The Waterboys
Mike Scott fundó en el año 1983 en Inglaterra el grupo musical The Waterboys. Banda de rock y folk celta, ante todo. Sus canciones están llenas de referencias literarias a magníficos escritores ingleses, como es el caso de C.S. Lewis o W. B. Yeats. No olvidemos que Scott estudió literatura y filosofía en la Universidad de Edimburgo.
La carrera de The Waterboys y Mike Scott en solitario siempre ha gozado de magníficas alabanzas por parte de la crítica especializada y cuenta con una legión de fieles seguidores. Son inolvidables discos como This is the sea, donde se incluye la excepcional The whole of the moon, Fisherman´s Blues, Room to roam…
Letras magníficas, arreglos cuidados y una voz personal definen el sonido de esta grandiosa banda. Sirva una muestra.
A MAN IS IN LOVE
A man is in love
how do I know ?
He came a walk with me
and he told me so
in a song he sang
and then I knew
A man is in love
with you
A man is in love
how did I hear ?
I heard him talk too much
whenever you're near
He whispered your name
when his eyes were closed
A man is in love
and he knows
A man is in love
how did I guess ?
I figured it out while he was
watching you dress
He'd give you his all
if you'd but agree
A man is in love
and he's me
Un hombre está enamorado,
que¿ cómo lo sé?
dimos un paseo,
y me lo dijo
en una canción que cantó,
y entonces supe que
un hombre está enamorado de ti
Un hombre está enamorado,
que ¿dónde lo he oído?
Le oí hablar demasiado
cuando tú estás cerca,
susurró tu nombre
con los ojos cerrados,
un hombre está enamorado,
y lo sabe.
Un hombre está enamorado,
que ¿cómo lo he imaginado?
Me di cuenta mientras él estaba
viendo cómo te vestías
Te lo daría todo,
si tú aceptaras...
Un hombre está enamorado,
y soy yo.
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL
She is so beautiful
I've got no words to describe
the way she makes me feel inside
I'm flying solo,
as free and as light as a bird
yet I'd lay my wings down in a moment
to guard and comfort her
She is so beautiful
light-filled, loving and wise,
laughter dancing in her eyes
All my road is before me
and I never did plan on a wife
yet she's the most beautiful soul
I ever have met in this life
For she is like a song
She is like a ray of light
She is like children praying
Like harps and bells and cymbals playing
and she is like a wind
moving, soothing, bringing joy
and here am I
destroyed
She is so beautiful
I don't know what I'm going to do when I leave
except grieve
A man is in love, and he's me.
