- Let’s Dance – David
Bowie
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Let's dance) Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
(Let's dance) to the song they're playing on the radio,
(Let's sway) while colour lights up your face
(Let's sway) sway through the crowd to an empty space.
If you say run, I'll run with you,
and if you say hide, we'll hide
because my love for you would break my heart in two
if you should fall, into my arms and tremble like a flower.
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance) For fear your grace should fall.
(Let's dance) For fear tonight is all.
(Let's sway) You could look into my eyes
(Let's sway) under the moonlight, this serious moonlight.
And if you say run, I'll run with you,
and if you say hide, we'll hide
because my love for you would break my heart in two
if you should fall, into my arms and tremble like a flower.
(Let's dance) Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
(Let's sway) under the moonlight, this serious moonlight.
(Let's dance) (x2)
- Notas: Si bien, a primera vista, parece tratarse de una simple canción que
invita al baile, este baile es una metáfora de la vida. Así, el “baile” del que
se habla es el fingir ser feliz cuando en la realidad uno se siente infeliz por
la vida que lleva. Por eso habla de los “red shoes” que se contrapondrían a los
“blue shoes”, en el que “blue” hace referencia al color de la tristeza o
depresión. Es por tanto una invitación a fingir que se es feliz.
- 1. “…sway
…” = Como alternativa al “dance” el cantante opta por “sway”, que se usa para
hablar de “balancearse”, que en este caso se refiere a un balanceo melodioso
como si fuera un baile.
