My man

 




 Canción francesa «Mon homme» de 1920, con música de Maurice Yvain. Muy versionada, traigo la versión inglesa de Barbra Streisand, que también cantó para la película Funny Girl. Y esta francesa de Edith Piaf.






Letra 


Oh, my man I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair

But I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright, all right

What's the difference if I say

I'll go away

When I know I'll come back on my knees some day?

For whatever my man is

I am his forever more

It's cost me a lot

But there's one thing that I've got

It's my man

Cold and wet, tired you bet

But all that I soon forget

With my man

He's not much for looks

And no hero out of books

Is my man

Two or three girls has he

That he likes as well as me

But I love him!

Oh, my man I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair

But I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright, all right

What's the difference if I say

I'll go away

When I know I'll come back on my knees some day?

For what ever my man is

I am his forever more

With God on our side

  Canción de Bob Dylan de 1963. Canción del egocentrismo y del dios a nuestra medida. "Jesús fue traicionado por un beso, pero no puedo pensar por ti Usted tendrá que decidir, si Judas Iscariote tenía a Dios de su lado (...) Si Dios está de nuestro lado, detendrá la próxima guerra". Letra Oh my name it ain't nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I was taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side Oh, the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh, the country was young With God on its side The Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War, too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I was made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side The First World War, boys It came and it went The reason for fighting I never did get But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you d
