Tras un pequeño descanso, hoy traigo una nueva canción. Para los que no conozcáis a Mark Knopfler por su nombre, quizá os suene su voz del mítico grupo Dire Straits, que fundo junto a su hermano David, y del que era lider y vocalista. Mark ha sido reconocido como uno de los mejores guitarristas de la historia y es famoso por no utilizar púa. En 1995 Dire Straits anunciaba su disolución. Un año después, Mark publicaba "Golden Heart", su primer álbum en solitario. Su último álbum en solitario, "Kill to get crimson", salió a la venta en 2007, y yo debería comprarmelo ya...pero siempre se me olvida...Me lo voy a apuntar y así no volveré a olvidarme...
"Why aye man" - Mark Knopfler
We had no way of staying afloat,
We had to leave on a ferryboat.
Economic refugees,
On the run to Germany.
We had the back of Maggie's hand,
Times were tough in Geordieland.
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here.
Why aye man.
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man,
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man.
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man,
Why aye, why aye man.
We're nomad tribes, travelling boys,
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise.
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks,
Mixing concrete, laying bricks.
There's English, Irish, Scots, the lot.
United Nations what we got.
Brickies, chippies, every trade.
German building, British made.
Why aye man.
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man,
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man.
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man,
Why aye, why aye man.
Nay more work on Maggie's farm.
Haddaway down the autobahn.
Mine's a Portakabin bed,
Or a bunk in a Nissen hut instead.
There's plenty Deutschmarks here to earn.
And German tarts are wunderschön.
German beer is chemical free.
Germany's alright with me.
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne,
But you're my pretty fräulein.
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry,
Keep wor spirit levels high.
Why aye man.
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man,
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man.
Why aye, why aye man.
Why aye man,
Why aye, why aye man.
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne,
But you're my pretty fräulein.
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry,
Keep wor spirit levels high.
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne,
But you're my pretty fräulein.
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry,
Keep wor spirit levels high.
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry, keep wor spirit levels high...
