With or without you



El 11 de Julio estuvo aqui en Paris U2.

Podria describir con todo detalle el concierto, pero el punto importante fue mi experiencia personal durante un momento. El encore, incluyo With or Without you. El video arriba lo tomo alguien mas, pero es de el concierto donde estabamos. En algun momento, incluso, empezo a llover, y se veian las gotas de lluvia caer sobre el escenario. Decenas de miles de personas cantando a coro.

Pero junto a mi, dos personas. Una de ellas, en el primer concierto de su vida. Cantando toda la letra, viendo de frente, feliz. Cantando conmigo una cancion que me recuerda a mis mejores amigos.

Y otra persona, un poco mas grande, a quien tengo agarrada de la mano, quien me voltea a ver mientras canta "I can't live with or without you", con solo la mirada, ni una sola palabra, me dice tantas cosas.

Cada momento de mi vida me ha llevado ahi. Cada decision. Cada error. A estar ahi, sintiendo lo mismo juntos.

No cambiaria ni un solo momento de mi vida. Ni los dolorosos.

Gracias por estar conmigo.

Yo creo que mas, el recuerdo.

U2 was here in Paris on July 11.

I could describe the concert with a great deal of detail, but the important point was my personal experience during some moments. The encore included With or Without you. EThe video abovw was taken by someone else, but is from this concert we were at. It is not clear there, but at some point, it even started to rain and you could see it flowing on to the stage. Tens of thousands of people singing the words.

But next to me, two persons. One of them, at her first ever concert. Singing all the words by heart, looking straight to the stage, happy. Singing with me a song that reminds me of my best friends.

And the other person, a bit bigger, and as I am holding her hand, looks back at me while she sings "I can't live with or without you", with just her eyes, no words, she tells me everything.

Every single moment of my life has taken me there. Every decision. Every mistake. To being there, feeling the same thing together.

I would not change a moment of my life. Not even the painful ones.

Thanks for being with me.

I think most of them, they remind me of something.
