Esta belleza fue compuesta por Stephen Sondheim para el musical llamado Assassins, y posiblemente sea la canción de amor más chingona jamás escrita.
En cierta parte de la obra, dos jóvenes, un hombre y una mujer, cantan en dueto Unworthy Of Your Love. Lo más hermoso de la canción es que se aleja de lo cotidiano por varias cosas.
Primero: no es una canción de amor ñoña. La letra es bastante fuerte.
Segundo: los muchachos no se están cantando entre ellos, como usualmente suele suceder, sino que cantan en dueto a sus respectivos amores.
Tercero: es una canción de amor loco; él le canta a Jodie Foster, pues se ha enamorado de ella en su papel de Taxi Driver; ella le canta a Charles Manson. ¿Quihubo?
Cuarto: ¿Mencioné que el musical se llama Assassins?
Aquí les va la letra:
[HINCKLEY]
I am nothing,
You are wind and water and sky,
Jodie.
Tell me, Jodie,
How I can earn you love.
I would swim oceans,
I would move mountains,
I would do anything for you.
What do you want me to do?
I am unworthy of your love,
Jodie, Jodie,
Let me prove worthy of you love.
Tell me how I can earn your love,
Set me free.
How can I turn your love
To me?
[FROMME]
I am nothing,
You are wind and devil and God,
Charlie,
Take my blood and my body
For your love.
Let me feel fire,
Let me drink poison,
Tell me to tear my heart in two,
If that's what you want me to do...
I am unworthy of you love,
Charlie darlin',
I have done nothing for your love.
Let me be worthy of your love,
Set me free-
[HINCKLEY]
I would come take you from you life...
[FROMME]
I would some take you from your cell...
[HINCKLEY]
You would be queen to me, not wife...
[FROMME]
I would crawl belly deep through hell...
[HINCKLEY]
Baby, I'd die for you...
[FROMME]
Baby, I'd die for you...
[HINCKLEY]
Even though-
[FROMME]
Even though-
[HINCKLEY]
I will always know:
[FROMME]
I will always know:
[HINCKLEY]
I am unworthy of
[FROMME]
I am unworthy of
[HINCKLEY]
Your love,
[FROMME]
Your love,
[HINCKLEY]
Jodie darlin',
[FROMME]
Charlie darlin',
[BOTH]
Let me worthy of your love.
I'll find a way to earn your love,
Wait and see.
Then you will turn your love to me,
Your love to me...
