JUEVES - LYRICS ("Born To Be Alive – Patrick Hernandez")

- Born To Be Alive – Patrick Hernandez
 
We were born to be alive.
We were born to be alive.
Born, born to be alive.
(Won't you be alive)
You see you were born,
born, born.
(Born to be alive)
 
People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
and settle down, down, down,
but I never wanted all those things.
People need to justify
their lives, lives, lives.
 
You see you were born,
born, born to be alive.
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born,
born, born.
(Born to be alive)
 
It's good to be alive,
to be alive,
to be alive. (x2)
 
It's good to be alive.
 
Time was on my side
when I was running down the street.
It was so fine, fine, fine,
a suitcase and an old guitar,
and something new to occupy
my mind, mind, mind.
 
You see you were born, born,
born to be alive.
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born,
born to be alive.
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born,
born to be alive.
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born.
(Born to be alive)
 
Born, born to be alive.
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born.
(Born to be alive)
 
Born, born to be alive.
 
- Notas: Otro clásico ejemplo de grupo o cantante que solo tuvo un éxito y luego despareció en el limbo. Esta canción anima al oyente a vivir la vida al máximo y buscar hacer lo que a uno le ilusiona, acallando las voces que intentan que te rindas y pases a sentar la cabeza.
En cierto modo refleja la actitud o vida del cantante que optó por buscar el éxito en algo que le gustaba en lugar de seguir el consejo de los que le animaban a buscar una vida más estable y rutinaria.
- 1. “…settle down…” = Si bien este phrasal se usa para hablar de grupos de pobladores que emigran de una zona y se asientan (“to settle down”) en otra, referida a individuos se usa para indicar el ponerse a vivir en un lugar en el que uno intenta echar raíces y llevar una vida normal.
