- 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.

Hey. Go.
Uh.

Bring
me down…Can't nothing.

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.
