50 Aniversario de Jolene de Dolly Parton

"Jolene", la canción y el álbum homónimo están cumpliendo 50 años éste 4 de febrero de 2024. Single y LP se convirtieron en emblemas de la carrera de Dolly Parton pasando a formar parte del Salón de la Fama de los Grammy y teniendo un sin fin de versiones, incluyendo la de su ahijada Miley Cyrus.

 Jolene es la canción de Dolly más grabada en todo el mundo a lo largo de los años. Dicen que se ha grabado cuatrocientas veces, ya sea en otro idioma, o en grabaciones de "garage". Es una canción donde muchas mujeres pueden identificarse con ella.

 Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your skin is soft like summer rain
And I can not compete with you, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
And you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
Cause he's the only one for me, Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
