Sobreviviré.
Quién no ha oido esa canción? De hecho es una pieza obligada en cualquier fiesta: bautizo, XV años o boda...
Y aún cuando muchas han sido las que la han interpretado, mi favorita es la original, la cantada por Gloria Gaynor.
Si, ya se que esta canción ha sido tomada como himno de la comunidad gay, debido a que, como dice la misma Gaynor:
"esto es debido a que es una canción de desamor y superación personal ante circunstancias adversas. Trata de una persona que, pese a haber sido abandonada y haber sufrido, es capaz de levantarse y sobrevivir, algo que habría calado hondo en la sensibilidad de la comunidad homosexual".Y aún cuando yo no soy gay, me encanta la canción, no sólo por el ritmo sino también por la letra, y por eso, hoy dejo este espacio como un pequeño tributo, a todas aquellas personas que se han caído pero han tenido el valor de seguir luchando.
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me.
