through the barricades

No sé porqué pero me siento de revival... ¿será porque Aïda y yo lo hemos Dejado Definitivamente y estoy teniendo un flashback general? No voy a entrar en los pormenores ni en sentimientos ni nada de nada, baste con decir que me siento como si me hubiesen arrancado la piel y los huesos, desnudo y frágil pero a la vez Yo.
Esta canción olvidada siempre me ha puesto los pelos de punta, y de repente se me ha aparecido, con todo su significado. La pérdida, el paso del tiempo, madurar, luchar... O eso es lo que entiendo yo.

"Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
They taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Born on different sides of life
We feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
And now I know what they're saying as the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Oh turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear it again
Oh I thought we were the human race
But we were just another borderline case
And the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape

I don't know where love has gone
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
And now I know what they're saying it's a terrible beauty we made
So we make our love on wasteland and through the barricades

And now I know what they're saying as our hearts go to their graves
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades"

(salvo el rollete ochentero y las campanas de fondo, me pone los pelos de punta)
