Sagrado (II)

Siguiendo con la temática iniciada en el post anterior, en este caso me referiré a una letra de Ian Atsbury, cantante de The Cult. El cassetito que contenía este tema era un original del disco "Black Sheep" (también llamado "The Cult") que encontré por esas casualidades / causalidades (a gusto del consumidor) en mis épocas del Centro de Estudiantes Bahienses en La Plata. Aquí, en contrapartida (si se quiere) a la letra de You donde se idealiza todo en ese ser amado, se pregunta qué es lo sagrado, lo puro, si realmente eso existe, si la vida es algo valioso...

Sacred Life (Ian Atsbury)


"Abbie Hoffman was so young
Don't you know your king has gone?
Mmm, well well
River Phoenix was so young
Don't you know your prince has gone?

Hey, hey there sister
What is holy in your life?
Hey, hey brother
Sacred in your life?

Kurt Cobain was so young
Sad to see this poet's gone
Andrew Wood was so young
It's hard to feel this priest is gone

The heat is up
The heat is on
The heat is up
The heat is on
What you do is what you get
Don't be surprised by that effect, oh no

Hey, hey there sister
What is holy in your life?
Hey, hey there brother
What is sacred in your life?
Hey, hey there sister
What is holy?

Holy in your life
What is good?
What is pure?
Holy in your life
What is safe?
What is secure?
Holy in your time
Yeah, what is free?
What is me?
Holy in your mind
Sacred and secure
Do we need much more?

Hey, hey there sister
What is holy in your life?
Hey, hey there brother
Was is sacred in your life?
Hey, hey hey sister
What is holy, holy, holy in your life?
Hey there brother
What is safe?
What is secure and sacred in your life?
Well"
