In my life — The Beatles

Luego del poema de Kavafis, me fue inevitable hacer la conexión con In my life de The Beatles. Para mi gusto, es una de las letras y melodías más bellas que hayan compuesto los Fab Four. Una canción sobre esa vida que ha ocurrido en los lugares de una ciudad. Lugares que cambiaron. Que seguramente Lennon, en pleno auge de la beatlemanía, obervó en Liverpool; y comprendió que ya no eran los mismos, aunque algunos de ellos parecieran seguir igual.


In my life

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more.

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more.

The Beatles: Rubber Soul, 1965.
