VIXEN, grupo de hard-rock integrado por féminas, nos dejó baladas como estas en los ochenta:
Only a fool believes it's better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all So I don't wanna take that fall, it's a long, long, long way down I'm hurt, love struck me down again, enticed me in and pulled the pin Blew my tender heart sky high Now in my pain, I'm asking why as I'm crying Should I give it my last try or say goodbye Chorus: Love is a killer, a homicidal fiend Love is a killer, it'll be the death of me I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black [Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/T4O6] Love is a killer, it's killing me Love, so sweetly beckoning I've seen your face, called your name I tasted tears you cried Lived in shadows in my mind, frozen here in time, don't leave me here to die chorus (Solo) You fascinate and yet frustrate, demand so much of me, yeah I've had enough, it's tearing me up inside Cross my heart, hope to survive You got a smoking gun, well don't shoot me love, no! You're a - chorus Love is a killer, no, love is a killer, no no I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black Love is a killer, it's killing me
Balada de WHITESNAKE, de su álbum más exitoso: 1987. La voz de David Coverdale, ex-cantante de Deep Purple marcará el estilo de esta banda británica de hard rock, con toques de blues y soul.
I should have known better Than to let you go alone It's times like these I can't make it on my own Wasted days, and sleepless nights An' I can't wait to see you again
I find I spend my rime Waiting on your call How can I tell you, babe My back's against the wall I need you by my side To tell me it's alright Cos I don't think I can take anymore
Is this love that I'm feeling Is this the love that I've been searching for Is this love or am I dreaming This must be love Cos it's really go a hold on me A hold on me
I can't stop the feeling I've been this way before But, with you I've found the key To open any door I can feel my love for you Growing stronger day by day An' I can't wait too see you again So I can hold you in my arms
Is this love that I'm feeling Is this the love that I've been searching for Is this love or am I dreaming This must be love Cos it's really got a hold on me A hold on me
Is this love that I'm feeling Is this the love that I've been searching for
El amor muerde... Eso dice esta preciosa balada de DEF LEPPARD, extraída de su álbum "Hysteria" (1987)
If you've got love in your sights Watch out, love bites
When you make love, do you look in the mirror? Who do you think of, does he look like me? Do you tell lies and say that it's forever? Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see? Ooh babe ooh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go? Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show? Ooh c'mon
I don't wanna touch you too much baby 'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy I know you think that love is the way you make it So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it No!
Love bites, love bleeds It's bringin' me to my knees Love lives, love dies It's no surprise Love begs, love pleads It's what I need
When I'm with you are you somewhere else? Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself? When you wake up will you walk out? It can't be love if you throw it about Ooh babe
I don't wanna touch you too much baby 'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
[Repeat Chorus]
[guitar solo]
Ooh yeah
[Repeat Bridge]
Love bites, love bleeds It's bringin' me to my knees Love lives, love dies
[Repeat Chorus]
If you've got love in your sights Watch out, love bites Yes it does It will be hell
Sin lugar a dudas, Doro Pesh es la cantante femenina con más exito y de mayor calado en la historia del hard-rock. Por eso la he elegido como mi alter-ego en el perfil, una fémina rebelde que se atrevió a ser una de las primeras vocalistas del metal en los años ochenta, cuando era un mundo dominado por hombres. Imprimió un sello único en el grupo Warlock y después emprendió su andadura en solitario.
Für Immer (Para Siempre) es una balada publicada en el cuarto y último album de Warlock: "Triumph and Agony".
Bleib' Dir treu niemals auseinandergeh'h werden zueinandersteh'n fur immer
Keine Macht wird uns jemals trennen werde wie ein Tier drum kampfen Du lernst mich kennen!
Denn Freunde geh'n mir uber alles-immer- Ich werd' immer fur Dich sein -fur immer- Deep inside my heart -fur immer- v Deep inside my heart -fur immer- Deep inside my heart -i see you and me
So lange Zeit sehn' ich Dich -Geborgenheit- in Freiheit
Mut und Kraft fuhren mich durch jeden Tag begleiten uns in tiefster Nacht -bald geschafft !-
Ich wurd' mein Leben fur Dich geben -immer- werden alles ubersteh'n -fur immer- Deep inside my heart -fur immer- Deep inside my heart -fur immer- Deep inside my heart ...
There's a message in this sound Hay una promessa en el sonido Fur immer zusammen werden uns niemals trennen -uns niemals trennen !-
En el albúm "Streets of Rock Opera" (1991) de Savatage aparecen estas dos baladas enlazándose una con otra, tras unas leves notas de piano.
La progresión en crescendo de ambas me pone los pelos como escarpias. Sobre todo en la segunda, donde un ritmo melódico acaba adquiriendo un tono desgarrador.
Somewhere in Time
So what can I tell you If life's the length of this play Perhaps God gave the answers To those with nothing to say
But then the years are forgiving If God's forgiving in kind Perhaps we'll all find our answers somewhere in time
I've been changing Redefining All the things I thought I knew So long ago When I was flying Through those years that seem so far away
In the back of a reason In the back of my mind Where I've piled up the seasons That I've traded for times
I've been grasping at rainbows Hanging on till the end But the rain is so real lord And the rainbows pretend And the rainbows pretend
I've been changing Redefining All the things I thought I knew So long ago When I was flying Through the years That seem so far away
Believe
So after all those one night stands You've ended up with heart in hand A child alone On your own Retreating Regretful for the things you're not And all the things you haven't got Without a home A heart of stone Lies bleeding
And for all the roads you followed And for all you did not find And for all the dreams you had to leave behind
I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you Believe Your childhood eyes were so intense While bartering your innocence For bits of string The grown-up wings You needed
But when you had to add them up You found that there were not enough To get you in Pay for sins repeated
And for all the years you borrowed And for all the tears you hide And for all the fears you had to keep inside
I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't walk away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe
I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me I never wanted to go I always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play So I plot and I plan And I hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams And I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay
I am the way I am the light I am the dark Inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you Believe
Una balada que habla sobre la huella imborrable que deja el primer amor. Perteneciente al Lp "Soldiers under Command" (1985) del grupo de Metal Cristiano STRYPER.
She waits alone, oh every night Tears are in her eyes She has lost all the love she had She lived her life for Him each day She threw it all away To live for herself - live her life her way / (chorus There is no love like the love of your first love It's so true It's for you as you are Tears in the night Filled with pain You're running from the love That you had once before - your first love Someone to hold you though the pain To make you smile again And to protect you forever Someone to take your fears away To help you through each day To carry you when you just can't go on / (chorus) There is no love like the love of your first love It's so true Your love will never leave you Tears in the night / Filled with pain You're running from the love That you had before you cried out for your first love / (chorus)
