Rising Sun Blues

Ayer salí con unos colegas al nuevo TNT, en los bajos de Argüelles y luego fuimos al Refugio en Ventura Rodríguez. Hacia el final de la noche, recuerdo (y ya es mucho) haber pedido The House of The Rising Sun. Por la mañana, al despertar, estuve pensando sobre ella y me puse a oirla varias veces. También escuché otros temas a los que enlazaba (desde Youtube) este tema. The House of the Rising Sun es también llamada Rising Sun Blues, se trata de una canción folk americana y la interpretación más reconocida es la de The Animals. Es una de las canciones más versionadas de la historia y pertenece a la banda sonora de una de mis películas preferidas: Casino.

A continuación os dejo algunas de estas canciones mañaneras.

The House of The Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun.
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God I know I’m one.

My mother was a tailor,
she sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gambling man,
down in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time he’s satisfied
is when he’s on a drunk.

Oh mother tell your children,
not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery
in the house of the Rising Sun.

Well I got one foot on the platform and
the other foot on the train.
I’m goin back to New Orleans
to wear that ball and chain.

Well there is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God I know I’m one.

California Dreaming

All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day

I’d be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray

You know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I’m gonna stay
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day

All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day

If I didn’t tell her
I could leave today
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day x3

Born to be Wild

Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin’ with the wind
And the feelin’ that I’m under
Yeah darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild
