Regalo de cumpleaños para Isabel K



Entonces teniamos 18 años y toda una vida por delante.

Gracias a Wes Anderson y a la primera parte de su película Viaje a Darjeeling , Hotel Chevalier, hemos recuperado un poco de nuestro pasado.

Paris. Es 1969. Todavía quedan adoquines arrancados en Saint Michel.

El cantante es Peter Sarstedt y la canción tiene por título "Where do you go to (my lovely). Cuenta la historia de una chica muy particular...

Solo para ti….

  2. La letra completa:

    You talk like Marlene Dietrich
    And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
    Your clothes are all made by Balmain
    And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair

    You live in a fancy apartment
    Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
    Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
    And a friend of Sacha Distel

    You go to the embassy parties
    Where you talk in Russian and Greek
    And the young men who move in your circle
    They hang on every word you speak, yes I do...

    But where do you go to my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed
    Tell me the thoughts that surround you
    I want to look inside your head, yes I do...

    I've seen all your qualifications
    You got from the Sorbonne
    And the painting you stole from Picasso
    Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

    When you go on your summer vacation
    You go to Juan-les-Pines
    With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
    You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs
    When the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
    With the others of the jet-set
    And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
    But you never get your lips wet

    But where do you go to my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed
    (Won't you) Tell me the thoughts that surround you
    I want to look inside your head, yes I do

    You're in-between twenty an thirty -
    A very desirable age
    Your body's firm and inviting
    But you live on a glittering state

    Your name is heard in high places
    You know the Aga Khan
    He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
    And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh ahaha

    They say that when you get married
    It'll be to a millionaire
    But they don't realize where you came from
    And I wonder if they really care, they give a damn

    Where do you go to my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed
    Tell me the thoughts that surround you
    I want to look inside your head

    I remember the back streets of Naples
    Two children begging in rags
    Both touched with a burning ambition
    To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they try

    So look into my face Marie-Claire
    And remember just who you are
    Then go and forget me forever
    But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do

    I know where you go to my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed
    I know the thoughts that surround you
    `Cause I can look inside your head
