Las escenas: I’m your man

por Mariana y punto

Por la película Caro Diario y esta canción conocí a Leonard Cohen. Nanni Moretti, protagonista y director, va en su motorino feliz de la vida, aparentemente sin ni una preocupación y sintiéndose el tipo más canchero del mundo. En ese momento no es un hipocondriaco, sino un tipo que le puede chamullar cualquier cosa a cualquier tipo en la calle, que puede inventar lo que sea y que disfruta feliz y totalmente en otra de los paseos cotidianos.

A mí me pasa que no es que haya que pasear por Roma para sentirse así. Después de ver Caro Diario conocí más a Leonard Cohen, pero I’m Your Man sigue siendo mi canción suya favorita.

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I’m your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I’ll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I’m your man

Ah, the moon’s too bright
The chain’s too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
I’ve been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I’d crawl to you baby
And I’d fall at your feet
And I’d howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I’d claw at your heart
And I’d tear at your sheet
I’d say please, please
I’m your man

And if you’ve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I’ll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I’m your man

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you
