Superman Is Dead
Oh what a thought it would be, to stop muggars and robbers with lazer beams. oh what a sight, a sight to see, the world from above, the ocean glistening...
Fighting tycoons and tyrants alike, in space, on ships and even at night. risking certain death, in red and blue tights. he was superman. he wasn't just a man. he wasn't just an icon. he was a hero, a symbol of freedom, compassion and hope.
And when christopher reeves fell off that horse and broke his neck, we all said thats ironic, ka-click, and went to bed. we took for granted what he endured, and what his role stood for. children watched him and they wanted to help people. now they watch g-unit brag about killing people. i hope you remember him when you see them in need, because superman is dead.
Superman está muerto
Oh, qué pensamiento sería, detener a ladrones y asaltantes con rayos láser. Oh, qué vista, una vista para ver, el mundo desde arriba, el océano brillando...
Luchando contra magnates y tiranos por igual, en el espacio, en naves e incluso de noche. Arriesgando una muerte segura, con mallas rojas y azules. Él era superman. No era solo un hombre. No era solo un ícono. Era un héroe, un símbolo de libertad, compasión y esperanza.
Y cuando Christopher Reeves cayó de ese caballo y se rompió el cuello, todos dijimos que irónico, ka-ching, y nos fuimos a la cama. Dábamos por sentado lo que él soportaba y lo que su papel representaba. Los niños lo veían y querían ayudar a la gente. Ahora ven a g-unit jactarse de matar gente. Espero que lo recuerdes cuando los veas necesitados, porque superman está muerto.
