Barry Ryan – Eloise

Ayer en Classic Box, un programa de M80 radio que me acompaña al volante con cierta frecuencia… ayer, justo ayer, cuando estaba a punto de salir del coche empezó a sonar «Eloise», pero no la versión de Tino Casal que sonaba por la radio cuando yo era canijo, si no la original, la que cantó Barry Ryan, gran éxito hace más de 43 años. Yo confieso: desconocía completamente su existencia, pero nunca es tarde para hacer un pequeño reconocimiento a esta gran canción.

Barry Ryan – Eloise   

Every night I’m there,
I’m always there, she knows I’m there,
and heaven knows, I hope she goes.
I find it hard to realize that love was in her eyes,
it’s dying now, she knows I’m crying now,
and every night I’m there, I break my heart to please
Eloise, Eloise.

You know I’m on my knees, yeah, I said please.
You’re all I want so hear my prayer, my prayer.
My Eloise is like the stars that please the night,
the sun that makes the day, that lights the way.
And when my star goes by, I’ll hold it in my hands and cry,
her love is mine, my sun will shine.
Every night I’m there I break my heart to please
Eloise, Eloise.

You’re all I want, you gotta hear my prayer.
My Eloise, I’d love to please her,
I’d love to care, but she’s not there.
and when I find you, I’d be so kind,
you’d want to stay, I know you’d stay.
And as the days grow old, the nights grow cold,
I wanna hold her near to me, I know she’s dear to me.
And only time can tell and take away this lonely hell,
I’m on my knees to Eloise.
and every night I’m there, I break my heart to please
Eloise, Eloise.

You are my life so hear my prayer.
You are the price, I know you’re there.
You’re all I want so hear my prayer.
You’re all I need and I’m not there,
You know I’m not there…
