Reloj, no marques las
horas
Porque voy a enloquecer
Ella se irá para siempre
Cuando amanezca otra vez
No más nos queda esta
noche
Para vivir nuestro amor
Y tu tic-tac me recuerda
Mi irremediable dolor
Reloj, detén tu camino
Porque mi vida se apaga
Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser
Yo sin su amor no soy nada
Detén el tiempo en
tus manos
Haz esta noche perpetua
Para que nunca se vaya de mí
Para que nunca amanezca
Reloj, detén tu caminho
Porque mi vida se apaga
Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser
Yo sin su amor no soy nada
Detén el tiempo en
tus manos
Ooh, haz esta noche perpetua
Para que nunca se vaya de mí
Para que nunca amanezca.

GENRE: SOUL

Otis Ray Redding Jr. (September 9, 1941 –
December 10, 1967) was an American singer and songwriter. He is considered one
of the greatest singers in the history of American popular musicand a seminal artist in soul musicand rhythm and blues. Redding's style of singing gained
inspiration from the gospel music that preceded the genre. His singing style
influenced many other soul artists of the 1960s.
Redding was born in Dawson, Georgia, and at
the age of 2, moved to Macon, Georgia. Redding
quit school at age 15 to support his family, working with Little Richard's
backing band, the Upsetters,
and by performing in talent shows at the historic Douglass Theatre in Macon. In
1958, he joined Johnny Jenkins's band,
the Pinetoppers, with whom he toured the Southern states as a singer and
driver. An unscheduled appearance on a Staxrecording session led to a contract and his first single, "These Arms of Mine",
in 1962.
Stax released Redding's debut album, Pain in My Heart, two
years later. Initially
popular mainly with African-Americans, Redding later reached a wider American
pop music audience. Along with his group, he first played small shows in the
American South. He later performed at the popular Los Angeles
night club Whisky a Go Goand toured Europe, performing in London, Paris and other major
cities. He also performed at the Monterey Pop
Festivalin 1967.
Shortly before his death in a plane crash,
Redding wrote and recorded his iconic "(Sittin' On)
The Dock of the Bay" with Steve Cropper. The
song became the first posthumous number-one record on both the Billboard Hot 100and R&Bcharts. The álbum The Dock of
the Baywas the first posthumous album to reach
number one on the UK Albums Chart. Redding's premature death
devastated Stax. Already on the verge of bankruptcy, the label
soon discovered that the Atcodivision of Atlantic Recordsowned the rights to his entire song catalog.
Redding received many posthumous accolades,
including two Grammy Awards, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awardand induction into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame.
and the Songwriters
Hall of Fame. In addition to "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the
Bay," "Respect" and "Try a Little Tenderness" are among
his best-known songs.

Take a breath, take
it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun, and count to three
I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
And you can see my
heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger)
Say a prayer to
yourself
He says, close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here, means he's never lost
And you can see my
heart beating
Now you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
As my life flashes
before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life
And you can see my
heart beating
Now you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no!
I know that I must pass this test
And you can see my heart beating
Oh you can see it through my chest
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no!
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger).
