"The Unforgettable Fire" - U2 (live Paris, 1987)


Ice.
Your only rivers run cold,
These city lights,
They shine as silver and gold,
Dug from the night.
Your eyes as black as coal.

Walk on by, walk on through,
Walk till you run.
And dont look back.
For here, I am.
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol.
Red wine that punctures the skin.
Face to face in a dry and waterless place.
Walk on by, walk on through
So sad to beseige your love so,
Head on, stay this time.
Stay tonight, in a lie.
Im only asking but I think that you know.
Come on take me away.
Come on take me away.
Come on take me home.
Home again.

And if the mountain should crumble,
Or disappear into the sea.
Not a tear, no not I stay in this time.
Stay tonight in a light.
Ever after, this love in time.
And if you save it all, save you love.
Dont push me too far tonight.


Del álbum "The Unforgettable Fire" (1985)

*******

Esta es una de las canciones de U2 que más me mueven fibras. No tiene una gran letra aunque en algún momento podría ser hasta críptica. Sin embargo, siempre logra colarse en mi mente y durante dias y días puedo tararearla.

He preferido subir el video surgido de uno de los conciertos de aquel mítico "The Joshua Tree Tour". Aún puede notarse la fuerza y la entrega absoluta que este cuarteto irlandés exudaban a finales de los '80, algo que ciertamente perdieron en los '90.
