Por sus canciones los conocemos: Céline Dion, gran diva del pop

Llegamos a la séptima entrega de nuestra colección que recuerda canciones y artistas unidos a nosotros y entre sí para siempre.

Cada uno de nosotros marca su imaginario musical a través de canciones por su significado, por su ritmo, por el momento en que las escuchó por primera vez, por una situación sentimental o por cualquier motivo; puede incluso que inconfesable.

Para nuestro paseo semanal miramos y escuchamos hoy canciones de Céline Dion que, posiblemente, se han quedado en nuestro recuerdo y lo hagan para siempre. Pero como es muy difícil completar en un sólo lugar todas sus canciones, elegimos TRES. Sólo.

Primero, y por aclamación popular no debemos dejar de recordar "My Heart Will Go On" porque siempre la película Titanic deberá ser tan entendida por esta canción como por la actuación de Kate Winslet y Leonardo DiCaprio; pero el recuerdo nos lleva a una sublime actuación en directo. La segunda es la canción titulada "If You Asked Me To" con una radiente e híper romántica Céline que decía "si me lo pidieras, podría cambiar de opinión" en 1992 haciendo versión de la que lanzó tres años antes la cantante estadounidense Patti LaBelle. Y la tercera, aquella que dice "The whispers in the morning" o, para nosotros, traducido "los susurros de la mañana" pero que para todos es "The Power Of Love" con la más sexy, insinuante y romántica Céline que se pueda imaginar; muchos quizá recuerden esa misma canción en voz de Jennifer Rush (que la lanzó en 1984), Laura Branigan o la mismísima Ángela Carrasco.

Puede que alguna de estas canciones no sea la preferida, la deseada o quizá querríamos que estuviera aquí, también, OTRA; aquella indispensable. Seguro que asiste la razón o el conocimiento pero esta selección que traemos estará, posiblemente, en el recuerdo imborrable de muchos. Ojalá.

My Heart Will Go On 

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

"If You Asked Me To"

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life, forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life, forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you

Ask me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
All you gotta do is ask me to
All you gotta do, all you gotta do
All you gotta do is ask me to
If you asked me to (I'd give you my world, I'd give you my world)
Everything, everything baby
If you asked me to (just ask me to)
I'd give you every last thing you want me to do
Just ask me to
If you ask me to, I'll change my mind
I'll change my mind
If you ask me

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened, but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened, but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened, but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened, but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened, but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened, but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
