¿Se acuerdan de la canción “En otro Jamboree”? (La que compuse junto con “El sol brilla aquí”, himno del Jamboree del Sol). Era esa historia de amor entre un scout y una scout en un Jamboree…. bueno. Les había contado que con motivo del Jamboree Mundial en Inglaterra, hice una versión en inglés – con ayuda de mi esposo, cuyo inglés es superior al mío. La llegamos a cantar en una fogata y también en The Black Magic – que era el “pub” de la delegación alemana.
Hoy , buscando unos parches, ENCONTRÉ la letra!!! La estoy leyendo y veo que gramaticalmente suena un poco tirada de los pelos…. pero así tenía que ser, para que rimara y a la vez guardara el mismo espíritu que la original. Aquí la anoto para ustedes.
MAYBE IN OTHER JAMBOREE –
Lyrics: Bettina + Stefan . Music: Bettina
He:
My memories are still blury
yet this is a recent story.
I always was the cool guy
but now I`m so confused.
My friends and I were camping
so much fun we all were having
but suddenly, something better…
occured.
She:
A couple hours before the camp
I packed all my stuff
squeezed my backpack tight
no wonder it scattered.
You stopped and gave a hand
– not a word, only your smile…
and I think that was the start of
the fire.
Together:
I keep in silence all these feelings in me
I`ll tell you later, maybe in other Jamboree.
He:
Our camps were very near
‘saw you daily when it was clear:
you were ready to have breakfast
while I was just waking up.
My sleepy face made you smile,
my messy hair made you laugh.
And I loved that look of you…
so much!
She:
At lunchtime I dissappeared
my whole patrol was searching me
because nobody knew
I was hanging out with you.
And often late at night
we plead the security guys:
“Oh, people, let us go
right now!”
Together:
I keep in silence all these feelings in me
I`ll tell you later, maybe in other Jamboree.
He:
The event is almost over:
scout brotherhood got stronger.
But now, what can I do
if I only think… of you?
I`m so shy, don`t you see
I can’t tell you what’s in me
maybe it would spoil our perfect
Jamboree.
She:
So today you go back home
‘thousand miles, or maybe more.
You promise you will write soon,
we both know: that won’t be true.
I hug you with all my life,
say some jokes and then, good bye
looking down to hide the tears in
my eyes.
Together:
I keep in silence all these feelings in me
I`ll tell you later, maybe in other Jamboree.
