Nina Simone, sobre ser libre

«I’ll tell you what freedom is to me: NO FEAR! I mean really, no fear. If I could have that half of my life. No fear!

(Te diré lo que es la libertad para mí: NADA DE MIEDO. Quiero decir realmente, nada de miedo. Si pudiera tener esa mitad de mi vida. ¡Sin miedo!)

-Nina Simone

Train Song

Travelling north, travelling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don’t even know what I’ll say when find you
Call out your name love, dont be surprised

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long

It wont be long
It wont be long
It wont be long

Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train I’m on
Nothing I’ve learnt all my life on the way to you
Only our love that’s over and gone

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long

It wont be long
It wont be long
It wont be long

(Bunyan/Clayre)
