JUEVES - LYRICS ("Happy – Pharrell Williams")

- Happy – Pharrell Williams

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say.

Sunshine she's here, you can take a break.

I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space

with the air, like I don't care baby by the way.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do.

Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah.

Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back, yeah.

Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine, yeah.

No offense to you, don't waste your time.

Here's why…

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do.

Hey. Go. Uh.

(Happy)

Bring me down…Can't nothing.

Bring me down… My level's too high.

Bring me down…Can't nothing.

Bring me down…I said (let me tell you now).

Bring me down…Can't nothing.

Bring me down…My level's too high.

Bring me down…Can't nothing.

Bring me down…I said…

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do.

Bring me down... can't nothing...

Bring me down... my level's too high...

Bring me down... can't nothing...

Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you.

Because I'm happy.

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do.

- Notas:

La canción no es complicada, y hasta tiene su gracia, pero una página web cumplió la amenaza e hizo una versión “larga” de 24 horas de duración. El autor fue condenado a pena de muerte por “crueldad y ensañamiento” contra la gente que cometió el error de escucharla completa.

- 1. “What I’m about to say” = La construcción “to be about to + verbo” se usa para indicar que uno estaba a punto de iniciar la acción indicada en el verbo principal, en este caso “lo que estoy a punto de decir”.

- 2. “Clap along” = Es una construcción que se ve muy raramente, “verbo + along”. En el diccionario no la vamos a encontrar. Al añadirle “along” a un verbo lo que queremos decir es que esa acción se va a hacer de modo continuado y no puntual, en este caso “seguir aplaudiendo” o “aplaudir mientras se recorre el camino”.

- 3. “… hold it back …” = Otro phrasal verb muy usado en inglés es “to hold back” con el sentido de “retener, contener”, es decir, sujetar algo o tenerlo controlado para que no se escape.

- 4. “Bring me down” = “To bring down” es un phrasal verb que se usa principalmente con el sentido de “tirar abajo” una construcción, muro, etc. En sentido figurado y referido a la gente (como en este caso) significa “echar abajo la moral de alguien” o más exactamente “deprimir” o como en este caso “intentar deprimir”.

- 5. “… wanna …” = Mi viejo amigo que aparece en muchas canciones, “wanna” no es lo que decían los indígenas en las películas de safaris “si wanna, no wanna” cuando hablaban con el hombre blanco, sino que es una forma coloquial de decir “want to”. Se ve mucho en canciones pero poco en el lenguaje oral de calle.
