I hate that I love you


Hoy, como se acerca San Valentín y llevo una época mas bitter que nunca, os paso un par de maneras distintas de decirle a alguien que le quieres.

La primera, un poema sacado de una película, Diez razones para odiarte (1999). Película tipo "teen" pero buenísima! Os la recomiendo, además de porque es muy entretenida, porque es una versión moderna de La Fierecilla Domada (The Taming of the Shrew) de Shakespeare y porque sale Heath Ledger, recientemente fallecido. Para ver a Julia Stiles recitando el poema, pinchad aqui.

Ten things I hate about you

I hate the way you talk to me
and the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind
I hate you so much it makes me sick
it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh
even worse when you make me cry

I hate it when you're not around
and the fact that you didn't call
But mostly I hate the way I don' t hate you
not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.


La segunda forma, variación sobre el mismo tema... se trata de una canción de Rihanna, adorada por mis alumnos. Aquí tenéis el vídeo y la letra:

Hate That I Love You

Yeaah heyy heyy
That's how much I love you (yeah)
That's how much I need you (yeah yeah yeah)
And I can't stand you
Must everything you do make me wanna smile?
And then I like you for a while. No...

But you won't let me
You upset me girl and then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forget that I was upset
Can't remember what you did

But I hate it
You know exactly what to do so that I can't stay mad at you for too long
That's wrong

But I hate it
You know exactly how to touch
So that I don't wanna fuss and fight no more
Said I despise that I adore you

And I hate how much I love you boy (yeah)
I can't stand how much I need you (I need you)
And I hate how much I love you boy (ohh)
But I just can't let you go
And I hate that I love you so (ooh)

And you completely know the power that you have
The only one that makes me laugh

Sad and it's not fair
How you take advantage of the fact that I...
Love you beyond a reason why (whyyy)
And it just ain't right

And I hate how much I love you girl
I can't stand how much I need you (yeah yeah)
And I hate how much I love you girl
But I just can't let you go
And I hate that I love you so

One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me
And your kiss will make me weak

But no one in this world
Knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me...
yeahhhhh ohhhh ohhhoh yeah


It's how much I love you
It's how much I need you
It's how much I love you (ohh)
It's how much I need you
And I hate that I love you
Sooooo

And I hate how much I love you boy
I can't stand how much I need you
And I hate how much I love you boy
But I just can't let you go
And I hate that I love you soo
And I hate that I love you soo sooo
