One - Metallica (Official Video) HD

ESPAÑOL

"One" es una canción creada por la banda Metallica; la cuarta canción y sencillo final del álbum ...And Justice for All, del año 1988, que sigue al primer disco que hacen junto al nuevo bajista Jason Newsted luego de la trágica muerte del anterior, Cliff Burton.

La letra y tema de la canción se basan en la novela de Dalton Trumbo Johnny cogió su fusil, hablando sobre un hombre que perdió sus extremidades, vista, oído y voz en la explosión de una mina terrestre en la guerra. Este despierta en una camilla médica y conectado a máquinas que lo mantienen vivo. Al principio de la canción, su protagonista cree experimentar un sueño. Dándose cuenta de que se encuentra en la realidad, y al resultar su cuerpo "una barrera que no le permite moverse" ("trapped in myself"), expresa su deseo de morir.

ENGLISH

"One" is a song by heavy metal band Metallica. The song is released as the fourth single and fourth track of their fourth album And Justice for All. "One" was also the band's first Top 40 hit single, peaking at #35 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song's theme is based on Dalton Trumbo's 1939 novel Johnny Got His Gun. It tells the tale of a soldier whose body is severely damaged after he is hit by German artillery during World War I. His arms, legs, eyes, mouth, nose and ears are gone and he can not see, speak, smell, or hear; but his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body. The book was suspended from printing for many years during WWII and the Cold War. Trumbo directed the movie adaptation in 1971, from which the footage for the "One" music video is taken.

LYRIC - LETRA

I CAN´T REMEMBER ANYTHING
CAN´T TELL IF THIS IS TRUE OR DREAM

DEEP DOWN INSIDE I FEEL TO SCREAM
THIS TERRIBLE SILENCE STOPS ME
NOW THAT THE WAR IS THROUGH WITH ME

I´M WAKING UP I CAN NOT SEE
THAT THERE IS NOT MUCH LEFT OF ME
NOTHING IS REAL BUT PAIN NOW

HOLD MY BREATH AS I WISH FOR DEATH
OH PLEASE GOD,WAKE ME

BACK IN THE WOMB ITS MUCH TOO REAL
IN PUMPS LIFE THAT I MUST FEEL
BUT CAN´T LOOK FORWARD TO REVEAL
LOOK TO THE TIME WHEN I´LL LIVE
FED THROUGH THE TUBE THAT STICKS
IN ME
JUST LIKE A WARTIME NOVELTY

TIED TO MACHINES THAT MAKE ME BE
CUT THIS LIFE OFF FROM ME

HOLD MY BREATH AS I WISH FOR DEATH
OH PLEASE GOD,WAKE ME

NOW THE WORLD IS GONE I´M JUST ONE
OH GOD,HELP ME HOLD MY BREATH AS I WISH FOR DEATH
OH PLEASE GOD HELP ME

DARKNESS

IMPRISONING ME
ALL THAT I SEE
ABSOLUTE HORROR
I CANNOT LIVE
I CANNOT DIE
TRAPPED IN MYSELF
BODY MY HOLDING CELL

LANDMINE

HAS TAKEN MY SIGHT
TAKEN MY SPEECH
TAKEN MY HEARING
TAKEN MY ARMS
TAKEN MY LEGS
TAKEN MY SOUL
LEFT ME WITH LIFE IN HELL
