Ironic (Alanis Morissette)

Esta canción siempre me ha gustado. La aprendí un verano que estuve en Dublín y no he olvidado ni una sola palabra de ella, ni un solo sentimiento que tuve el día que la entendí. Hoy la he vuelto a escuchar y simplemente quería compartirla con vosotros:

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And Isn't this ironic ... don't youthink?

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreamsand then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...


Bueno, para los que no sepais inglés os traduzco la conclusión:

Bueno, la vida tiene una manera curiosa de engañarte Cuando piensas que todo está bien y que todo está yendo bien. Y la vida tiene maneras curiosas de ayudarte cuando piensas que todo ha ido mal y todo te explota en la cara.

¿No pensais que es irónico?
