Father & Son


Hoy recordamos una de esas canciones que marcan una época y se convierten en leyenda, que forman parte de algunas personas y adquieren todo el sentido en cada una de sus notas, inflexiones y letras.
Father & Son fue llevada al éxito por Cat Stevens, una de las voces más interesantes y con capacidad de expresión y transmitir sentimientos que ha dado la música. Sus registros vocales dejaron grabados para siempre joyas musicales como Father & Son.
Es una canción de profundo contenido y gran significado personal para mí, que me permito compartir con todos, con quienes ya la conocen y quieren recordarla, y con quienes podrán descubrirla ahora. Una balada acústica que cobra fuerza frase a frase.
Además de la versión original de Cat Stevens, os dejo otro vídeo con la maravillosa versión que hizo Rod Stewart, impecable, sentida y con la fuerza de una interpretación magistral. Una versión que me descubrieron por sorpresa y de la forma más grata. Esta canción va dedicada a esa persona para la que significa tanto y para la que cobra tanto sentido cuando suena, para quien la siente en el corazón.
Porque siempre merece la pena recuperar lo auténtico y lo bueno en esta vida, aquí tenemos para deleitarnos y emocionarnos una vez más la extraordinaria Father & Son.

Rod Stewart:

Lyrics:
Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son– away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone – no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father– stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
