Mama, you been on my mind

(esta entrada la puse hace un tiempito en otro blog, pero me dieron ganas de tener todo junto en este lugar. cada vez que leo la letra... Dicho sea de paso, comento que en los últimos días me tocó escuchar la versión de Jack Johnson... Qué se le va a hacer, no todos, por suerte, pueden estar en el mismo lugar)

Una canción preferida. No sé que más decir. Aca, la versión de estudio de Bob Dylan y la de Sonic Youth, que me gusta incluso más. Incluyo la letra.

Bob Dylan
Mama, You Been On My Mind

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset,
I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you"
I do not piss the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet,
Mama, you been on my mind.

Even though my eyes are hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow.
I don't even mind who you'll be wakin' with tomorrow,
Mama, you're just on my mind.

I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I have no place I'm calling you to go.
I'm just whispering to myself, so I can pretend that I don't know,
Mama, you are on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror.
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind.
