Interviú

 



Periodista: ¿Del amor entiende, Borges? 

Borges: Sí. Desgraciadamente, sí. 

Periodista: ¿Cómo desgraciadamente?

Borges: Porque desgraciadamente pienso que trae más pesares que placeres. Ahora claro que la felicidad que da el amor es tan grande que más vale ser desdichado muchas veces para ser feliz algunas. ¡Es también una cuestión de estadística!

Periodista: Vale la pena entonces ser desdichados muchas veces para ser felices un minuto?

Borges: Sí. Yo creo que sí. Yo creo que todos nosotros hemos sido muy felices con el amor alguna vez y también creo que todos hemos sido muy desdichados muchas veces. El amor le ofrece a uno esa incertidumbre, esa inseguridad del hecho de poder pasar de una felicidad absoluta a la desdicha; pero también de poder pasar de la desdicha a la brusca, a la inesperada felicidad. Pienso que es una experiencia y uno no debe rehusar experiencias.

Baile inolvidable

 



(*) Bad Bunny


Pensaba que contigo iba a envejecer
En otra vida, en otro mundo podrá ser
En esta solo queda irme un día
Y solamente verte en el atardecer
Si me ven solo y triste, no me hablen
Si me ven solo y triste, soy culpable

La vida es una fiesta que un día termina
Y fuiste tú mi baile inolvidable
Y fuiste tú mi baile inolvidable

Mientras uno está vivo
Uno debe amar lo más que pueda

Pensaba que contigo iba a envejecer
En otra vida, en otro mundo podrá ser
En esta solo queda irme un día
Y ver pa’l cielo a ver si te veo caer
Si me ven solo y triste, no me hablen
Si me ven solo y triste, soy culpable
La vida es una fiesta que un día termina
Y fuiste tú mi baile inolvidable

No, no te puedo olvidar
No, no te puedo borrar
Tú me enseñaste a querer
Me enseñaste a bailar
No, no te puedo olvidar
No, no te puedo borrar
Tú me enseñaste a querer
Me enseñaste a bailar

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, ey
Dime cómo le hago pa’ olvidarte
Hay un paso nuevo que quiero enseñarte
En las noche’ ya ni puedo dormir
Lo que hago es soñarte

No, no te puedo olvidar
No, no te puedo borrar
Tú me enseñaste a querer
Me enseñaste a bailar

Cómo tú me besabas, cómo yo te lo hacía
Cómo tú me mirabas, bellaquito me ponía
Se siente feo no tenerte cerquita
La nueva mama bien, pero no es tu boquita
Mi diabla, mi ángel, mi loquita
Mi diabla, mi ángel, mi loquita, ey

‘To suena cabrón
Vamo’ a hacerlo otra ve’
Como anoche, como anoche
Tan-tan, ta-na-na, ta-na-na
Aprieta, chamaquito, aprieta
¡Ahí, ahí, ahí, vamo’ allá! 

No, no te puedo olvidar
No, no te puedo borrar
Tú me enseñaste a querer
Me enseñaste a bailar

Ay, yo con cualquiera me puedo acostar
Pero no con cualquiera quiero despertar
Solo con usted, con usted
Yo bailo con usted, na’ más con usted
Un beso donde estés, donde estés, bebé

No, no te puedo olvidar
No, no te puedo borrar
Tú me enseñaste a querer
Me enseñaste a bailar

Y yo tenía muchas novia’
Pero como tú, ninguna
Ya no tengo mi sol, me paso en la luna
Si te pienso, me tiro de una
Eh-eh, mi diabla, mi ángel, mi loquita
Mi diabla, mi ángel, mi loquita, eh-eh

Open my door




(*) Alice Phoebe Lou

I used to open my doorTo pretty much anyone who was tryna look forA place to feel safeBut I made my whole world safer for everyone but me
So, I took my bones and I called them my ownAnd I found a place inside that's safe for meAnd now I wander the world alone but aliveSmiling on the inside
I'm taking back all the pieces of meThat were taken unwillinglyI'm offering myself up to the heavensI'm ready to love what I've been givenI'm getting back to my own rhythmIt's such a new kind of livingI'm picking myself up off the carpetI'm running my hands over my bodyI'm back on land, welcome to your life, Alice
I used to open my doorTo pretty much anyone who was tryna look forA place to feel safeBut I made my whole world safer for everyone but me

Before

 



(*) Obispo/ N’Dour


The telephone's not answered

So many times you'll call

For many different reasons
So many tears will fall
Before you find your love
Before it comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
So many fears will haunt you
Deny them or regret
Some men will make you want to
And you will not forget
Before you find your love
Before it comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
There's a story of a man who loved too much
He ended up inside a prison cell
You've got to want to give to get it
Or you could land up in the same suspicious hell
It's happened before
It's happened before
Coincidence and patience
Will mend this fatal flaw
Though it may seem a long wait
Others have been here
Before you find your love
Before it comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
One day when the phone starts ringing

You'll answer to the words you're longing for

No tears, no trade, no prison cell

Whatever you need, he will return more

It's happened before

It's happened before

Ordinary love

 



(*) Clayton / Bono / Mullen Jr / The Edge 



The sea wants to kiss the golden shore

The sunlight warms your skin

All the beauty that's been lost before wants to find us again

I can't fight you any more, it's you I'm fighting for

The sea throws rock together but time leaves us polished stones

We can't fall any further if

We can't feel ordinary love

And we can't reach any higher,

If we can't deal with ordinary love

Birds fly high in the summer sky and rest on the breeze.

The same wind will take care of you and I.

We'll build our house in the trees.

Your heart is on my sleeve

Did you put it there with a magic marker?

For years I would believe that the would couldn't wash it away

'Cause we can't fall any further if

We can't feel ordinary love

And we can't reach any higher,

If we can't deal with ordinary love

Are we tough enough for ordinary love?

We can't fall any further if

We can't feel ordinary love

And we can't reach any higher,

If we can't deal with ordinary love

We can't fall any further, if

We can't feel ordinary love

And we can't reach any higher,

If we can't deal with ordinary love
