You shot me down

Este está en lo alto, bien armado y parece que sabe lo que hace.
Atentos por ahí abajo.


"Si fuera ciego ¿para qué serviría la venda?
¿Que tapa los ojos del niño ciego? ¿Vería menos por ello?

Alciati Emblematum, CXIII


YOU SHOT ME DOWN. Nancy Sinatra



I was five and he was six

We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight




Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.


Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"


Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.


Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.


Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.


Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...
