Young FolkskolF gnuoY

Perspectiva, todo depende del lado en que se vean las cosas o el modo en que se interpretan. Y todo puede tener una o más versiones de sí mismo, así es como una melodía pegajosa y juguetona en realidad esconde, disfraza o maquilla una letra que en realidad refleja el infortunio de quien la canta, tómese por ejemplo Young Folks de Peter, Bjorn & John, el tema que ambientó nuestro verano de hace dos años, y el cual se vuelve deprimente si se lee la letra sin el chiflidito o el cándido acompañar de los instrumentos.

Young Folks - Peter, Bjorn & John

if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
talking only me and you

Chiaaaale, si andas triste y quieres hacer sonar Young Folks pa combatir la amargura, piénsalo dos veces, ahora si no te importa esto pues mejor baja la versión que hacen los Kooks, más honesta y cercana a la letra (sin menospreciar la de los suecos).
