JENNIFER HOLLIDAY - AND I AM TELLING YOU I AM NOT GOING

El martes pasado oyendo Música x 3, de Radio 3 pop yendo a Madrid, descubrí una voz monstruosa, potente, incomparable. Era una canción de Jennifer Holliday de un musical de 1982, "Dreamgirls". La canción es "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going". Impresionante. No soy muy amigo de los musicales, por no decir que los detessssto, pero tras ver esto me tendré que replantear algunas de estas ideas; aunque creo que no encontrare un musical con una interpretación como esta. Si tras oír y/o ver este vídeo de 1982 -lo digo por la calidad del mismo- uno no se conmueve, o tiene horchata en lugar de sangre, o es mas insensible que una taza del váter o literalmente esta muerto.

Por todo lo que dice la canción -que podéis leer debajo-, este entrada se la dedico especialmente a una gran amiga. Raquel, todo mi animo y mi apoyo. 

And I am telling you I'm not going.

You're the best man I'll ever know.

There's no way I can ever go,

No, no, no, no way,

No, no, no, no way

I'm livin' without you.

I'm not livin' without you.

I don't want to be free.

I'm stayin', I'm stayin',

And you, and you, you're gonna love me.

Ooh, you're gonna love me.

And I am telling you I'm not going,

Even though the rough times are showing.

There's just no way, There's no way.

We're part of the same place.

We're part of the same time.

We both share the same blood.

We both have the same mind.

And time and time we have so much to share,

No, no, no,

No, no, no,

I'm not wakin' up tomorrow mornin'

And findin' that there's nobody there.

Darling, there's no way,

No, no, no, no way

I'm livin' without you.

I'm not livin' without you.

You see, there's just no way,

There's no way.

Tear down the mountains,

Yell, scream and shout.

You can say what you want,

I'm not walkin' out.

Stop all the rivers,

Push, strike, and kill.

I'm not gonna leave you,

There's no way I will.

And I am telling you I'm not going.

You're the best man I'll ever know.

There's no way I can ever, ever go,

No, no, no, no way,

No, no, no, no way

I'm livin' without you.

Oh, I'm not livin' without you,

I'm not livin' without you.

I don't wanna be free.

I'm stayin', I'm stayin',

And you, and you,

You're gonna love me.

Oh, hey, you're gonna love me,

Yes, ah, ooh, ooh, love me,

Ooh, ooh, ooh, love me,

Love me,

Love me,

Love me,

Love me.

You're gonna love me.
