Hace muchos, muchos años, del primer disco que escuché de Caetano Veloso me llamaron muchísimo la atención las tres canciones de The Beatles que aquel cantaba: "Eleanor Rigby", "Lady Madonna" y "For no one". Tres canciones maravillosas, tres versiones deliciosas.
De las tres, "For no one" es la que durante estos años más me ha gustado escuchar, tanto por el brasileño como por los de Liberpul, y cantar.
Pero su letra no sabía de qué hablaba exactamente. Sabía que era una triste canción de amor y desamor.
Ahora que la he leído y traducido con más detenimiento la siento como una amarga saudade.
Hermosa canción.
For no one
Lennon/McCartney
Your
day breaks, your mind aches,
you
find that all her words of kindness linger on
when
she no longer needs you
She
wakes up, she makes up,
she
takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no
longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want her, you need her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want her, you need her
and yet
you don't believe her when she says her love is dead
You
think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out,
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out,
she
says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She
doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
there
will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You
won't forget her
And in
her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
