JUEVES - LYRICS ("Pure – The Lightning Seeds")

- Pure – The Lightning Seeds
 
Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows.
Perhaps someone you know could sparkle and shine.
As the daydreams slide to color from shadow,
picture the moon glow that dazzles my eyes
and I love you.
 
Just lying, smiling in the dark,
shooting stars around your heart,
dreams come bouncing in your head,
pure and simple every time.
 
Now you're crying in your sleep.
I wish you'd never learned to weep.
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time.
 
Dream of sights of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons can make you decide,
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens,
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and I love you.
 
Just lying, smiling in the dark,
shooting stars around your heart,
dreams come bouncing in your head,
pure and simple every time.
 
Now you're crying in your sleep.
I wish you'd never learned to weep.
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time.
 
Look at me with starry eyes,
push me up to starry skies.
There's stardust in my head
pure and simple every time.
 
Fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you.
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you.
 
If love's the truth, then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes.
I've found a place I'll never leave.
Shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth, I realize
not a stream of pretty lies
to use us up and waste our time.
 
Just lying, smiling in the dark,
shooting stars around your heart,
dreams come bouncing in your head,
pure and simple every time.
 
Now you're crying in your sleep.
I wish you'd never learned to weep.
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time.
 
Look at me with starry eyes,
push me up to starry skies.
There's stardust in my head
pure and simple every time.
 
Fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you.
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you,
pure and simple just for you.
 
- Notas: Es una canción que trata sobre el amor, la esperanza y la belleza de vivir, aunque uno se encuentre sumido en el caos o esté atravesando un mal momento. En la canción se nos pide que abramos los ojos a la belleza del mundo y la vida. El autor, Ian Broudie, la compuso en un periodo turbulento de su vida, y es en cierto modo, un anhelo esperanzado por encontrar la luz al final del túnel.
- 1. “…dazzles…” = Aplicado a la luz se usa para indicar “deslumbrar”, como le sucede al cantante con el brillo de la luna.
- 2. “…weep…” = Se usa para hablar de “llorar”, pero es un término anticuado que solo se ve en ambientes literarios.
- 3. “…sleigh…” = Un “sleigh” es un trineo de los que usan para la nieve.
- 4. “…shiver…” = Se usa para hablar de temblar o tiritar, que puede suceder tanto por el frio como por el miedo.

MIÉRCOLES - PHRASAL VERBS ("To swell up”)

- "To swell up" ... (“Hincharse")

Pronunciación: /tuː swɛl ʌp/

“Swell” es un término polivalente, que sirve tanto como interjección para indicar que algo nos parece fenomenal, como para referirse al oleaje del mar. El punto está es que estas cosas no tienen nada en común, del mismo modo que no tienen nada que ver con el significado del verbo.

“To swell up” se usa principalmente en contextos médicos, para indicar que una parte del cuerpo presenta una protuberancia anormal, del tipo hinchazón, tanto si es en la pierna porque te ha picado una calandraca de Albacete, como en las encías (“gums”) si te ha salido un flemón (“gumboil”) más grande que la república de San Marino.

Es el tipo de problema médico que suele solucionarse con descanso, no ir a trabajar y quedarse en casa viendo la tele, tomando sopa y un antiinflamatorio (“anti-inflammatory”) cada 6 u 8 horas.

Ejemplo de uso: “My hands swelled up without any clear reason.” (“Mis manos se hincharon sin ninguna razón clara.”)
