La música que nos acompaña

Escucho música todo el día. Ando con mi IPod para todos lados. Estoy pensando hacer un poema y una canción al IPod, bendito el que lo inventó. La música llena mi vida. Todo el día es una canción permanente. Tengo ripiados en mi computador más de 12 mil canciones... para todos los gustos...

Hoy me puse a pensar cuál es el canto que más me emociona, el que más he escuchado y el que no me canso de repetir una y otra vez. Terminé por escoger dos cantos, porque no me decidí por uno. Son dos cantos interpretados por el duo de Simón and Garfunkel, que para la mayoría de los leen lo que escribo seguramente les sonarán a marcianos, porque deben sentirlos como de la prehistoria son de la década de 1960, pero como la amistad se trata de traspasar fronteras y acercar puentes, los invito a que los busquen y los escuchen, y capaz que pueda crearse un lazo vía la música.

El primer canto es "Puente sobre aguas turbulentas" (Bridge Over Troubled Water). Me encanta oirlo, tengo varias versiones, incluso una gregoriana.
El otro es "Los sonidos del silencio" (The sound of silence).
Les dejo las letras, veánlas, búsquenlas y capaz que les emocionen como a mi, sino es así, bueno, por allí habrá otro canto que podrá llevarles emoción y será lindo entender que la música tiene mil maneras de encontrarnos.

Bridge Over Troubled Water


When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.


The sound of silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
