Across the universe

En el post anterior recibí un lindo comentario (gracias Azul es lejos !) con una serie de recomendaciones de versiones de Los Beatles. Este tema ya lo tenía casi pronto y en ese comentario agregó alguna versión más. Siempre es lindo recibir sus aportes, me permiten conocer cosas nuevas y compartirlas con todos los visitantes. No dejen de comentar y sugerir. Las entradas no son estáticas, se van agregando nuevas versiones que aparecen por aquí y por allá.

Video de la peícula Across the Universe:

Letra:

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,

Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,

That call me on and on across the universe,

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they

Tumble blindly as they make their way

Across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing

Through my open views inviting and inciting me

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a

million suns, it calls me on and on

Across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

 

Hallelujah

Letra original:

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care

for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah…

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her

She tied you

To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne,

and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah…

You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light

In every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah…

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though It all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah…
