Cuándo lo demás no importa...

Honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing,

when everybody in the world will need the same lonely thing,

when I wanna work for your love, daddy.

When I wanna try for your love, daddy.

I don't understand how come you're gone, man.

I don't understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, I can't get it together.

I mean, if you got a cat for one day, man I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right?

You ain't got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man.

Well, I tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man.

Because, you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the other 364, man, but you're gonna lose that one day, man, and that's all you've got.

You gotta call that love, man.

That's what it is, man.

If you got it today you don't want it tomorrow, man, 'cause you don't need it, 'cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, man.

It's all the same fucking day, man.

So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh, you gotta hold him like it's the last minute in your life, baby.

You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him'cause someday some weight's gonna come on your shoulders, babe, it's gonna feel too heavy, it's gonna weigh on you, it's gonna feel just like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy, and a chain.

Esto dijo Janis del amor. Lo improvisó mientras cantaba Ball&Chain(álbum Joplin in Concert), con la Full Tilt Boogie Band. Podéis escuchar la canción aquí, es la primera que hay a la derecha, en los márgenes, Ball&Chain.

Y es que cuándo eres capaz de darlo todo por una persona, cuándo te da igual todo lo demás, cuándo vives por esa persona, que es lo único que importa, cuándo te da igual no estar con esa persona si esa persona no quiere estar contigo, cuándo darías toda tu alma por que esa persona fuese feliz, aunque tu estuvieses triste, eso es amor. Porque a ti te da igual, porque de ver a esa persona feliz, tu ya eres feliz, así que eso es lo único que calma tu tristeza, ver a esa persona feliz.
