¿"Oscar" para The National?

Esta semana se han anunciado las precandidadas al Oscar a la mejor canción. Para mí los premios en artes tienen escaso valor y este galardón, menos todavía. Pero ha sido una buena excusa para conocer otra canción de uno de los grupos más en forma del panorama actual, The National. La canción está expresamente compuesta a petición del director Tom Mc Carthy para su película "Win Win". Esta enorme canción fue inspirada por las imágenes de la aventura diaria de la gente corriente tratanto salir adelante. También os dejo una traducción "de esa manera". Además son canciones que hay que escuchar más de una vez.

"Think You Can Wait"

I was drifting, crying

I was looking for an island

I was slipping under

I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

I'm out of my mind; think you can wait?

I'm way off the line; think you can wait?

We've been running a sleepless run

Been away from the baby way too long

We've been holding a good night gone

We've been losing our exits one by one

I'm out of my mind; think you can wait?

I'm way off the line; think you can wait?

Did I?

(all I have is all)

Think you can wait?

Did I?

(all I have is all)

Think you can wait?

What I'm thinking is simple

I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple

I won't make trouble

I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

We've been running a sleepless run

Been away from the baby way too long

We've been holding a good night gone

We've been losing our exits one by one

Ill try.

I'll try, but I couldn't be better.

(all I have is all)

I'll try, but I couldn't be better.

(all I have is all)

I'll try, but I couldn't be better.

(all I have is all)´
