Here I go egain


Acabo de ver con mis hijos, a ellos les dedico esta entrada, por segunda vez la película The Fighter con la que Christian Bale y Melissa Leo ganaron  sendos  Oscars al Mejor Actor y a la Mejor Actriz de Reparto en 2011.

Esta canción aparece en un momento de la película que me encanta cuando Micky Ward vuelve a boxear con el apoyo de toda su gente, sabiendo que vuelve fuerte a lo que sabe hacer y detrás anda su hermano cantándola mientras se oye en la megafonía.

 

Originalmente, “HERE I GO EGAIN” de Whitesnake, fue publicada en su álbum de 1982, Saints  & Sinners, siendo posteriormente regrabada para su álbum homónimo de 1987.

El sencillo fue re-grabado por tercera y última vez en 1988 en una nueva "versión para radio", significativamente más corto. La edición de 1987 alcanzó el número uno en el Billboard Hot 100, el 10 de octubre de 1987 y el número nueve en el UK Singles Chart el 28 de noviembre de 1987. También alcanzó el número uno en la lista de sencillos de Canadá, el 24 de octubre de 1987.

En 2006, la versión de 1987 fue nombrada como la 17ª mejor canción de la década de 1980 por VH1.

I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.

Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Just another heart in need of rescue
waiting on love's sweet charity
an' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go,
here I go again

Welcome to the Jungle


 Welcome to the Jungle (VÍDEO SUBTITULADO AQUÍ)es una canción de hard rock del grupo Guns N' Roses, lanzada el 3 de octubre de 1987. Es el segundo single del disco Appetite for Destruction. Quizá uno de los más famosos y conocidos estándares del rock de finales de los 80 y comienzos de los 90. Está en la posición número 7 del Billboard Hot 100 y en el número 1 en "Las 100 Grandiosas Canciones del Hard Rock", ranking realizado por la cadena de televisión VH1.
Por lo visto para escribir la letra se inspiró en un encuentro que tuvo con un vagabundo mientras caminaba por la ciudad de Los Ángeles, el hombre después de asaltarlo le gritó: «You know where you are?, you're in the jungle baby, you gonna die!» Dicho incidente causó un gran impacto en Axl. Este tema se convirtió en uno de los más representativos de la historia del rock & roll.

Welcome to the jungle!

We've got fun 'n games
We got everything you want
Hard, we know all the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease

CHORUS:

In the jungle
Welcome to the Jungle
Watch it break it to your
shana na na na na na
knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay
And you a very sexy girl
Thats very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my, serpentine
Wow, I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn to live liea an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me

CHOURUS

And when you're high you never
Or ever want to come down, YEAH!

You know where you are?
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
sha na na na na na na na
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my, serpentine
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
sha na na na na na
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
In the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
It's gonna bring you down-HA!

Marry you


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uLDneG8XJg

Marry you es una canción de Bruno Mars:



It's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go,
No one will know,
Come on girl.
Who cares if we're trashed got a pocket full of
cash we can blow,
Shots of patron,
And it's on girl.

Don't say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we'll go, go, go, go-go.
If you're ready, like I'm ready.

Cause it's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh,
So whatcha wanna do?
Let's just run girl.

If we wake up and you wanna break up that's cool.
No, I won't blame you;
It was fun girl.

Don't say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we'll go, go, go, go-go.
If you're ready, like I'm ready.

Cause it's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Just say I do,
Tell me right now baby,
Tell me right now baby. [x2]

Cause it's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
