Jesus to a Child - George Michael
Kindness in your eyes.
I guess you heard me cry.
You smiled at me
like Jesus to a child.
I'm blessed I know,
heaven sent and heaven stole.
You smiled at me like
Jesus to a child.
And what have I learned
from all this pain
I thought I'd never feel the same
about anyone or anything again,
but I still say…
When you find a love,
when you know that it exists,
Then the lover that you miss
will come to you on those cold, cold nights.
When you've been loved.
When you know it holds such bliss
then the lover that you kissed
will comfort you when there's no hope in sight.
So the words you could not say
I'll sing them for you,
and the love we would have made
I'll make it for two.
For every single memory
has become a part of me.
You will always be... my love.
Well I've been loved,
so I know just what love is,
and the lover that I kissed is always by my side.
Oh the lover I still miss... was Jesus to a child.
- Notas: Cuando
Georges Michael compuso esta canción aun no había reconocido abiertamente su
homosexualidad, por lo que tuvo que camuflar el tema principal de la canción
(una especie de tributo a su amante Anselmo Feleppa, fallecido tres años antes)
con una especie de amor abstracto dirigido hacia alguien de quien no se indica
sexo.
- 1. “…blessed…” = En
contextos religiosos, "to bless" es lanzarle a alguien una bendición
para que su vida sea más feliz. En la canción toma el sentido de ser afortunado
o tener la suerte de que le suceda algo positivo.
- 2. “…heaven sent and heaven
stole…” = Sería
un equivalente de nuestro "lo que el Señor nos dio, el Señor nos lo
quito", que el cantante usa para indicar que esa persona a la que quería
fue un regalo del cielo y ese mismo destino divino fue el que decidió
separarles con la muerte.
- 3. “…bliss…” = Se
trata de un estado de felicidad absoluta que nos hace sentir que estamos en la
gloria, o en las nubes si preferimos un lenguaje más laico.
