El fin del Verano.

¡Qué paz se respiraba ahora! Sentada en su sillón de siempre, frente al amplio ventanal que iluminaba su salón, Mónica observaba cómo las volutas de su cigarrillo rubio se difuminaban antes de llegar al techo, absorbidas por la penumbra. ¡Por fin en casa! ¡Ya era hora! – pensó –. Ya era hora. Cada año soportaba menos las malditas vacaciones estivales. Atascos interminables; maridos ricos, como el suyo, que nunca dejaban a un lado el trabajo…, ni perdían de vista un bonito par de piernas; niños mimados, maleducados, campando por sus respetos; veladas interminables; sol sofocante; conversaciones triviales hasta el hastío; esposas infieles, como sus maridos, tan sólo preocupadas por su aspecto… Pero ya estaba en casa. No sabía bien cómo ni en qué momento tomó la decisión. Sólo que, ahora, sí que se sentía bien. Debo poner en orden la casa, antes de que vengan – se dijo.

En la calle, los vecinos del lujoso barrio residencial se agolpaban en la acera, frente a su ventana. Ecos de sirenas podían oírse cada vez con más intensidad.

Un olor acre dejaba en sus labios un sabor a cobre. Ajena a todo lo que ocurría fuera y exhalando lo que apenas se asemejaba a un resignado suspiro, alargó su mano izquierda para tomar de la mesita su vermouth cuando alguien gritó: ¡Abran! ¡Es la Policía! Mesándose ligeramente el cabello, dedicó una mirada furtiva a los cinco cadáveres que se amontonaban en la carísima alfombra turca. Una gota de sangre que no era suya resbaló de sus dedos para caer sobre el líquido y permaneció flotando durante unos segundos, sin diluirse en el alcohol, como una aceituna siniestra. ¡Qué paz se respiraba ahora!

'My Sharona'


Verano del 79'


Demostrado: la New Wave 'mata'. Un estribillo repetido una y otra vez hasta lograr que entres en un éxtasis de idiotez total.


Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.

When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?

Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.

Gun it comin' off the line Sharona

Never gonna stop, give it up.

Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch

of the younger kind.

My my my i yi woo…

M M M My Sharona...

.

Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh.

Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.

Keeping it a mystery gets to me

Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona

Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.

Always get it up for the touch

of the younger kind.

My my my i yi woo…

M M M My Sharona...

.

When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.

It is just a matter of time Sharona

Is it just destiny, destiny?

Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?

Never gonna stop, give it up.

Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch

of the younger kind.

My my my i yi woo…

M M M My Sharona...

'I'm Not in Love'

.

Verano del 75'


La letra dice no, pero ese muro sofocante de armonías dice sí.

I'm not in love

So don't forget it

It's just a silly phase I'm going through

And just because

I call you up

Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love, no no, it's because..

.

I like to see you

But then again

That doesn't mean you mean that much to me

So if I call you

Don't make a fuss

Don't tell your friends about the two of us

I'm not in love, no no, it's because…

.

I keep your picture

Upon the wall

It hides a nasty stain that's lying there

So don't you ask me

To give it back

I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me

I'm not in love, no no, it's because..

.

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me

Ooh you'll wait a long time

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me

Ooh you'll wait a long time

.

I'm not in love

So don't forget it

It's just a silly phase I'm going through

And just because I call you up

Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love

I'm not in love.

'Kodachrome'


Verano del 73'


La impasibilidad que mostraba 'A Hazy Shade of Winter’ – 'Una opaca sombra de invierno' – resultó más adepta a la brillantez del astro rey cuando restableció su memoria fotográfica.

When I think back

On all the crap I learned in high school

It's a wonder

I can think at all

And though my lack of edu---cation

Hasn't hurt me none

I can read the writing on the wall

.

Kodachrome

They give us those nice bright colors

They give us the greens of summers

Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah

I got a Nikon camera

I love to take a photograph

So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

.

If you took all the girls I knew

When I was single

And brought them all together for one night

I know they'd never match

my sweet imagination

everything looks WORSE in black and white

.

Kodachrome

They give us those nice bright colors

They give us the greens of summers

Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah

I got a Nikon camera

I love to take a photograph

So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

.

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

.

Mama don't take my Kodachrome

Mama don't take my Kodachrome

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

.

Mama don't take my Kodachrome

Leave your boy so far from home

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away.

'Let's Get It On'


Verano del 73'

Una música tan suave como desafiante era su título. Todo un incomparable himno de seducción.

And if you feel like I feel baby

Let’s get it on, sugar

Let’s get it on, woo

.

We’re all sensitive people with so much to give

Understand me sugar

Since we got to be, let’s live, I love you

There’s nothin’ wrong with me lovin’ you, baby no no

And givin’ yourself to me can never be wrong

If the love is true, oh baby ooh

.

Don’t you know how sweet and wonderful life can be, ooh ooh

I’m askin’ you baby to get it on with me, ooh ooh ooh

I ain’t goin’ to worry, I ain’t goin’ to push, won’t push you baby

So come on come on come on come on come on baby

Stop beatin’ round the bush, hey

.

Let’s get it on, ooh ooh

Let’s get it on, you know what I’m talkin’ about

Come on baby, hey hey, let your love come out

If you believe in love let’s get it on, ooh

Stop beatin’ round the bush, oh, gonna get it on

Beggin’ you baby I want to get it on

You don’t have to worry that it’s wrong

If the spirit moves you, let me groove you

Good, let your love come down, oh

Get it on, come on baby, do you know I mean it

Girl you give me good feelings, so good

Somethin’ like summertime.
