Autoestima para tontos

Tengo pensado escribir algunas entradas sobre el autoestima, la inseguridad y todas esas cosas pero mientras me informo bien sobre el tema, quería dejaros como regalo esta canción que a mi personalmente me gusta y me anima cuando la escucho.

El grupo es Rasputina, estilo Chelo-Rock, y son de Estados Unidos, lo que he escuchado me ha gustado. Podéis ver videos de conciertos de ellos en YouTube

Yo os dejo el video de la canción "If your kisses can't hold the man you love", como no se entiende muy bien la letra la dejaré escrita y haré una breve traducción "a mi manera" para que entendais lo que dice.

Every time that I hear a woman cry 'cos her man has left her flat I just feel like saying, " name="movie"

"Better dry your eyes, can't you realize
You gain nothing by that
Well, that's no way to keep his heart warm, baby,
When his love grows cool
What's the use in sighing?
What's the use in crying?
If he's wandered off the track'
Cos if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back, no
You might as well be cheerful
There's no use being tearful
If he's given you the sack'
Cos if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back
Now, listen If sweet sugar kissin' isn't gonna make him come home
Tell me, how do ya hope to keep him to ya
With tears instead of song
Just be a normal fella
Come on, say "What the hell-a"
Get his clothes and help him to pack'
Cos if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back
Love is like home cooking: good, and wholesome
But all men need some mutton on the outside now and then
If you find your boy is cheating,
Do the same, old dear
He's only giving you the chance that you've been waiting for for years
My goodness! Tears won't get you anything
J ust a shiny red nose
Go on, paint up, powder up, put on your swellest clothes
Men: go and get 'em by the score
Neglected girls shouldn't worry
That's what God made sailors for!
Don't cry for him or chase him
Just go out and replace him
With some good looking Tom, Dick or Jack'
Cos if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back
If your kisses won't hold The man you love Then your tears won't bring him back!

Básicamente dice que si tus besos no han conseguido que tu chico se quede contigo, que tus lágrimas no le harán volver. Que si se va de casa le ayudes a hacer las maletas, y que te pongas guapa y te quites las lágrimas y salgas a buscar a un marinero que para eso es para lo que están. Y que no tiene sentido llorar, que solo te va a dejar una nariz roja y fea.

No he tenido ningún problema con mi chico ni nada. Simplemente esta canción siempre me ha hecho pensar que hay que hacer frente a los malos momentos y echarle narices en vez de agazaparte, por que si te agazapas, en esta vida te comen!!

Espero que consigais entender mi peculiar punto de vista de la vida :P
