Si este fuera un
blog sobre cine, hablaría de su adorable papelón de anti-héroe nazi cagado de
miedo en esa grandiosa película que es “Das Boot (El Submarino)” (1981),
recientemente rescatada del baúl de los más épicos recuerdos. Pero como no lo
es, recomiendo una de sus canciones, la bonita y pegadiza “Mensch”.
Porque como buen alemán, este tipo lo mismo plancha un huevo que fríe una
camisa. En su tierra lleva años siendo una eminencia como actor, pianista,
músico de rock y compositor de bandas sonoras. Aquí no lo conoce ni el Tato. Tres
hurras por el teniente Werner.
(Ejem, y como no soy
tan capulla, pongamos la traducción al inglés)
MENSCH (HUMAN)
Right now is right, right now is good
Nothing's really important
Nothing's really important
After low tide comes high tide on the beach of life
Without reason, without understanding
nothing is in vain, I build my dreams on the sand
And it is, it is okay, everything on the way
It's a sunny time, unburdened and free
And human is called human
Because he forgets, because he represses
Because he's enthusiastic and toughens up
He warms up when he tells tales
And because he laughs, because he lives, you're missed
The firmament has opened up, cloudless and ocean blue
And telephone, gas, electricity unpaid and that's all right
Share your peace with me even if it's only borrowed
I don't want your love, I only want your word
And it is, it is okay, everything on the way
It's a sunny time, clear and easy
And human is called human
And because he errs, and because he struggles
Because he hopes and loves
Because he empathizes and forgives
And because he laughs, and because he lives, you're missed
Oh, because he laughs, because he lives, you're missed
Oh, its okay, everything on the way
It's a sunny time, clear and easy
And human is called human
Because he forgets, because he suppresses
And because he's enthusiastic and believes
Depends on and trusts
And because he laughs, because he lives, you're missedWithout reason, without understanding
nothing is in vain, I build my dreams on the sand
And it is, it is okay, everything on the way
It's a sunny time, unburdened and free
And human is called human
Because he forgets, because he represses
Because he's enthusiastic and toughens up
He warms up when he tells tales
And because he laughs, because he lives, you're missed
The firmament has opened up, cloudless and ocean blue
And telephone, gas, electricity unpaid and that's all right
Share your peace with me even if it's only borrowed
I don't want your love, I only want your word
And it is, it is okay, everything on the way
It's a sunny time, clear and easy
And human is called human
And because he errs, and because he struggles
Because he hopes and loves
Because he empathizes and forgives
And because he laughs, and because he lives, you're missed
Oh, because he laughs, because he lives, you're missed
Oh, its okay, everything on the way
It's a sunny time, clear and easy
And human is called human
Because he forgets, because he suppresses
And because he's enthusiastic and believes
Depends on and trusts
Oh, it's quite okay, it hurts the same all over
It's a sunny time without any plan, without accompaniment
And human is called human
Because he remembers, because he struggles
Because he hopes and loves
Because he empathizes and forgives
And because he laughs, and because he lives, you're missed

Coño Mary, cuanto se aprende en tu blog. No sabía que este tipo era músico. Lo conozco de Das Boot, claro, para mí la mejor película y la más fiel a la dureza de la realidad a bordo de un submarino que se haya rodado -y sé de lo que hablo-. Saludos...
Das Boot es de mis pelis favoritas de la historia, y conste que no soy muy fan del cine bélico. Pero no sé qué tiene que acabas creyendo que estás dentro del submarino con ellos, sufriendo y asfixiándote. En cuanto a Gronemeyer, a mí también me sorprendió cuando me enteré de que es músico. Creo que lo último que ha hecho es la BSO de "The American" de Anton Corbijn. Saludetes y feliz 2013!! Ya ví que andabas por tierras galas...
