Entré en una cafetería para hojear los libros comprados. Había un grupo de hombres y mujeres que charlaban de manera febril y contagiosa. Me gustó observar su mirada brillante y despreocupa, la risa en tiempos tan adustos, las expresiones que parecían recordar una lejana infancia. Junto a mi café, la bolsa abierta y un par de libros sobre la mesa. Leía el inicio de Menos que cero cuando una canción pegadiza desvió mi atención de las hojas al televisor colgado de la pared. Mika cantaba su último single, We Are Golden, en un vídeo colorista, loco, animado y de imparable ritmo. Salí de la cafetería con la canción dando vueltas en mi cabeza.
Me gusta esta canción de Mika por su alegría, por su ritmo desenfadado, porque me hace saltar y mover los pies y tararear la letra y me hace sentir bien, el contrapunto perfecto a las canciones melancólicas que suelo escuchar. Y, sobre todo, me gusta escuchar a Mika porque me lleva a Mariola, una de las personas que más quiero. La voz cambiante de Mika se confunde con la voz cálida (el alma cálida) de Mariola, una voz que siempre está dispuesta a animar, a pegar capones, a decirme lo que hago bien o las cagadas que nunca debí haber hecho, una voz sonriente o jocosa, irónica o sorprendida. La melodía de esta canción me serviría para intentar definir a Mariola, algunos momentos tranquilos se cruzan con otros homéricos e impetuosos, cálidos, desentonados, juguetones y sencillos.
Siempre es hermoso que un libro o una canción o una calle te lleven a una persona.
We Are Golden (Mika)
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you´rdeprimavera9022re young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Waking up
In the midday sun
What´s to live for?
You could see what I´ve done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running
From the things that you´d say
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you´re young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
I was a boy
At an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you´re young and you want some
Now I´m sitting alone
I´m finally looking around
Left here on my own
I´m gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I´m still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed dry
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you´re young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
