La letra es menos dramática que la original, pero que narices cuesta trabajo contar:
When we're roamin' the streets and we see one car
We always add one and make it two
It don't matter why we like to add one and one
Out here it's the thing to do
Now some say that screaming one plus one all night
Means we're thoughtless, cruel, and bad
But kids like you and me baby, we were born to add
Yes, sir, we were!
As we keep on wandering we see two trash cans
So we add one and make it three
There's a lot of us adders on the Jersey Shore
Out here it's the thing to be
Yeah, we'll keep on shoutin' one plus two
Even though it makes 'em mad
'Cuz kids like you and me baby, we were born to add
Baby we were born to add!
One and two and three police persons spring out of the shadows
Down the corner comes one more
And we scream into that city night, three plus one makes four!
Well, they seemed to think we're disturbin' the peace
But we won't let 'em make us sad
'Cuz kids like you and me baby, we were born to add
Baby we were born to add!
Baby we were born to add!
Add! Add! Add!
Baby we were born to add!
Add! Add! Add!
Baby we were born to add!
Oh, Add
Baby we were born to add!
Baby we were born to add!
Add, add, add, add, add!
We always add one and make it two
It don't matter why we like to add one and one
Out here it's the thing to do
Now some say that screaming one plus one all night
Means we're thoughtless, cruel, and bad
But kids like you and me baby, we were born to add
Yes, sir, we were!
As we keep on wandering we see two trash cans
So we add one and make it three
There's a lot of us adders on the Jersey Shore
Out here it's the thing to be
Yeah, we'll keep on shoutin' one plus two
Even though it makes 'em mad
'Cuz kids like you and me baby, we were born to add
Baby we were born to add!
One and two and three police persons spring out of the shadows
Down the corner comes one more
And we scream into that city night, three plus one makes four!
Well, they seemed to think we're disturbin' the peace
But we won't let 'em make us sad
'Cuz kids like you and me baby, we were born to add
Baby we were born to add!
Baby we were born to add!
Add! Add! Add!
Baby we were born to add!
Add! Add! Add!
Baby we were born to add!
Oh, Add
Baby we were born to add!
Baby we were born to add!
Add, add, add, add, add!
Como os decía esta canción es una versión libre de Born to Run. Esta canción apareció en el disco del mismo nombre publicado en 1975 y que era el tercer albúm de estudio del Boss (considerado como el albúm nº 18 de todos los tiempos por Rolling Stone en 2003, de los albums de rock obviamente).
Aunque supongo que no hace falta os dejo un vídeo del tema, que se corresponde con la actuación de Barcelona en 2002, y que está traducido.
El disco solo tenía 8 temas y los mejores para mi gusto eran el primer tema de la cara A; «Thunder Road», que es uno de mis temas favoritos de siempre y el primero de la cara B que era Born to Run. Hace cinco años se sacó un disco conmemorativo del 30 anniversario con mas temas (unos catorce en total) y dos DVDs, si alguno tiene interés se vuelve a vender actualmente en FNAC un pelin rebajado.
Esta canción como los temas de Springsteen tienen pocas versiones, al menos que yo conozca, por eso de incluir alguna adjunto la de Frankie Goes To Hollywood, grupo tecno-pop que se decía antes de los 80 y cuya canción que mas me gusta es "The Power of Love"
Para finalizar aunque no tenga nada que ver otro tema que se llama igual, no se parece en nada pero también me gusta mucho sobre todo en esta versión en la que toca Mark Knopfler, junto a Emmylou Harris, que creo se corresponde al disco en directo de Verona de 2006
guau! Bruce Sprinteen que guay y con traducción.
ResponderEliminarEl tema country de Mark Knopfer y emmylou harris que bonito. Feliz finde.
Hombre, "the box",qué sorpresa, qué fuerza!!,genial..
ResponderEliminarNo me imaginaba a Franki versionando a Bruce, aunque no está nada mal, pero yo lo prefiero en "Relax"o por supuestisimo en "The Power of Love", con ese video tan en concordancia con estas fiestas navideñas....¡Qué bonito!
La canción de Mark Knofler con Emmylou Harris me ha sorprendido gratamente también con esos violines de fondo, sí señor!
Muchas gracias por instruirnos musicalmente cada semana!!!
Que buena...que bueana!!! gracias por traerme a los chicos de sesame street!!!
