En una semana donde el bombardeo de información sobre el viaje del Apolo XI a la Luna va a ser masivo, he querido sumarme a la celebración con algunas pequeñas curiosidades. La primera consiste en presentarte el primer film sobre el tema (la friolera de 67 años antes del viaje real), "Le voyage dans la lune" (1902) del prolífico Georges Méliès:
Después de ver esta gozada te presento el homenaje que hizo el grupo Smashing Pumpkins a dicho film, utilizando como base el tema "Tonight, Tonight":
Cuya letra original es:
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That youre not stuck in vain
Were not the same, were different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know youre never sure
But youre sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe theres not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
Well crucify the insincere tonight
Well make things right, well feel it all tonight
Well find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That youre not stuck in vain
Were not the same, were different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know youre never sure
But youre sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe theres not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
Well crucify the insincere tonight
Well make things right, well feel it all tonight
Well find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
Y su pobre traducción al castellano:
Tiempo no es tiempo en absoluto
Nunca puedes irte sin dejar un pedazo de juventud
Y nuestras vidas han cambiado para siempre
Nunca seremos los mismos
Mientras más cambias menos sientes
Cree en mi, cree en mi, cree
Que la vida puede cambiar,
Que tu no estás estancado sin esperanza
No somos los mismos, somos diferentes esta noche
Esta noche, tan brillante
Esta noche
Y tu sabes que nunca has estado seguro
pero estás seguro de que podrías tener la razón
Si te aferras tu mismo a la luz
Y las chispas nunca desaparecen en tu ciudad junto al lago
El lugar donde naciste
Cree, cree en mi, cree
En la resuelta urgencia del ahora
Y si crees no habrá ocasión esta noche
Esta noche, tan brillante
Esta noche
Crucificaremos al hipócrita esta noche
Haremos las cosas bien, lo sentiremos todo esta noche
Si te sometes a la noche esta noche
Los indescriptibles momentos de tu vida esta noche
Lo imposible es posible esta noche
Cree en mi como yo creo en ti, esta noche
Nunca puedes irte sin dejar un pedazo de juventud
Y nuestras vidas han cambiado para siempre
Nunca seremos los mismos
Mientras más cambias menos sientes
Cree en mi, cree en mi, cree
Que la vida puede cambiar,
Que tu no estás estancado sin esperanza
No somos los mismos, somos diferentes esta noche
Esta noche, tan brillante
Esta noche
Y tu sabes que nunca has estado seguro
pero estás seguro de que podrías tener la razón
Si te aferras tu mismo a la luz
Y las chispas nunca desaparecen en tu ciudad junto al lago
El lugar donde naciste
Cree, cree en mi, cree
En la resuelta urgencia del ahora
Y si crees no habrá ocasión esta noche
Esta noche, tan brillante
Esta noche
Crucificaremos al hipócrita esta noche
Haremos las cosas bien, lo sentiremos todo esta noche
Si te sometes a la noche esta noche
Los indescriptibles momentos de tu vida esta noche
Lo imposible es posible esta noche
Cree en mi como yo creo en ti, esta noche
Por cierto, por si te pica la curiosidad, "yo sí creo que el hombre ha llegado a la Luna".
Buenas, acabo de conseguir conectarme a internet y para celebrar este tiempo de adviento voy a cantar una maravillosa cancion.
ResponderEliminar"Ain't No Chuchi High Enough"
de Marvin Gaye y Tammi Terrell.
Listen, Chuchi
Ain't no Chuchi high
Ain't no Chuchi low
Ain't no Chuchi wide enough, Chuchi
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a Chuchi
You don't have to worry
Cause Chuchi,
There ain't no Chuchi high enough
Ain't no Chuchi low enough
Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Remember the Chuchi
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on Chuchi
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, some how
Cause Chuchi,
There ain't no Chuchi high enough
Ain't no Chuchi low enough
Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Oh Chuchi, no wind, no rain
No winters cold can't stop Chuchi
No, no Chuchi, cause you are my informatic teacher
If you ever in trouble,
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh Chuchi
My Chuchi is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can
Don't you know that
There ain't no Chuchi high enough
Ain't no Chuchi low enough
Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Don't you know that
There ain't no Chuchi high enough
Ain't no Chuchi low enough
Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
"Chuchi" de Chuchik and the Dominos
What will you do when you get lonely
and nobody´s waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Chuchi!.
You've got me on my knees, Chuchi
Begging darling please,Chuchi.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
Tried to give you Chuchi.
When your old man, he let you down.
But like a fool, I fell in love with you.
You turned my whole world upside down.
Chuchi.
You've got me on my knees, Chuchi.
Begging darling please, Chuchi.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
Make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
Or tell me all my 9 in Chuchi
Chuchi.
You've got me on my knees, Chuchi.
Begging darling please, Chuchi.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
