JUEVES - LYRICS ("Total Eclipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler")

- Total Eclipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit lonely

and you're never coming round.

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit tired

of listening to the sound of my tears.

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit nervous

that the best of all the years have gone by.

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

and then I see the look in your eyes.

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then I fall apart.

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then

I fall apart.

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit restless

and I dream of something wild.

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit helpless

and I'm lying like a child in your arms.

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit angry

and I know I've got to get out and cry.

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit terrified

but then I see the look in your eyes.

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then

I fall apart

turn around, bright eyes.

Every now and then

I fall apart.

And I need you now tonight.

And I need you more than ever.

And if you only hold me tight

we'll be holding on forever.

And we'll only be making it right

'cause we'll never be wrong.

Together we can take it to the end of the line.

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time. (all of the time)

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark.

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.

I really need you tonight.

Forever's gonna start tonight.

(Forever's gonna start tonight)

Once upon a time I was falling in love

but now I'm only falling apart.

There's nothing I can do.

A total eclipse of the heart.

Once upon a time there was light in my life

but now there's only love in the dark.

Nothing I can say.

A total eclipse of the heart.

(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then I fall apart.

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then I fall apart.

And I need you now tonight.

And I need you more than ever.

And if you only hold me tight

we'll be holding on forever.

And we'll only be making it right

'cause we'll never be wrong.

Together we can take it to the end of the line.

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time. (all of the time)

I don't know what to do

I'm always in the dark

living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.

I really need you tonight.

Forever's gonna start tonight.

(Forever's gonna start tonight)

Once upon a time I was falling in love

but now I'm only falling apart.

There's nothing I can do.

A total eclipse of the heart.

Once upon a time there was light in my life

but now there's only love in the dark.

Nothing I can say.

A total eclipse of the heart.

A total eclipse of the heart.

(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around)

- Notas: La canción está inspirada en la relación entre Catherine y Heathcliff en la novela “Wuthering Heights” (“Cumbres borrascosas”) de Emily Brontë, relación apasionada pero tóxica y destructiva. En la canción la cantante se debate entre haber encontrado al amor de su vida y el pensamiento de que él pueda abandonarle. Cuando están juntos su relación es explosiva pero con la distancia la cantante se ve sumida en tinieblas y temores. La canción en sí está escrita en un momento de ese miedo a perderlo.

- 1. “…powder keg …” = El “powder” es la pólvora que se usa en petardos y armas de fuego, y los “keg” son los barriles en los que se solía guardar en los barcos pirata y de guerra de esa época. En la canción se usa como metáfora de lo explosivo de la relación entre ellos que es como estar sentado sobre un barril de pólvora mientras saltan chispas alrededor.
- 2. “…falling apart …” = Este phrasal se usa para hablar de desmoronarse, especialmente cuando se habla de la vida de uno.
