Esta noche me voy a ver el concierto de la gira de despedida de Paloma San Basilio en el Teatro Principal de Alicante, con la princesa de mis sueños (no confundir con mi princesita) y mis señores suegros.
Para nosotros será algo especial, pues su voz nos ha acompañado durante muchos años, en muchos momentos buenos (y en alguno malo también).
Me gustaría aprovechar para compartir con vosotros una de sus canciones, para mi particularmente especial por lo que dice, y dedicársela al amor de mi vida, que lleva ya más de 20 años aguantándome.
Gracias a ti.
Esta es una versión de WIND BENEATH MY WINGS, tema principal de la película ETERNAMENTE AMIGAS, interpretado por Bette Midler.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
¡¡¡OJO SPOILER!!! El que no haya visto esta preciosa peli, que se salte el siguiente vídeo. No me resisto a poner la escena en la que aparece la canción en la película, de esas que te ponen un nudo en la garganta, pero que, repito, cuenta el final de la historia. Vosotros mismos.
Y para que terminemos todos de llorar como se merece (yo lo he hecho a base de bien, sobretodo desde el minuto 5 del vídeo), la reciente sorpresa que le dio por teléfono Bette Midler a una fan gravemente enferma de cáncer. Pañuelos a mano.
