Southern Cross - Crosby, Still, Nash & Young / SAU

En 1996 SAU saco a la venta el disco "SAU Basic". En casa lo compramos y fuimos escuchando... Años después me fijé en la cancion "Southern Cross" que tenia muy buen ritmo y evidentemente una muy buena voz (Pep Sala) en ingles. Y seria esta misma noche, hace escasos minutos que me he dado cuenta, al querer postear sobre ella, de que es una version de Crosby, Still & Nash, de la misma manera que versionaron "The cost of freedom" (pienso que no para mal) y en esta no tradujeron la letra.

Es una cancion muy bonita que como siempre voy a dejar que la escucheis y sigais.

Southern Cross - CSNY


Letra:

Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of waterline, nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten

I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship, and all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left, and music is her name

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten

I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will

So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested
Somebody fine will come along
Make me forget about loving you
At the Southern Cross
