Supertramp – Breakfast in America

2007 Julio 27
by Carlos Jumbo G.

Breakfast in America es uno de los grandes éxitos de Supertramp que apareció en el año 1979, pertenece al álbum del mismo nombre que llegó a convertirse en el número 3 en las listas británicas y número 1 en los Estados Unidos (Wikipedia)

Como dice Martins, una canción viejita, altamente comercial, sin mayores pretensiones en la letra, sin embargo, tiene un toque y una sonoridad que la hace actual siempre.

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ´em in Texas
Cos everyone’s a millionaire

I´m a winner, I´m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I´m a loser what a joker
I´m playing my jokes upon you
While there´s nothing better to do

Don´t you look at my girlfriend
She´s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do.
