Ain’t got no / I got life (Nina Simone, 1968; from the musical Hair)

Spotify link

YouTube link

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no beer
Ain't got no man
Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
Ain't got no God
What have I got?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got?
Nobody can take away
Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile
I got my tongue, got my chin
Got my neck, got my boobs
Got my heart, got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex
I got my arms, got my hands
Got my fingers, got my legs
Got my feet, got my toes
Got my liver, got my blood
I've got life , I've got my freedom
I've got the life
And I'm gonna keep it
I've got the life
And nobody's gonna take it away
I've got the life

¿Sofás cama o sofás camas?

En las construcciones con sustantivos en aposición (dos sustantivos juntos), el segundo modifica, matiza o complementa al primero.

En este tipo de expresiones, solo el primer sustantivo puede llevar la marca de plural, quedando el segundo como invariable en cuanto al número. Lo correcto es sofás cama, hombres rana, niños prodigio, noticias bomba, pisos piloto...

Footing

Se trata de un falso anglicismo (no existe este término en inglés para designar el concepto para el que lo utilizamos en español: correr al aire libre).

Este deporte se llama, en los países del Río de la Plata, aerobismo. En otros países de América, trotar. Y en el español de España, sencillamente correr.

(Por cierto, dicho deporte, en inglés, se denomina jogging o running.)

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, 1967)

Spotify Link

YouTube link

Listen, baby: Ain´t no mountain high, ain´t no valley low,
Ain´t no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are,
No matter how far (don't worry, baby)
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe.

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you you could always count on me, darling
From that day on
I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, somehow

No wind, no rain,
Or winters cold
Can stop me, baby.
Na na baby
'Cause you are my goal.
If you’re ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just sing for me
Oooh baby.

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me from getting to you, babe.
