'I Got You Babe'

Verano del 65'

¿Nos importa que tan sólo se hablen el uno al otro? No. Estos tres minutos de amor casi babeante superan a todas las desigualdades sociales: él, todavía, no se dedicaba a la política y ella, aún, se reconocía en las fotos.

[Cher] They say we're young and we don't know

We won't find out until we grow

[Sonny] Well I don't know if all that's true

'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

.

[Sonny] Babe

[Ambos] I got you babe I got you babe

.

[Cher] They say our love won't pay the rent

Before it's earned, our money's all been spent

[Sonny] I guess that's so, we don't have a pot

But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

.

[Sonny] Babe

[Ambos] I got you babe I got you babe

.

[Sonny] I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring

[Cher] And when I'm sad, you're a clown

And if I get scared, you're always around

[Cher] So let them say your hair's too long

'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong

[Sonny] Then put your little hand in mine

There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

.

[Sonny] Babe

[Ambos] I got you babe I got you babe

.

[Sonny] I got you to hold my hand

[Cher] I got you to understand

[Sonny] I got you to walk with me

[Cher] I got you to talk with me

[Sonny] Igot you to kiss goodnight

[Cher] I got you to hold me tight

[Sonny] I got you, I won't let go

[Cher] I got you to love me so

.

[Ambos] I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe.

'(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'

Verano del 65'

No es de extrañar lo que este tema ha resistido: destila en pocas palabras como ningún otro la frustración sexual y la angustia de los adolescentes british. No cabe duda alguna: obra maestra de la grosería, grito del macho en celo. Riff de guitarra persistente, voz dura y amarga y ese coro tipo mantra hecho aullido empapado de libido – sí, es libido y no líbido, que eso es con ‘v’ y significa otra cosa…, aunque el Jagger lo esté –: imposible negarlo o escapar de él.

I can't get no satisfaction,

I can't get no satisfaction.

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.

I can't get no, I can't get no.

.

When I'm drivin' in my car

and that man comes on the radio

and he's tellin' me more and more

about some useless information

supposed to fire my imagination.

I can't get no, oh no no no.

Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

.

I can't get no satisfaction,

I can't get no satisfaction.

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.

I can't get no, I can't get no.

.

When I'm watchin' my TV

and that man comes on to tell me

how white my shirts can be.

Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke

the same cigarrettes as me.

I can't get no, oh no no no.

Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

.

I can't get no satisfaction,

I can't get no girl with action.

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.

I can't get no, I can't get no.

.

When I'm ridin' round the world

and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that

and I'm tryin' to make some girl

who tells me baby better come back later next week

'cause you see I'm on losing streak.

I can't get no, oh no no no.

Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

.

I can't get no, I can't get no,

I can't get no satisfaction,

no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction.

'Unchained Melody'

Verano del 65'

Originalmente concebida como cara B, esta balada primaria y agridulce, producida por Phil Spector, aún puede hacer que hombres hechos y derechos muestren su lado más sensible…, que lloren, vamos…

Oh, oh my love

Oh my darling

I've hungered for your touch

A long and lonely time

.

And time goes by

So slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

Oh, ho

.

I need your love

I need your love

I need your love

Godspeed your love to me

.

Lonely rivers flow

To the sea, to the sea

To the open arms of the sea

.

Lonely rivers sigh

Wait for me, wait for me

I'll be coming home

Wait for me

.

Oh, oh my love

Oh my darling

I've hungered for your touch

A long and lonely time

.

And time goes by

So slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

.

I need your love

I need your love (oh yeah)

I need your love

Godspeed your love to me

It to me

Godspeed your love to me

.

I need your love

I need your love

I need your love

I, need, your, love…

'California Girls'

Verano del 65'

El aterrizaje de la Psicodelia era inminente, aunque los hijos favoritos de la Costa Oeste aún se conformaban con seguir cantando acerca de coches y chicas... ¿Y por qué no, si el resultado era tan bueno como éste? Con sus armonías brillantes, estos chicos cantaban a las alabanzas de la feminidad de costa a costa antes de admitir sus preferencias: 'I wish they all could be California girls' (‘Me gustaría que todas pudieran ser chicas de California’). Una combinación de chauvinismo regional USA y sexismo nunca había sonado tan bien.

Well East coast girls are hip

I really dig those styles they wear

And the Southern girls with the way they talk

They knock me out when I'm down there

.

The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright

And the Northern girls with the way they kiss

They keep their boyfriends warm at night

.

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls

.

The West coast has the sunshine

And the girls all get so tanned

I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island

Dolls by a palm tree in the sand

.

I've been all around this great big world

And I've seen all kinds of girls

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states

Back to the cutest girls in the world

.

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls

.

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

'Where Did Our Love Go'

Verano del 64'

La locomotora de la 'Motown Hit Factory' funcionando a todo vapor; otro éxito de Holland/Dozier & Holland: te hacía preguntarte cómo podías reñir con Diana estando enamorado de ella.

Baby, baby

Baby don't leave me

Ooh, please don't leave me

All by myself

.

I've got this yearning, burning

Yearning feelin' inside me

Ooh, deep inside me

And it hurts so bad

.

You came into my heart

So tenderly

With a burning love

That stings like a bee

.

Now that I surrender

So helplessly

You now wanna leave

Ooh, you wanna leave me

.

Ooh, baby, baby

Where did our love go?

Ooh, don't you want me

Don't you want me no more

.

Ooh, baby

Baby, baby

Where did our love go

And all your promisses

Of a love forever more

.

I've got this yearning, burning

Yearning feelin' inside me

Ooh, deep inside me

And it hurts so bad

.

Before you won my heart

You were a perfect guy

But now that you got me

You wanna leave me behind

Baby, baby, ooh baby

.

Baby, baby don't leave me

Ooh, please don't leave me

All by myself

.

Ooh, baby, baby

Where did our love go?

'Remember (Walking In The Sand)'

Verano del 64'

Un regalo de George 'Shadow' Morton para mis chicas 'blancas' favoritas. 'Softly, Softly we'd meet with our lips'. Para comérsela... A Mary Weiss, obviamente...

Seems like the other day

My baby went away

He went away 'cross the sea

.

It's been two years or so

Since I saw my baby go

And then this letter came for me

.

It said that we were through

He found somebody new

Oh, let me think, let me think, what can I do?

.

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no

.

CHORUS: (remember) walkin' in the sand

(remember) walkin' hand in hand

(remember) the night was so exciting

(remember) smile was so inviting

(remember) then he touched my cheek

(remember) with his fingertips

Softly, softly we'd meet with our lips

.

Whatever happened to

The boy that I once knew?

The boy who said he'd be true

.

Oh, what will happen to

The life I gave to you?

What will I do with it now?

'A Hard Day's Night'

Verano del 64'

Comienza con el que podría ser el acorde más reconocido de la historia, un Sol sostenido cuarta que define la Beatlemanía propiamente dicha. Lennon y McCartney, sus melodías y sus arreglos. Aunque la letra no tiene nada de inocente…

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone

You know I feel okay

When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

,

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

.

Owwww!

.

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

.

When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, all through the night, yeah

.

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

You know I feel alright

You know I feel alright...
