Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree

Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
You don't want to do what your mother has done
She has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day

Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, now know you are nobody's slave

Find your sisters and brothers who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree

Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel

You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong
Nothing wrong at all
We're gonna to break it down
We have to shake it down
Shake it all around

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree

(Shaking the Tree - Peter Gabriel)

Mediabanda

Fulano siempre fué mi grupo chileno favorito. Y es que por allá en el 90 nunca antes había escuchado música como "Sentimental Blues" o "Adolfo y Benito, Augusto y Toribio", simplemente únicos. Bueno, al momento de llegar a Barcelona, en el 2005, me dí a la tarea de saber qué pasaba con ellos y fué así como me encontré con el proyecto de Cristián Crisosto y Arlette Jequier, Mediabanda. Un proyecto que los reúne con montón de muchachos jóvenes, incluídos algunos de los hijos de este matrimonio, y en el se reconoce muy bien la semilla Fulano, pero ahora con más variedad y riqueza musical (con cumbias y reaggae incluídos). Es que es la "MEDIA" banda. Ya lo verán en el video.


Bueno, de pajarón y por no seguirles la pista, me perdí el recital que dieron acá en Barcelona durante mediados del 2007. Seré gueón? Espero verlos algún día.
Respecto de Fulano, entiendo que aún existen como grupo y que la última vez que se presentaron en vivo fué en el 2002.

Rehab

Hasta hace dos días no había escuchado nada de Amy Winehouse y, obviamente, mi curiosidad despertó con todos los premios que ganó en la última entrega de los Grammy. Esta canción fué la premiada como mejor canción del 2007. Buenísima, simplemente buenísima. Aún no escucho a conciencia sus dos álbumes, pero prometen.

They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He’s tried to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.

I’d rather be at home with ray
I ain’t got 70 days
Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

Didn’t get a lot in class
But I know it don’t come in a shot glass

They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I aint got the time,
And if my Daddy thinks im fine,
He’s tried to make me go to rehab,
I wont go, go, go.

The man said, why you think you here?
I said, I got no idea
Im gonna, im gonna loose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near

Said, I just think you’re depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby
And go rest

I’m tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know

I don’t ever wanna drink again
I just, ooo, I just need a friend
Im not gonna spend 10 weeks
Have everyone think im on the mend

It’s not just my pride
It’s just til these tears have dried

They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back,
You wont know, know, know

I aint got the time,
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He’s trying to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.
