Pet Shop Boys: It´s A Sin

Los británicos Pet Shop Boys no han parado de exprimir la fórmula que les dió a conocer a mediados de los 80 y les abrió las puertas del éxito. La utilización de sonidos dance/electrónicos abarrotados con una absorbente producción, y melodías muy comerciales, les han consagrado como uno de los dúos más conocidos de la música pop, llegando a vender más de 100 millones de discos.

"It's a Sin" es uno de los temas que les catapultó al número 1 de medio mundo, al igual que a todas las pistas de baile de cualquier discoteca que se considerara estar en la onda de la moda. Pertenecía a su segundo disco, Actually, logrando repetir y aumentar el buen sabor de boca de "West End Girls" y "Suburbia" de su disco de debut.

Letra

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimiscogitatione,
verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maximaculpa)
[trans. "I confess to almighty god,
and to you my brothers,
that I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word, act and omission,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault"]
