¡Música maestro! #15: Someone like you (Adele)

17/11/2012

Quizá nadie se lo haya preguntado pero yo sí en ocasiones: ¿en qué se inspira un cantante a la hora de componer? Es escuchar tal o cual canción y preguntármelo. ¡Guau!, ¿se basará en él o ella? ¿Lo que canta lo ha sentido alguna vez?... Esas cosas. Cierto es que las fuentes de inspiración son muy dispares. Por ejemplo, Lady Gaga se inspira en su infancia para escribir canciones e incluso en sus legiones de fans, llamados cariñosamente "pequeños monstruitos" por ella misma; el mocosillo ¿ídolo del pop? Justin Bieber, no es tonto él, en el rey del pop Michael Jackson (un buen referente, pero lástima, no le llega a la suela del zapato); Alejandro Sanz en México lindo (su gente, su poesía, sus músicos, su pasión por la vida, ha llegado a declarar)...etc. Y así podría seguir hasta el infinito porque ya digo, las hay muy dispares.

Pero, y la voz del momento, todo un descubriemiento, ¿en qué o quién se inspira? La cantautora británica Adele ha sorprendido para bien tanto a crítica y público con el sencillo Someone like You, todo un tema de desamor marcado por el abandono. Inspirada en una tortuosa relación amorosa, su letra habla del fin que supuso tal relación, que, sin embargo, para la joven Adele no fue así. Una más qué buenísisima fuente de inspiración, el desamor, a juzgar por el gran tema que compuso ella misma al sonido tenue y suave de un piano. No enamoró a su pareja, pero sí que llegó a escandilar al mismísimo James Bond (cuyo tema central SkyFall para la BSO de la 23º película del agente 007 ha sido compuesta también por Adele) y por el camino, a miles de fans por todo el mundo.

Tema: Someone like you.
Intérprete: Adele.
Disco: 21 (2011).
Y, ¿por qué la recomiendo?:
porque es intensa y desgarradora como pocas. La voz de Adele, a lo Edith Piaf, llega a conmover y emocionar, representa un culmen de la sencillez sentida y sufrida, una consagración a su virtud. A pesar del desamor evocado, la chica se hace fuerte ante la adversidad. Y porque a veces no hace falta más que una buena voz para hacerse notar.



LETRA+TRADUCCIÓN:

I heard that you're settled down That you found a girl and you're married now I heard that your dreams came true Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded That for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
You know how the time flies Only yesterday was the time of our lives We were born and raised in a summer haze Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded That for me, it isn't over yet
Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Nothing compares, no worries or cares Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

I heard that you're settled down / He oído que has sentado la cabeza,
That you found a girl and you're married now / que encontraste una chica y ahora estás casado.
I heard that your dreams came true / He oído que tus sueños se hicieron realidad.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you / Imagino que ella te dio todo lo que yo no te dí.

Old friend, why are you so shy? / Viejo amigo, ¿por qué estás tan tímido?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light / No es propio de tí detenerte o esconderte de la luz.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited / Detesto resurgir de la nada sin ser invitada
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it / pero no pude apartarme, no pude evitarlo.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded / Esperaba que vieras mi rostro y que recordaras
That for me it isn't over / que para mí no se acabó.

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO
Never mind, I'll find someone like you / No importa, encontraré a alguien como tú.
I wish nothing but the best for you too / No deseo más que lo mejor para tí también.
Don't forget me, I beg / No me olvides, te lo ruego.
I remember you said, / Recuerdo que dijiste,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead." (x2) / "A veces el amor perdura, pero otras, en cambio, duele. (x2)

You know how the time flies / Sabes cómo vuela el tiempo.
Only yesterday was the time of our lives / Ayer mismo vivimos el mejor momento de nuestras vidas.
We were born and raised in a summer haze / Nacimos y crecimos en una neblina de verano,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days / entrelazados por la sorpresa de nuestros gloriosos días.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited / Detesto resurgir de la nada sin ser invitada
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it / pero no pude apartarme, no pude evitarlo.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded / Esperaba que vieras mi rostro y que recordaras
That for me it isn't over / que para mí no se acabó.

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO

Nothing compares / Nada es comparable
No worries or cares / ni las preocupaciones o los impedimentos.
Regrets and mistakes / Los lamentos y los errores
They are memories made / están hechos de recuerdos.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste? / ¿Quién hubiera sabido cuán amargo sabría esto?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you / No importa, encontraré a alguien como tú.
I wish nothing but the best for you / No deseo más que lo mejor para tí.
Don't forget me, I beg / No me olvides, te lo ruego.
I remember you said, / Recuerdo que dijiste,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead." / "A veces el amor perdura, pero otras, en cambio, duele.

Esta canción me encanta, aunque me pone un poquillo melancólica.
¡Besos!

Ay, ¡que recuerdos me trae esta canción! Recuerdos a blog, a frío, a nieve y a invierno. Solía escucharla en invierno, en vacaciones de Navidad (ya sabes, ese periodo de tiempo en el que tu estado de ánimo cae de 1000 a 0 y en que prefieres escuchar música que estudiar el Present Perfect). Da la casualidad de que ''21'', el álbum en el que está incluida esta canción, y creo que casi lo desgasté.

A mí también me pone MUY triste, muy melancólico, supongo que es el poder de la música, hacerte sentir lo que siente el cantante cuando la escribe o la interpreta. Por ejemplo, Lady Gaga (a la que has mencionado) me hace sentir que soy diferente, que nací de esta manera y que puedo seguir luchando por mis sueños, porque no hay nada imposible en esta vida más que la muerte. Y la amo. Me transmite tanto, me transmite tanta fuerza y tanta confianza... Por eso y por mucho más puedo llamarme Little Monster, o Pequeño Monstruo como tú dices, y bein orgulloso estoy de serlo :)

Ahora no voy a escuchar 'Someone Like You' porque si no me pongo triste, mejor me voy a Ke$ha y me quedo con sus subidones de adredalina; aún tengo que reseñar.

¡Saludos, Silvia!

¿Tu ánimo decae en invierno? ¡¡Pero si es mi estación favorita junto con el otoño!! ¡¡Viva el invierno-o-o-o!! ;)

Ya veo que a todos produce el mismo efecto: tristeza. Y es verdad: la canción es triste, evoca sufrimiento. Si consigue eso una y mil veces, el objetivo de la cantante se consigue: conmocionar.

Y lo que dices de la música es tan cierto como un templo de grande: según qué tema y/o intérprete nos sentimos así o asá. Es la magia de este arte.

Salu2 también para tí //

Me encanta esta canción. Es preciosa y la voz y sentimiento de Adele es... simplemente espectacular.

Dicen que cada maestrillo tiene su librillo, y muchos músicos, igual que muchos escritores, se inspiran en su vida, vivencias, ... Pero también creo que hay gente que tiene ese don, sin vivirlo, poderlo sentir.

Besotes!

Es cierto. Hay artistas que nacen con un don, a veces diría que hasta divino. Y esta chica además de sentir lo que canta, tiene una voz prodigiosa. A mí me lo parece y ya me es inconfundible. Con este tema me ganó. No hago más que tararear su estribillo, lo cual es bueno.

Besos Patri //
