He vuelto a leerlo, un año y algo después. He vuelto a disfrutarlo, quizás si cabe, más. No sé por qué no lo referencié en su día, Segovia, primavera, 2023. Dejo una canción que cierra la deliciosa, exquisita historia.
Aquí hay un extracto y unos cuantos comentarios acertados.
When you're alone, and life is making you lonelyYou can always goDowntownWhen you've got worries, all the noise and the hurrySeems to help, I knowDowntownJust listen to the music of the traffic in the cityLinger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are prettyHow can you lose?
The lights are much brighter thereYou can forget all your troubles, forget all your caresSo go downtown, things'll be great when you'reDowntown, no finer place for sureDowntown everything's waiting for you
Downtown, downtown
Don't hang around and let your problems surround youThere are movie showsDowntownMaybe you know some little places to go toWhere they never closeDowntownJust listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa novaYou'll be dancing with him too before the night is overHappy again
The lights are much brighter thereYou can forget all your troubles, forget all your caresSo go downtown, where all the lights are brightDowntown, waiting for you tonightDowntown, you're gonna be alright now
Downtown, downtownDowntown
DowntownAnd you may find somebody kind to help and understand youSomeone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand toGuide them along
So maybe I'll see you thereWe can forget all our troubles, forget all our caresSo go downtown, things'll be great when you'reDowntown, don't wait a minute moreDowntown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtownDowntown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
