Dela

Dicen que las cosas no son porque sí, que tienen un sí. Llegan a nosotros por alguna razón, sea lógica o irracional. Cuando son de la nada misma y encontramos luego un si lógico (o creíble) es cuando (y porque) lo fantástico convive con nosotros.

Emocionarse con una canción es el común de estos posteos, sentir la piel que se convierte en pollo y reír o llorar según el ánimo con el que andamos. La música, entre otras muchas cosas, tiene esta mística, esta magia. Es eso fantástico que digo que se halla en medio de nuestra locura diaria.

En algún lado leí que DELA significa "esperanza" en el idioma zulú.

"I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle", Te he estado buscando toda mi vida deseando un milagro, sería una traducción digna y propia.

¿Debo aclarar porque posteo este tema?



DELA - Jhonny Clegg

One day I looked up and there you were,
like a simple question looking for an answer.
Now I am the whale listening to some inner call,
swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore.

What if I don't find you when I have landed?
Will you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you,
dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you.

I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle,
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption,
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.

A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart,
the image of your face comes to me when I am alone in the dark.
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you,
If I could find the voice that says the words to capture you.

I think I know, I think I know, I think I know,
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you,
dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you.

I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle,
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption,

I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
Sondela, sondela, mama sondela, I burn for you.
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle,
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.

I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption,
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
