La Canción del Mes: "The Logical Song" - Supertramp

Supongo que llega un momento en que no es difícil sentirse identificado con ésta canción. Yo, al menos, me siento así. Y mucho me temo que durante mucho tiempo muchos nos sentiremos identificados con la letra que nos deja. Menos mal que se acabó Noviembre.

Aquí os dejo con The Logical Song, uno de los mejores temas de Supertramp, quizá una de las más representativas de su recorrido musical. Leed la letra con atención.

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world’s asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won’t you sign up your name; we’d like to feel you’re
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world’s asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
