"Nothing Compares 2 U"


Una canción de Sinéad O'Connor.

Una gran letra para ocaciones determinadas, aunque si el momento no existiera, sería precisa de igual forma. Para cualquiera o para nadie, da lo mismo, pues la intención está siempre latente. Siempre en mí.


It's been seven hours
and fifteen days

Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I
want

I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy
restaurant

But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you
here

Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from
falling

Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I
see

But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told
me

Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted,
mama

In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes
hard

But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you.



Me acordé de ella cuando regresaba de Cachagua. La había escuchado tantas veces cuando chica, y ese día cobraba significado. Veía como pasaban los postes de la carretera, uno a uno, cada vez más rápido. Ahí entendí todo. Llegué a Santiago, solo a dormir, y me calmé.
