El álbum de Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid me lo compré en Sabiñánigo, hacia el 77—era más joven que Billy el Niño, pero ya me gustaba Dylan. La canción la grabé mucho más tarde, cuando ya estaba más viejo que Pat Garrett, pero el tiempo está que no para, y vamos camino de convertirnos en un auténtico old timer.

La mauvaise réputation (2)

Una de Brassens que canto a veces, aunque eso de ir por ahí cantando en francés no me ponga buena fama precisamente.

Tower of Song mp3

I asked Leonard Cohen how lonely does it get—
Leonard Cohen hasn't answered yet...

  
Aquí mi primera versión de Tower of Song. Han trasladado todas mis pistas de YouTube un poco más allá, a little further down the track, a un sitio mp3 de corta vida. But no matter—

 
 

 
I'll be singing to you softly from a Windows (or a Mac)
In the Tower of Song.

Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here

En los 70 la empecé a tocar, ésta de Pink Floyd, y nunca terminé.  Seguimos enviando la misma postal—ahora mptresstressada. Versión unplugged, claro—plugged only to the same old tunes:
 

We're two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground,
What have we found?
The same old fears—
Wish you were here

TIME


Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

___

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

Mon fils chante

Aún no tengo claro si es un imperativo o no, pero es una de las varias versiones de esta canción que sigo sin redondear...

Mon fils chante


Juliette Gréco era quien la cantaba en los setenta, y quién sabe si también hoy.

As I Went Out One Morning

 




AsI went out one morning

To breathe the air around Tom Paine's 
I spied the fairest damsel
That ever did walk in chains...
