CANCIONES DESÉRTICAS 1

La primera canción que voy a presentar se llama "A horse with no name", America. El grupo estadounidense escribió esta canción en los años 70 y, junto a "Sister Golden Hear", llegaron a los más alto de las listas de éxitos. Esta canción habla del tránsito de un hombre en el desierto, explicando los síntomas que vive cada día. En las últimas estrofas de la canción, hablan de un desierto marino y de un desierto urbano que, sin estar técnicamente desierto, ellos lo sienten de esta manera. A continuación os dejo el enlace:

Y aquí os copio la letra:
"On the first part of the journey 
i was looking at all the life 
there were plants and birds and rocks and things 
there was sand and hills and rings 
the first thing i met was a fly with a buzz 
and the sky with no clouds 
the heat was hot and the ground was dry 
but the air was full of sound 
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
it felt good to be out of the rain 
in the desert you can remember your name 
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
la, la ... 
After two days in the desert sun 
my skin began to turn red 
after three days in the desert fun 
i was looking at a river bed 
and the story it told of a river that flowed 
made me sad to think it was dead 
You see i've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
it felt good to be out of the rain 
in the desert you can remember your name 
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
la, la ... 
After nine days i let the horse run free 
'cause the desert had turned to sea 
there were plants and birds and rocks and things 
there was sand and hills and rings 
the ocean is a desert with it's life underground 
and a perfect disguise above 
under the cities lies a heart made of ground 
but the humans will give no love 
You see i've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
it felt good to be out of the rain 
in the desert you can remember your name 
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
la, la ..."
