Jolene

Ayer les puse un cuento dedicado a una amiga maravillosa. Es la clase de personas que me pone los pies sobre la tierra.
Hoy quiero posterar una hermosa referencia musical y espero hacerlo seguido. Empiezo recomendándoles esta rola que me trae fascinado. Un cover hecho por The White Stripes a la cantante estadounidense Dolly Parton: Jolene. La sola letra es de por si desgarradora, por lo que se las comparto y los invito a que escuchen la interpretación de Jack y Meg ¡Una maravilla!

Jolene

Jolene jolene jolene jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
jolene jolene jolene jolene
please don't take him even though you can
your beauty is beyond compare
with flaming locks of auburn hair
with ivory skin
and eyes of emerald green
your smile is like a breath of spring
and your voice is soft like a summer rain
and I cannot compete with you jolene
and he talks about you in his sleep
and there is nothing I can do to keep
from crying when he calls your name, jolene
jolene jolene jolene jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
jolene jolene jolene jolene
please don't take him even though you can
well I could easily understand
how you could easily take my man
but you don't know what he means to me jolene
well you could have your choice of men
but I could never love again
he's the only one for me jolene
and I had to have this talk with you
my happiness depends on you
and whatever you decide to do jolene
jolene jolene jolene jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
jolene jolene jolene jolene
please don't take him even though you can
