Rehab


Hoy es un día triste porque hace pocos minutos los medios de comunicación británicos han anunciado el fallecimiento de la cantante caída en desgracia Amy Winehouse. Nació el 14 de abril de 1983 y ha fallecido hoy en su apartamento de Londres. 

Su "Rehab" fue su primer gran éxito y ella no ha sido capaz de aplicarse el título a su vida personal. Finalmente las drogas han podido con ella a los 27 años.

La letra fue escrita por ella misma basándose en su vida personal. La producción estuvo a cargo de Mark Ronson para su segundo álbum de estudio, Back to Black (2006).

"Rehab" ganó tres Premios Grammy en 2008 en las categorías de "Mejor Grabación del año", "Canción del año" y "Mejor Interpretación Vocal Pop Femenina". La canción entro en el puesto número 194 de "las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos".




They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think you're depressed,
this me, yeah baby, and the rest'

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go  


La letra de esta canción cobra hoy, más que nunca, un significado especial. Descanse en paz esta joven víctima de la sociedad en la que le tocó vivir.
