PENNY LANE


Ya no me acuerdo si comenté alguna vez que vivo, hasta dentro de muy pocos dias que me mudo, casi en la esquina de Penny Lane.
Así que, imbuiod del espíritu Beatle me fui a recorrer la calle. Puesto a defnirla es mas larga que corta. empezé a recorrerla por mi esquina y allí está el Liverpool College, colegio privado y super caro que ocupa un manzana bien grande con su enormes capos de deporte. según avzans un poco tiene que subir un paso superior, para vehículos y peatones, que permite pode debajo el paso de los trenes de cercanías. Desconozco si esto existía en los tiempos en lo que se escribió la canción.
Tras descender por el otro lado se abre ante mis ojos una calle normal y coriente de Liverpool: casas de ladrillo rojo, tiendas de "desavío2 abiertas a casi cualquier hora y por mas que la recorro hasta llegar al final no hay nada especial en ella. mas bien es Cutre Lanne que otra cosa.
Una bonita decepción.

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to have know.
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mack
In the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machine.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And tho' she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.
