Viaje a la Luna con Smashing Pumpkins

En una semana donde el bombardeo de información sobre el viaje del Apolo XI a la Luna va a ser masivo, he querido sumarme a la celebración con algunas pequeñas curiosidades. La primera consiste en presentarte el primer film sobre el tema (la friolera de 67 años antes del viaje real), "Le voyage dans la lune" (1902) del prolífico Georges Méliès:



Después de ver esta gozada te presento el homenaje que hizo el grupo Smashing Pumpkins a dicho film, utilizando como base el tema "Tonight, Tonight":




Cuya letra original es:

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That youre not stuck in vain
Were not the same, were different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

And you know youre never sure
But youre sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe theres not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

Well crucify the insincere tonight
Well make things right, well feel it all tonight
Well find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

Y su pobre traducción al castellano:

Tiempo no es tiempo en absoluto
Nunca puedes irte sin dejar un pedazo de juventud
Y nuestras vidas han cambiado para siempre
Nunca seremos los mismos
Mientras más cambias menos sientes

Cree en mi, cree en mi, cree
Que la vida puede cambiar,
Que tu no estás estancado sin esperanza
No somos los mismos, somos diferentes esta noche
Esta noche, tan brillante
Esta noche

Y tu sabes que nunca has estado seguro
pero estás seguro de que podrías tener la razón
Si te aferras tu mismo a la luz
Y las chispas nunca desaparecen en tu ciudad junto al lago
El lugar donde naciste

Cree, cree en mi, cree
En la resuelta urgencia del ahora
Y si crees no habrá ocasión esta noche
Esta noche, tan brillante
Esta noche

Crucificaremos al hipócrita esta noche
Haremos las cosas bien, lo sentiremos todo esta noche
Si te sometes a la noche esta noche
Los indescriptibles momentos de tu vida esta noche
Lo imposible es posible esta noche
Cree en mi como yo creo en ti, esta noche

Por cierto, por si te pica la curiosidad, "yo sí creo que el hombre ha llegado a la Luna".

  1. Buenas, acabo de conseguir conectarme a internet y para celebrar este tiempo de adviento voy a cantar una maravillosa cancion.

    "Ain't No Chuchi High Enough"
    de Marvin Gaye y Tammi Terrell.

    Listen, Chuchi
    Ain't no Chuchi high
    Ain't no Chuchi low
    Ain't no Chuchi wide enough, Chuchi

    If you need me, call me
    No matter where you are
    No matter how far
    Just call my name
    I'll be there in a Chuchi
    You don't have to worry

    Cause Chuchi,
    There ain't no Chuchi high enough
    Ain't no Chuchi low enough
    Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
    To keep me from getting to you

    Remember the Chuchi
    I set you free
    I told you
    You could always count on Chuchi
    From that day on I made a vow
    I'll be there when you want me
    Some way, some how

    Cause Chuchi,
    There ain't no Chuchi high enough
    Ain't no Chuchi low enough
    Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
    To keep me from getting to you

    Oh Chuchi, no wind, no rain
    No winters cold can't stop Chuchi
    No, no Chuchi, cause you are my informatic teacher
    If you ever in trouble,
    I'll be there on the double
    Just send for me, oh Chuchi

    My Chuchi is alive
    Way down in my heart
    Although we are miles apart
    If you ever need a helping hand
    I'll be there on the double
    As fast as I can

    Don't you know that
    There ain't no Chuchi high enough
    Ain't no Chuchi low enough
    Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
    To keep me from getting to you

    Don't you know that
    There ain't no Chuchi high enough
    Ain't no Chuchi low enough
    Ain't no Chuchi wide enough
    To keep me from getting to you





    "Chuchi" de Chuchik and the Dominos

    What will you do when you get lonely
    and nobody´s waiting by your side?
    You've been running and hiding much too long.
    You know it's just your foolish pride.

    Chuchi!.
    You've got me on my knees, Chuchi
    Begging darling please,Chuchi.
    Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

    Tried to give you Chuchi.
    When your old man, he let you down.
    But like a fool, I fell in love with you.
    You turned my whole world upside down.

    Chuchi.
    You've got me on my knees, Chuchi.
    Begging darling please, Chuchi.
    Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

    Make the best of the situation
    Before I finally go insane
    Please don't say we'll never find a way
    Or tell me all my 9 in Chuchi

    Chuchi.
    You've got me on my knees, Chuchi.
    Begging darling please, Chuchi.
    Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
