Mis canciones favoritas - II

Canción: "Since I've Been Loving You"
Artista: Led Zeppelin
Álbum: Led Zeppelin III
Año: 1970

Este es uno de los blues más hermosamente hechos que haya tenido el inmenso placer de oír. Además, me recuerda a varios sentimientos que pasaron por mi corazón hace no mucho tiempo, y que ahora no experimento tan seguido (vaya uno a saber la razón).

Tanto en lo musical como en lo lírico, no se aleja demasiado de los blues tradicionales que habían sido escritos hace un par de años, pero a esta estructura simple y siempre efectiva, los Led Zep le supieron agregar su propio sonido: es así como un blues común y corriente se llena de belleza indescriptible gracias al vastísimo talento de los maestros Robert Plant (con su siempre excelente voz), Jimmy Page (uno de los Dioses Absolutos de las 6 Cuerdas), John Paul Jones (aportando con bellísimos teclados) y John Bonham (qué batero del carajo, por dios). Este es uno de los máximos himnos de todos los corazones rotos del mundo.

Basta ya de palabras, aquí les dejo el tema (en la magistral versión en vivo de The Song Remains The Same) con su correspondiente letra:



Lyrics:

Working from seven to eleven every night,
really makes my life a drag, I don't think that's right.
I've really been the best, the best of fools, but I did what I could, yeah,
'cause I love you, baby, how I love you, darling,
how I love you, baby, how I love you, girl, little girl.

Baby, since I've been loving you, yeah,
I'm about to lose my worried mind, aah yeah.

Everybody trying to tell me that you didn't mean me no good,
I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you,
let me tell you I really did the best I could.
I've been working from seven to eleven every night,
I said it kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag, drag,
lord, that ain't right, no, no...

Since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying,
oh my tears they fell like rain.
Don't you hear them, don't you hear them falling?
Don't you hear them, don't you hear them falling?

Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
you didn't want me no more, yeah.
I open my front door, hear my back door slam,
you must have one of them new fangled, new fangled back door man, yeah, yeah, yeah

I've been working from seven, seven, seven, to eleven every night,
it kinda makes my life a drag, drag...

Baby, since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose, I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind.
Just one more, just one more.
Since I've been loving you,
I'm gonna lose my worried mind...

=)
