Eye of the Tiger

Después de bastante tiempo de ausencia, ya estamos de nuevo de vuelta ... y esta vez recordamos un poco de música. La máquina del tiempo nos lleva hasta 1982 cuando la banda americana Survivor interpretaba el tema "Eye of the Tiger" . La mayoría lo recordarán por ser el tema principal de la película "Rocky III". De hecho, se escribió a petición de Silvester Stallone... Desde entonces se han hecho múltiples versiones y a algunos les sonará la interpretada por Chiara Mastroianni en "Persepolis".

Desde hace unos días nos encontramos con otra versión más (¿o es la misma?, presuntos plagios aparte) para uno de esos anuncios sobre ruedas...En cualquier caso, el tiempo ya ha hecho de "Eye of the Tiger" todo un clásico.



Eye of the Tiger - Survivor (version entera del tema original)
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
