WEST SIDE STORY ( 2 )

Las cosas empiezan a complicarse, la tensión entre portorriqueños y norteamericanos aumenta, en fin, el tema se pone chungo... en esta canción Anita,( mira que llamarse Anita PRECISAMENTE ) la mejor amiga de Maria, intenta hacerla ver lo malo que puede ser Tony para ella, con todo tipo de razonamientos más o menos razonables. Los amigos lo hacen todo pensando en nuestro bien, nos enseñan lo que es mejor y lo que es peor, pero con el amor no se puede razonar...

"Tengo un amor, y es todo lo que tengo" le dice Maria a Anita "Bueno o malo, ¿que puedo hacer?"

...finalmente acaba por convencer a su amiga de que cuando se ama así, no se puede luchar contra ese sentimiento, y las dos juntas cantan:

"Cuando el amor es tan fuerte

no hay bueno ni malo

Tu amor es tu vida."

Cucarachas.

Esta es la letra en versión original...

ANITA

A boy like that who'd kill your brother,

Forget that boy and find another,

One of your own kind,

Stick to your own kind!

A boy like that will give you sorrow,

You'll meet another boy tomorrow,

One of your own kind,

Stick to your own kind!

A boy who kills cannot love,

A boy who kills has no heart.

And he's the boy who gets your love

And gets your heart.

Very smart, Maria, very smart!

A boy like that wants one thing only,

And when he's done, he'll leave you lonely.

He'll murder your love;

He murdered mine.

Just wait and see, Just wait, Maria, Just wait and see!

MARIA

Oh no, Anita, no, Anita, no!

It isn't true, not for me,

It's true for you, not for me.

I hear your words

And in my head I know they're smart,

But my heart, Anita, But my heart

Knows they're wrong

... You should know better! ...

You were in love - or so you said. ...

You should know better . . .

I have a love, and it's all that I have.

Right or wrong, what else can I do?

I love him; I'm his, And everything he is I am, too.

I have a love, and it's all that I need,

Right or wrong, and he needs me, too.

I love him, we're one;

There's nothing to be done,

Not a thing I can do

But hold him, hold him forever,

Be with him now, tomorrow

And all of my life!

BOTH

When love comes so strong,

There is no right or wrong,

Your love is your life.

...y esta es la música:

Cuando estas enamorado, no hay argumentos posibles.

Es así, y punto, y tu amor es todo lo que tienes.

Y afortunado tu, si alguna vez has vivido algo tan hermoso...
