Disidente

Disidente, adaptación de Dissident, de Pearl Jam. Publicado en la edición #57 del periódico El Libertario, Caracas, Vzla.

El vocalista Eddie Vedder sobre Dissident:

" In Dissident, I'm actually talking about a woman who takes in someone who's being sought after by the authorities for political reasons. He's on the run, and she offers him a refuge. But she just can't handle the responsibility. She turns him in, then she has to live with the guilt and the realization that she's betrayed the one thing that gave her life meaning. It made her life difficult. It made her life hell. But it gave her a reason to be. But she couldn't hold on. She folded. That's the tragedy of the song."

( En Disidente, en realidad estoy hablando de una mujer que acoge a alguien que está siendo buscado por las autoridades por razones políticas. El se está fugando y ella le ofrece un refugio. Pero ella no puede manejar la responsabilidad. Ella se vuelve contra él, entonces tiene que vivir con la culpa y la conciencia de que ha traicionado la única cosa que le dio su sentido de la vida. Que hizo su vida difícil. Que hizo su vida un infierno. Pero le dio una razón de ser. Pero ella no podía resistir. Ella se rindió. Esa es la tragedia de la canción.)

Dissident

She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasnt so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say...what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past...a holy no...
She had to turn around

When she couldnt hold, oh...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here

And to this day, shes glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact...with the conflict...
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around

When she couldnt hold...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...oh...oh...

She gave him away when she couldnt hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...
Couldnt hold on...
she couldnt hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh...
A dissident is here.
