NO TENGO DE NADA PERO LO TENGO TODO

Nina Simone - Concierto en París 1976

Bienvenido sea este revival de viejas canciones guardadas en el baúl de nuestra memoria, aunque sea a través de un anuncio. No deja de sorprenderme (y asustarme en ocasiones) el potencial tan subliminal y manipulador de los medios de comunicación. Del cuarto poder ha pasado a ocupar el trono del rey de reyes de nuestra selva madre. Ojala su función fuera siempre una vía de escape enriquecedora y positiva para deleitarnos con tesoritos tan suculentos como este tema.

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no bed
Ain't got no mind

Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
Ain't got no God

And what have I got?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away?

Got my hair, Got my head
Got my brains, Got my ears
Got my eyes, Got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile
I got my tongue, Got my chin
Got my neck, Got my boobs
Got my heart, Got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, Got my hands
Got my fingers, Got my legs
Got my feet, Got my toes
Got my liver, Got my blood

I've got life , I've got my freedom
I've got the life

I've got the life
And I'm gonna keep it
I've got the life
And nobody's gonna take it away
I've got the life

(Ain't got no/I got life - Nina Simone)

Pura Vida.
