Mis Temas Favoritos. La Lluvia.

Después de algún tiempo alejado del mundanal ruido, he decidido retomar el blog con alguna lista. Como gran enamorado de la música –entre otras ‘cosas’…–, me he dicho que, ¿por qué no alguna temática?, y, claro, no podía ser de otra forma: se impone abrir el asunto con La Lluvia.

Son muchísimos los temas que hablan de ella –o que la mencionan–, aunque os voy a relacionar alfabéticamente una docena de ellos que espero que os gusten… Foto, letra y vídeo…



Credence Clearwater Revival
Who'll Stop The Rain?


Long as I remember the rain been comin down.

Clouds of mystry pourin confusion on the ground.

Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun;

And I wonder, still I wonder, wholl stop the rain.


I went down virginia, seekin shelter from the storm.

Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.

Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.

And I wonder, still I wonder wholl stop the rain.


Heard the singers playin, how we cheered for more.

The crowd had rushed together, tryin to keep warm.

Still the rain kept pourin, fallin on my ears.

And I wonder, still I wonder wholl stop the rain.





Gene Kelly
Singin'In The Rain

I'm singing in the rain,

Just singin' in the rain.

What a glorious feeling,

I'm happy again.

I'm laughing at clouds,

So dark up above.

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase,

Everyone from the place.

Come on with the rain,

I've a smile on my face.

I walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin', singin' in the rain.


Dancing in the rain,

I'm happy again.

I'm singin' and dancing in the rain.



Gigliola Cinquetti
La Pioggia

Sul giornale ho letto che

Il tempo cambierà

Le nuvole son nere in cielo e

I passeri lassù

Non voleranno più.

Chissà perchè?

Io non cambio mai

No, non cambio mai!

Può cadere il mondo ma

Ma che importa a me?


La pioggia non bagna il nostro amore

Quando il cielo è blu.

La pioggia, la pioggia non esiste

Se mi guardi tu.

Butta via l'ombrello amor

Che non serve più

Non serve più, se ci sei tu.


Il termometro va giù

Il sole se ne va

L'inverno fa paura a tutti ma

C'è un fuoco dentro me

Che non si spegnerà.

Lo sai perchè?

Io non cambio mai

No, non cambio mai!

Può cadere il mondo ma

Ma che importa a me?


La pioggia non bagna il nostro amore

Quando il cielo è blu.

La pioggia, la pioggia non esiste

Se mi guardi tu.

Butta via l'ombrello amor

Che non serve più

Non serve più, se ci sei tu.

La pioggia, la pioggia non esiste

Se mi guardi tu.

Butta via l'ombrello amor

Che non serve più

La pioggia non bagna il nostro amore

Quando il cielo è blu

Il cielo è blu.



Led Zeppelin
The Rain Song

This is the springtime of my loving-

The second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing-

So little warmth Ive felt before.

It isnt hard to feel me glowing-

I watched the fire that grew so low.


It is the summer of my smiles-

Flee from me keepers of the gloom.

Speak to me only with your eyes

It is to you I give this tune.

Aint so hard to recognize-

These things are clear to all from

Time to time, ooooh...


Talk talk-

Ive felt the coldness of my winter

I never thought it would ever go

I cursed the gloom that set upon us...


But I know that I love you so

But I know that I love you so.


These are the seasons of emotion

And like the winds they rise and fall

This is the wonder of devotion-

I see the torch we all must hold.

This is the mystery of the quotient-

Upon us all a little rain

Must fall.

Just a little rain?

Ooooh, yeah yeah yeah!



Lena Horne
Stormy Weather

Don't know why,

There's no sun up in the sky.

Stormy weather.

Since my man and I ain't together,

Keeps rainin' all the time.


My life is bare,

Gloom and misery everywhere.

Stormy weather.

Just can't get my po' self together,

I'm weary all the time.

The time.


Since he went away,

The blues walked in and met me.

If he stays away,

Old rockin' chair'll get me.

All I do is pray,

That the Lord above will let me,

Walk in the sun once more.


Can't go on,

Everything I had is gone.

Stormy weather.

Since my man and I ain't together,

Keeps rainin' all the time.

The time.



All I do is pray,

That the Lord above will let me,

Walk in the sun once more.


Can't go on,

Everything I had is gone.

Stormy weather.

Since my man and I ain't together,

Keeps rainin' all the time.

Keeps rainin' all the time.



Peter Gabriel
Red Rain


Red rain is coming down,

red rain.

Red rain is pouring down,

pouring down all over me


I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream.

I cannot make a single sound as you scream.

It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch, hey!, we touch,

this place is so quiet, sensing that storm.


Red rain is coming down,

red rain.

Red rain is pouring down,

pouring down all over me.


Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town.

They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down.

There is no blood around see no sign of pain, hey!, no pain,

seeing no red at all, see no rain.


Red rain is coming down,

red rain.

Red rain is pouring down,

pouring down all over me.


(Red rain)

Putting the pressure on much harder now,

to return again and again,

just let the red rain splash you,

let the rain fall on your skin,

I come to you defences down,

with the trust of a child.


Red rain is coming down,

red rain.

Red rain is pouring down,

pouring down all over me.


And I can't watch any more,

no more denial,

it's so hard to lay down in all of this

red rain is coming down,

red rain is pouring down,

red rain is coming down all over me,

I see it,

red rain is coming down,

red rain is pouring down,

red rain is coming down all over me,

I'm bathing in it,

red rain coming down,

red rain is coming down,

red rain is coming down all over me,

I'm begging you,

red rain coming down,

red rain coming down,

red rain coming down,

red rain coming down,

over me in the red red sea,

over me,

over me,

red rain.



Sylvie Vartan
En Écoutant La Pluie

J'écoute en soupirant la pluie qui ruisselle,

Frappant doucement sur mes carreaux.

Comme des milliers de larmes qui me rappellent,

Que je suis seule en l'attendant.


Le seul garçon que j'aime n'a pas su comprendre,

Que lui seul comptait pour moi.

Et près de ma fenêtre, je reste à l'attendre,

En guettant le bruit de ses pas.


Pluie oh dis-lui de revenir un jour

Et qu'entre nous renaisse un grand amour.

Le passé ne sera plus qu'un triste souvenir.


Mais si après la pluie se montre le soleil

Et qu'il va rechauffer son cœur.

Il comprendra enfin combien je t'ai fidèle

Et il viendra sécher mes pleurs.


Comment lui dire que moi, je l'aime trop,

Qu'il me manque et que j'ai le coeur gros.

Et que pour moi l'amour sans lui ne compte pas,


J'écoute en soupirant la pluie qui ruisselle,

Frappant doucement sur mes carreaux.

Comme des milliers de larmes qui me rappellent.

Que j'étais seule en l'attendant.



The Beatles

Rain (If The Rain Comes)



If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.

They might as well be dead.

If the rain comes, if the rain comes.

When the sun shines they slip into the shade

(When the sun shines down.)

And sip their lemonade.

(When the sun shines down.)

When the sun shines, when the sun shines.

Rain, I don't mind.

Shine, the weather's fine.

I can show you that when it starts to rain,

(When the Rain comes down.)

Everything's the same.

(When the Rain comes down.)

I can show you, I can show you.

Rain, I don't mind.

Shine, the weather's fine.

Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,

(When it Rains and shines.)

It's just a state of mind?

(When it rains and shines.)

Can you hear me, can you hear me?

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.

The Carpenters
Rainy Days & Mondays
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old

Sometimes I'd like to quit

Nothing ever seems to fit

Hangin' around

Nothing to do but frown

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.


What I've got they used to call the blues

Nothin' is really wrong

Feelin' like I don't belong

Walkin' around

Some kind of lonely clown

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.


Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you

Nice to know somebody loves me

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do

Run and find the one who loves me.


What I feel has come and gone before

No need to talk it out

We know what it's all about

Hangin' around

Nothing to do but frown

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.



The Doors
Riders On The Storm

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Into this house were born

Into this world were thrown

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out on loan

Riders on the storm

Theres a killer on the road

His brain is squirmin like a toad

Take a long holiday

Let your children play

If ya give this man a ride

Sweet memory will die

Killer on the road, yeah


Girl ya gotta love your man

Girl ya gotta love your man

Take him by the hand

Make him understand

The world on you depends

Our life will never end

Gotta love your man, yeah

Wow!


Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Into this house were born

Into this world were thrown

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out alone

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm...

Tom Waits

Rain Dogs

Rain Dogs Inside a broken clock

splasjing the wine with all the Rain Dogs...

Taxi we'd rather walk

huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs...

For I am a Rain Dog too!

Oh how we danced and we swallowed the nights

for it was all ripe for dreaming

Oh how we danced away all of the lights

we've always been out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin

beat out the dustman with a Rain Dog...

Aboard a shipwreck train

give my umbrella to a Rain Dog...

For I am a Rain Dog too

Oh how we danced with the Rose of Tralee

her long hair black

as a raven

Oh how we danced and she wispered

to me

You'll never be goin back home!


Triana
Cae Fina La Lluvia
Cae fina la lluvia

por el camino y desesperado

para siempre me voy.

Yo no la siento

estoy fuera de todo

pero paso por paso me voy.


Llevo la mente en blanco

para bien o para mal

ya no siento nada

¡qué pena me da!


Cae el sol que da la vida

y camino sin andar

he encontrado una sonrisa

¿qué hacer? Me tengo que marchar.


Todo queda oscuro

no veo, no siento nada

un lejano canto me llama

¿qué hacer? Me tengo que marchar.
