Ayer mi día terminó con la misma banda sonora con la que empezó el
día de hoy. José González es uno de esos artistas que logra transmitir
una enorme cantidad de paz con sus melodías y letras, y su música es
ideal para cerrar una semana agitada y empezar tranquilo el Lunes.
El
tema de hoy es uno de los más lindos que tiene. La letra es bien
directa y salida del corazón; y cualquiera se puede sentir identificado
con ella, haya sufrido o no alguna vez por amor.
Hand on your Heart es parte del EP Stay in the Shade (2004) y junto con su disco debut, Veneer (2003) son lo mejor que ha sacado. La letra habla de no rendirse, y de un amor incondicional, y deja algunos mensajes que no deben ser pasados por alto. Sospecho que la historia no debe terminar bien, pero esa interpretación corre por cuenta de cada uno.
Lo que más destaco de este autor sueco-argentino son su voz y forma de tocar, que junto con sus letras hacen que puedas escuchar de corrido toda su discografía.
Dejo un video en vivo de este tema y la letra. Como siempre, destaco en rojo las partes que más me llegan.
Well it's one thing to fall in love
But another to make it last
I thought that we were just beginning
And now you say we're in the past
Look me in the eye
and tell me we are really through
You know it's one thing to say you love me
but another to mean it from the heart
And if you don't intend to see it through
why did we ever start?
I wanna hear you tell me
you don't want my love
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
it's all over
I won't believe it till you
put your hand on your heart and tell me
that we're through
Put your hand on your heart
They like to talk about for ever
Most people never get the chance
Do you wanna lose our love together
Do you find a new romance
I wanna hear you tell me
you don't want my love
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
it's all over
I won't believe it till you
put your hand on your heart and tell me
that we're through
Put your hand on your heart
hand on your heart
Look me in the eye
and tell me we are really through
But another to make it last
I thought that we were just beginning
And now you say we're in the past
Look me in the eye
and tell me we are really through
You know it's one thing to say you love me
but another to mean it from the heart
And if you don't intend to see it through
why did we ever start?
I wanna hear you tell me
you don't want my love
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
it's all over
I won't believe it till you
put your hand on your heart and tell me
that we're through
Put your hand on your heart
They like to talk about for ever
Most people never get the chance
Do you wanna lose our love together
Do you find a new romance
I wanna hear you tell me
you don't want my love
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
it's all over
I won't believe it till you
put your hand on your heart and tell me
that we're through
Put your hand on your heart
hand on your heart
Look me in the eye
and tell me we are really through
