"I will survive"

Viendo el nuevo anuncio de Cruzcampo, ", diseñado por Bassat Ogilvy Barcelona, en el que utilizan una versión del "I will survive" éxito encumbrado por Gloria Gaynor me recordó a Tim, mi profesor de inglés de un curso de verano en Brighton. Su canción favorita era esta. Tim es un ser extraordinario, es de esas personas que creen en lo que hacen y lo transmiten con gran pasión. Me encantaban sus clases, sus comentarios y el "I will survive" que nos ponía cada lunes para inyectarnos de moral para afrontar la nueva semana. Echo de menos Monday morning y la canción que sonaba a ritmo de timbre:

At first, I was afraid,

I was petrified.

kept thinking

I could never live

without you by my side.

But then I spent so many nights

Just thinking how you'd done me wrong.

And I grew strong.

I learned how to get along.

So, now you're back

From outer space.

I just walked in to find you here

Without that look upon your face.

I should have changed my f---ing lock.

I would have made you leave your key,

If I had known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me.

Oh, now go,

Walk out the door.

Just turn around.

Now, you're not welcome anymore.

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did 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'll be alive.

I've got all my life to live.

I've got all my love to give.

I will survive.

I will survive.

Yeah, yeah.

It took all the strength I had

Just not to fall apart.

I'm trying hard to mend the pieces

Of my broken heart.

And I spent so many nights

Just feeling sorry for myself.

I used to cry.

But now, I hold my head up high.

And you see me

With somebody new.

I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you.

And so, you thought you'd just drop by

And you expect me to be free.

But now I'm saving all my love

For someone who's loving me.

Oh, now go,

Walk out the door.

Just turn around.

Now, you're not welcome anymore.

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did 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'll be alive.

I've got all my life to live.

I've got all my love to give.

I will survive.

I will survive.

Yeah, yeah.

Dedicado a mi English Teacher, Tim que ha conseguido que el "I will survive" sea una de esas canciones que no me canso de escuchar junto a "Bohemian Rhasodiam" de Queen y " Losing my religion" de R.E.M. por los inesperados cambios de ritmo de cada una de ellas.
