Honesty

Nostálgico, me puse en la búsqueda de una canción de la cual no sabía el nombre, pero que era inevitable en La Hora del Gato, un programa de Radioactiva en el que la envidiable voz de Humberto Martínez ronroneaba a las primeras horas de la madrugada, por allá en el 95... conocía la melodía, y la busqué entre las 100 mejores baladas en inglés [donde efectivamente la encontré], para sorprenderme y emocionarme una vez más con el sentimiento y el piano de Billy Joel [nadie menos!!!].

Transcribo esta maravillosa letra, dejo el vínculo al video y le cedo la palabra a Joel, quien sabe exactamente todo lo que quiero decir:

If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
