El grupo Tokyo Ska Paradise sorprende porque son japoneses y se dedican al ska, aunque, la verdad, no es tan raro porque muchos grupos, incluso españoles, se dedican a este estilo, si bien es cierto que a los Skapara (acrónimo del grupo) les trasferimos un significado casi mágico por el simple hecho de que los que actúan son orientales. Sean de donde sean, merece la pena verles en concierto, sales con la sensación de everything’s gonna be all right (todo va ir bien).
Un amigo mío recomienda levantase todos los días con esta canción Pride of Lions (Orgullo de leones).
Pride Of Lions (letra completa)
Words:谷中敦/Music:沖祐市
An innocent boy’s going to find a dream
Someone’s going off the rails
Tiny poets are going to the end
Treating life as a book on fireNaked eyes are open wide
“What’s the meaning of my life?”
A wise man shouts a prudent verse
He’s hiding angerWake up to play the game of truth
A pride of lions runs about
You’ve lost your mind but keep fighting
For wonderful fellowsGo get a girl and have some beer
Someone’s paved the way to go
You might think it’s just for fun
Enchanted by boredomA mighty player’s going to overcome
Giving it up and wasting time
A lonely game of cards is dull
Call a genuine gamblerWake up to play the game of truth
A pride of lions runs about
You’ve lost your mind but keep fighting
For wonderful fellowsTonight tonight going tonight
For any motion you believe
Good-bye Good-bye to agony
Share a dream with usLet yourself be ruled by destiny
You will not be completely aloneAn innocent boy’s going to find a dream
Someone’s going off the rails
Tiny poets are going to the end
Treating life as a book on fireNaked eyes are open wide
“What’s the meaning of my life?”
A wise man shouts a prudent verse
He’s hiding angerWake up to play the game of truth
A pride of lions runs about
You’re lost your mind but keep fighting
For wonderful fellowsTonight tonight going tonight
For any motion you believe
Hello Hello in harmony
Share a dream with us
Recordemos un clásico de los orígenes del ska y del buenrollismo , Hold me tight (Abrázame fuerte) de Johhny Nash y desde los sesenta.
Y aquí os escribo la letra para que podáis cantar al mismo tiempo que escucháis la canción.
Hold me tight
I don’t want to hear it,
No more fussin’ and fightin’ baby,
Hold me tight.
Let’s let bygones be bygones,
Let’s think about tomorrow girl,
Our future’s bright.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
And everything’s gonna be all right,
Baby, Hold me tight.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
And everything’s gonna be all right,
Baby, Hold me tight.
