María, estoy de acuerdo con Héctor en lo de Sabina...
Esta es una canción que según he leido, compuso Pink Floyd en relación con el muro... aunque, como suele pasar con las letras y melodías, cada uno se las lleva a su terreno, las interpreta como quiere, o siente, y les puede dar la vuelta.
Y, aunque ésta no sea de The Wall, era éste un álbum y una escenografía que intentaba establecer un nuevo vínculo con el público, otro tipo de relación, menos visual, más trascendental, sentimental.
Un muro impone un límite, una partición que define como mínimo dos ámbitos, estableciendo una nueva relación entre ellos,del tipo que sea. Y las consecuencias de estar en uno u otro lado, de sentirse o no identificado, dentro o fuera, están definiendo nuevos aspectos y situaciones. Ante un muro que divide, ¿cúal es mi actitud? ¿Cómo me enriquece?
¿Y si sólo parece que divide, pero realmente no lo hace?
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitter residue slipped away...slipped away
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitter residue slipped away...slipped away
