Umbrella

Bob Dylan cantaba en 1963 en su célebre Blowin' in the wind que las respuestas están flotando en el aire.

Y es que las palabras, dulces, duras, sinceras, meditadas, improvisadas, comofueran, al final de van, se olvidan. Al viento de Bob Dylan quizás. Son las imágenes, algunas pasadas, algunas visiones futuras las que perduran en nuestro cerebro.

Nosotros elegimos hacernos una imagen o no de todas aquellas palabras que, con el tiempo, tememos pasen a nuestro olvido perecedero.

La canción es de Rihanna, y está incluida en su tercer álbum Good girl gone bad. Con la colaboración de Jay-Z, que toma la parte rap de la canción, la canción cobra fuerza y emotividad poco a poco. Batería poderosa y gran voz la de esta artista de Barbados...

When the sun shines, we'll shine together, told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend, took a note I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

Y fuera vuelve a llover. Pero no durará para siempre. En el horizonte vislumbro, traslas nubes, síntomas de un sol que quiere volver a brillar, para quedarse.

[Jay-Z]
Aham, aham ... Yeah, Rihanna
Aham, aham ... Good girl gone bad
Aham, aham ... Take three ... Action
Aham, aham ...

No clouds in my storms
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank [Eh, eh]
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone
We Rockafella [Eh, eh]
We fly higher than weather
And G5s are better,
You know me, an anticipation, for precipitation
Stacked chips for the rainy day [Eh, eh]
Jay, Rain Man is back
With little Ms. Sunshine, Rihanna where you at?

[Verse I]
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines, but you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark, you can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because ...

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took a note I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh ...

[Verse II]
These fancy things,
Will never come in between
You're part of my entity,
Here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has delt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because...

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took a note I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh ...

[Verse III]
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
Come into me
(There's no distance in between our love)
So gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because...

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took a note I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh ... Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh ...

[Verse IV]
It's raining (raining)
Ooh baby it's raining (raining)
Baby come into me, come into me
It's raining, raining
Ooh baby it's raining (raining)
You can always come into me, come into me
It's pouring rain ...
