Bonnie Raitt - I can't make you love me / Nick of time

Ya que le dedicamos a Lenka canciones cuando la cosa le iba como le iba, justo es completar la historia. Así estaba:



Turn down the lights, turn down the bed,
turn down these voices inside my head.
Lay down with me, tell me no lies.
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me.

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Here in the dark, in these small hours,
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power.
You won't, no you won't,
'cause I can't make you love me if you don't.

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
the love you don't feel when you're holding me.
Morning will come and I'll do what's right:
just give me till then to give up this fight.
Then I will give up this fight,
'cause I can't make you love me if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Here in the dark, in these small hours,
I will lay down and I'll feel the power,
but you won't.

I can't make you love me, if you don't.

Y así está (más o menos) :



A friend of mine, she cries at night, and she calls me on the phone.
Sees babies everywhere she goes, and she wants one of her own.
She's waited long enough, she says, and still she can't decide.
Pretty soon she'll have to choose, and it tears her up inside.
She's scared.
Scared she'll run out of time.

I see my folks, they're getting old, and I watch their bodies change.
I know they see the same in me, and it makes us both feel strange.
No matter how you tell yourself: 'it's what we all go through',
those eyes are pretty hard to take when they're staring back at you.
Scared you'll run out of time.

When did the choices get so hard?
With so much more at stake.
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
Hummmm...
Scared to run out of time.

Just when I thought I'd had enough and all my tears were shed,
no promise left unbroken, there were no painful words unsaid,
you came along and showed me how to leave it all behind.
You opened up my heart again, and then, much to my surprise,
I found love. Love in the nick of time.
I found love, darling. Love in the nick of time.
I found love, baby. Love in the nick of time.

Hola de nuevo,

Me encanta "I can't make you love me", aunque la que yo conozco es la de George Michael. Preciosa, realmente preciosa.

Voy a seguir navegando por tu blog. :-)
