Post 200: Nothing To Say - Nada Que decir

Ian Anderson

Nada Que Decir
por Ian Anderson
de Jethro Tull

Todos los días hay alguien preguntando
"¿Qué hay que hacer?"
¿Debería yo amar o debo luchar?,
¿Os da lo mismo a vos?

No digo que tengo la respuesta correcta,
Pero si tuviera que compartirla,
Vosotros os beneficiaríais
Y a mi me tocaria la de perder.
Oh, yo no podía soportarlo,
Así que
No tengo nada que decir.
Nada que decir.

Cada mañana,
Amanezco con bolsas bajo mis ojos.
Los techos caen, las paredes colapsan,
Rotas por las calumnias
Que vuestro mal hado ha traído sobre nosotros
Y no voy a ocultarlo.

Así que no me pregunteis si voy a explicarme,
Ni siquiera voy a empezar a decir por qué.
No, solo porque tengo un nombre.
Bien,
No tengo nada que decir.
Nada que decir.

Escalad una torre de libertad,
Pintad vuestra propia marca engañosa.
No está en mi poder criticar,
O pediros que hagais la vista gorda
Para con vuestras urgencias.
Y al odio teneis que aflojar.

Así que no me pidais respuestas,
No hay ninguna que yo pudiera daros,
Que no fuerais a encontrar.
Hace diez años también recorrí vuestro camino
Y No tengo nada que decir.
Nada que decir .-

Nothing To Say






Everyday there's someone asking
What is there to do?
Should I love or should I fight
Is it all the same to you?

No I say I have the answer proven to be true,
But if I were to share it with you,
You would stand to gain And I to lose.
Oh I couldn't bear it
So I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Every morning pressure forming
All around my eyes.
Ceilings crash, the walls collapse,
Broken by the lies
That your misfortune brought upon us
And I won't disguise them.

So don't ask me will I explain
I won't even begin to tell you why.
No, just because I have a name
Well I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Climb a tower of freedom,
Paint your own deceiving sign.
It's not my power
To criticize or to ask you to be blind
To your own pressing problem
And the hate you must unwind.

So ask of me no answer
There is none that I could give you wouldn't find.
I went your way ten years ago
And I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.-

By Ian Anderson

Merry Christmas!

In my country the people start to celebrate the pseudo-Xmas some early each year, lets say half October, but I did to wait December's first day to get involved the nearer to Xmas Spirit, until it is possible to do these days, without fall down in modern excess or extreme traditionalism. So I want to take to this Blog through the next days some classic or folk song videoclips, or yet traditionals around this latitudes, and of course the new ones because its quality deserve to be here. I hope to share a little of the almost lost spirit you may find yet if you search it with open mind. To begin, a true classic of Xmas rock: This is "A Christmas Song" by the Great Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull!

Ian Anderson - A Christmas Song

Artist: Ian Anderson
Album: The Jethro Tull Christmas Album (2003)

A Christmas Song

Once in Royal David's City stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby.
You'd do well to remember the things He later said.
When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties,
you'll laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making;
that Christmas spirit is not what you drink.

So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry
and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.

Hey, Santa... pass us that bottle, will you?
