Para que no os perdáis detalle, aquí tenéis la letra de “Giving up the gun” de Vampire Weekend:


Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done
-
And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun
-
When I was 17
I had wrists like steel
And I felt complete
-
And now my body fades
Behind a brass charade
And I’m obsolete
-
But if the chance remained
To see those better days
I’d cut the cannons down
-
My ears are blown to bits
From all the rifle hits
But I still crave that sound
-
CHORUS
I heard you play guitar
Down at a seedy bar
Where skinheads used to fight
-
Your Tokugawa smile
And your garbage style
Used to save the night
-
You felt the coming wave
Told me we’d all be brave
You said you wouldn’t flinch
-
But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven’t moved an inch
-
CHORUS
I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on
