Bonnie Tyler

El pasado 8 de julio falleció la cantante Bonnie Tyler, artista fundamental de finales de los 70 y toda la década de los 80 que interpretó algunos éxitos planetarios como Total Eclipse of the Heart, Holding Out for a Hero, It´s a Heartache o Islands, que compuso Mike Oldfield.

Su voz rota (muy trillado, sí, pero es verdad) y su energía dotaban a las canciones de una energía contundente. 

Descanse en paz  

 

 

 

 

 

Islands - King Crimson

La magia del Rey Carmesí

Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea

Waves sweep the sand from my island.

My sunsets fade.

Field and glade wait only for rain

Grain after grain love erodes my

High weathered walls which fend off the tide

Cradle the wind

To my island.

Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide

Mournfully glide o'er my island.

My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale,

Dissolves in the sun.

Love's web is spun, cats prowl, mice run

Wreathe snatch-hand briers where owls know my eyes

Violet skies

Touch my island,

Touch me.

Beneath the wind turned wave

Infinite peace

Islands join hands

'Neathe heaven's sea.

Dark harbor quays like fingers of stone

Hungrily reach from my island.

Clutch sailor's words, pearls and gourds

Are strewn on my shore.

Equal in love, bound in circles.

Earth, stream and tree return to the sea

Waves sweep sand from my island,

From me.
