Rock: Canción #7: "Zombie" - The Cranberries

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

Zombie fue incluida en el album No Need to Argue, publicado en 1994 por el grupo irlandés The Cranberries. En poco tiempo se pudo percibir como este single se convertiría en un icono de la banda, asaltando las listas de éxitos de todo el mundo, con un #1 en los charts de Modern Rock, y dominando las listas de media Europa.

El tema gira en torno al conflicto de Irlanda del Norte, con una letra contundente y de una fuerza increible. Realmente impresiona y conmueve. Además, la voz de la solista Dolores O'Riordan no hace mas que poner un broche de oro a un tema que, sin duda, será recordado durante mucho tiempo.

Que recuerdos me trae está canción de mis tiempos mozos... (bueno, en realidad era un enano xD).
