A
lo largo de la vida, y con el pasar de las vivencias que la accidentan para
bien o para no tan bien, uno va anotando ciertos elementos que son más
importantes que otros. La canción Levon
es importante para Sir Elton John. Pertenece
a su cuarto álbum que también es importante para Elton, y se titula Madman
Across the Water. Este fue grabado el 27
de Febrero de 1971. Existe razonable
certeza ante la posibilidad de que Elton cante esta canción en Panamá.
Bernie
Taupin escribió la letra de esta canción y Elton es el responsable por la
música. La canción lleva el nombre del
baterista de la banda, Levon Helm. El
nombre Levon también es importante para Elton, dado que él y su actual
compañero civil, David Furnish, le dieron por nombre a su hijo "Zachary
Jackson Levon Furnish-John", dado que el bebé nació en el día de Navidad
(de 2010), igual que Levon en la canción.
Es
una bella canción, y es importante.
Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
'Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said, "God is dead
And the war's begun, Alvin' Tostig has a son today"
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said, "God is dead
And the war's begun, Alvin' Tostig has a son today"
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
He calls his child Jesus
'Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said, "God is dead
And the war's begun, Alvin' Tostig has a son today"
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon

And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan

And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
