La Mejor Canción De Todos Los Tiempos (2): "This Will Be Our Year", The Zombies

Del disco: Odessey & Oracle (1968)
Se puede bajar aquí


¡Éste va a ser nuestro año! Uno de los temas más bonitos de los Zombies, un pop hecho por nerds capaz de competir con cualquiera de las superestrellas de los 60. Aunque a primera vista parezcan ñoñas, sus canciones suelen tener un toque de amargura, o de salida de una situación horrible, siempre optimistas pero con un punto de autoengaño. Piano sencillo y una melodía preciosa y pegadiza, y encima aquí le ponen trompetas y cosas de soplar. ¡Os deseo mucho amor y una sobredosis de cursiladas y cosas bonitas para el 2007!


The warmth of your love's
Like the warmth from the sun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come...

Don't let go of my hand
Now the darkness has gone
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...

And I won't forget
The way you helped me up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said "darling, I love you"
You gave me faith to go on

Now we're there
And we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...

The warmth of your smile
Smile for me, little one
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come...

You don't have to worry
All your worried days are gone
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...

And I won't forget
The way you helped me up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said "darling, I love you"
You gave me faith to go on

Now we're there
We've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...

And this will be our year
Took a long time to come...
