Les Barraques Digitals

Rockabye és una cançó del grup d’electrònica Clean Bandit on Sean Paul i Anne-Marie actuen com a cantants. El tema ha estat número 1 als Estats Units durant set setmanes consecutives. Aquesta tracta de les dificultats de les mares solteres i al·ludeix a la cançó infantil Rock-a-bye Baby (“bressar al nadó” en català).

A continuació deixem la lletra:

Call it love and devotion
Call it the mom’s adoration
Foundation
A special bond of creation
For all the single mums out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-da-Paul, Anne-Marie

She works at nights, by the water
She’s going to stress, so far away
From my father’s daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She’s got to save him -daily struggle-

She tells him “uh, love, no one’s ever going to hurt you, love
I’m going to give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you”
-Stay out there, stay out there-
She tells him “your life ain’t going to be nothing like my life
You’re going to grow and have a good life
I’m going to do what I’ve got to do”
-Stay out there, stay out there-

So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I’m going to rock you
Rockabye baby, don’t you cry
Somebody’s got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I’m going to rock you
Rockabye baby, don’t you cry

Rockabye, no
–Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye–
Rockabye, oh yeah
-Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye-

Single mama you’re doing out there
Facing the hard life, without no fear -yeah-
Just so you know that you really care
Because any obstacle come
You’re well prepared
And no mama, you never set tear
Because you have to set things year to year
And you give the youth love beyond compare
You find his school fee and the bus fare
Marie, the paps disappear
In the round back can’t find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow, everything you know
You know, say you no stop
No time no time for you, dear

Now she’s got a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don’t know he’s safe
When she says “uh, love, no one’s ever going to hurt you
Love, I’m going to give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you”

So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I’m going to rock you
Rockabye baby, don’t you cry
Somebody’s got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I’m going to rock you
Rockabye baby, don’t you cry
-Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then-
Rockabye, no

-Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye-
Rockabye, yeah
-Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye-
Rockabye, don’t bother cry
Lift it up your hand, lift it up to the sky, you
Rockabye, don’t bother cry
It just ain’t right, you just dry your eyes

Now she’s got to a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don’t know he’s safe when she says
She tells him “uh, love, no one’s ever going to hurt you
Love, I’m going to give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you”
-Stay out there, stay out there-
She tells him “your life ain’t going to be nothing like my life
You’re going to grow and have a good life
I’m going to do what I’ve got to do”

So, rockabye baby, rockabye
-Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye-
I’m going to rock you
Rockabye baby, don’t you cry
-Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye-
Somebody’s got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
-Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye-
I’m going to rock you
Rockabye baby, don’t you cry
-Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then-
Rockabye, no
Rockabye, oh oh yeah

Rockabye, don’t bother cry
Lift it up your hand, lift it up to the sky, you
Rockabye
Rockabye, don’t bother cry
It just ain’t right, you just dry your eyes

Rockabye, yeah
Rockabye, don’t bother cry
Lift it up your hand, lift it up to the sky, you
Rockabye
Rockabye, don’t bother cry
It just ain’t right, you just dry your eyes.

En conclusió, recomanem aquesta cançó pel seu ritme enganxós i sobretot per la seva lletra profunda dedicada a les mares.
