Hola, estimados amigos. Espero hayan tenido un excelente inicio de semana y que se encuentren en salud.
Por acá con mucha buena energía y con ganas de compartir más música con ustedes. En esta ocasión le corresponde a "Unforgettable", una hermosa canción dedicada a nuestra persona amada. Esta canción fue una de las primeras que comencé a cantar al ir aprendiendo la pronunciación del idioma inglés y desde siempre me ha encantado cantarla.
Su autor fue Irvin Gordon y, aunque en principio se llamaba "Uncomparable" se le pidió a su autor que lo cambiara y así lo hizo, quedando entonces tal como la conocemos hoy desde 1951, popularizada por Nat king Cole. Tiempo más tarde su hija, Natalie la retomó y la cantó como si la hubiese estado cantando con su padre, utilizando una grabación en una presentación en vivo en los 80´s. La canción fue un gran éxito, puesto que alcanzó el 14 lugar en el top 100 de la cartelera Billboard. Es una canción enmarcada dentro del género Jazz.
Este tema siempre me ha parecido especial no solo por su letra, una oda al amor expresada de una forma muy linda resaltando lo que representa el ser amado, sino también por el hecho de que se exprese lo recíproco de ese amor y admiración: **"That´s why, darling, it´s incredible that someone so unforgettable think that I am unforgettable, too" (Por eso, cariño, es increíble que alguien tan inolvidable piense que, yo soy inolvidable también). **
Por acá les dejo la letra, si gustan cantarla:
Unforgettable That's what you are Unforgettable
Though near or far
Like a song of love
That clings to me
How the thought of you
Does things to me
Never before Has someone been more Unforgettable
In every way And forevermore
That's how you'll stay
That's why, darling It's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am Unforgettable too.
Ha sido un gusto cantar y compartir con ustedes. Hasta una nueva canción.
ENGLISH VERSION:
Hello, dear friends. I hope you’ve had a great start to the week and that you’re all in good health.
Over here, I’m full of positive energy and eager to share more music with you. This time, it’s “Unforgettable,” a beautiful song dedicated to our loved ones. This song was one of the first I started singing as I was learning English pronunciation, and I’ve always loved singing it.
It was written by Irvin Gordon, and although it was originally titled “Uncomparable,” the composer was asked to change it, which he did, resulting in the version we know today since 1951, made famous by Nat King Cole. Years later, his daughter, Natalie, revived it and sang it as if she had been singing it with her father, using a recording from a live performance in the 1980s. The song was a huge hit, reaching number 14 on the Billboard Top 100 chart. It is a song classified within the jazz genre.
This song has always felt special to me, not only because of its lyrics—an ode to love expressed in such a beautiful way that highlights what it means to be loved—but also because it conveys the reciprocity of that love and admiration: “That’s why, darling, it’s incredible that someone so unforgettable thinks that I am unforgettable, too.”
Here are the lyrics, in case you want to sing along:
Unforgettable That's what you are Unforgettable
Though near or far
Like a song of love
That clings to me
How the thought of you
Does things to me
Never before Has someone been more Unforgettable
In every way And forevermore
That's how you'll stay
That's why, darling It's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am Unforgettable too.
It has been a pleasure to sing and share this moment with you. Until the next song.
