EL AMOR ESTÁ EN EL AIRE

En 1978, "Love Is In The Air", fue un popular tema que lanzó a la fama a un vocalista llamado John Paul Young. Ni emparentado con John Paul Jones, bajista de Led Zeppelin, ni con Paul Young, el cantante inglés que en 1985 impondría "Everytime You Go Away". Ni si quiera con el coautor del tema, George Young, hermano mayor de Malcolm y Angus de AC/DC.

A continuación el tema que fue interpretado por este One Hit Wonder australiano -aunque nacido en Glasgow, Escocia- que debe haber vivido feliz los últimos treinta años con lo que le dio la canción. Como dicen, a quien Dios se la dió, San Pedro se la bendiga.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR
(Harry Vanda, George Young)

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

(Coro)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
