Joyas musicales LXI (“Dancing in the Dark”)

Estoy bailando en la oscuridad, en mi propia oscuridad, en una oscuridad forzada por el devenir caprichoso del destino, una oscuridad sin horizonte luminoso, una oscuridad que perdurará por tiempo indeterminado, hasta que se haga la luz, escondida en algún recóndito lugar.

Recurro a Bruce, a Bruce Springsteen, para que me muestre el camino, para que me ilumine, para que señale hacia donde proseguir mi caminar, y él me responde con una obra maestra musical, una verdadera joya que nunca pasa de moda, me acompañó en los 80 y sigue conmigo a pesar del cambio de siglo.

¿Qué mejor que empezar un fin de semana con Bruce Springsteen?

Dancing in the dark

I get up in the evening
and I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired
Man I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
even if we’re just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
radio’s on and I’m moving ’round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere
I’m just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
baby I just know that there is

You can’t start a fire
you can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
even if we’re just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
there’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
come on baby this laugh’s on me

Stay on the streets of this town
and they’ll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
hey baby I’m just about starving tonight
I’m dying for some action
I’m sick of sitting ’round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
come on now baby gimme just one look

You can’t start a fire sitting ’round crying over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You can’t start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Hey baby
