“Stand by Me” es una canción de 1961
interpretada por Ben E. King y compuesta por él mismo y por Jerry Leiber y Mike
Stoller (usando el seudónimo de Glick), quienes también produjeron el sencillo.
La canción fue adaptada a partir de un tema gospel.
Durante la
composición del tema, Ben E. King no tenía intención de grabarla, tal y como
declaró en una entrevista para el documental Historia del Rock 'n' Roll.
King había escrito el tema para The Drifters, cuyo mánager decidió, en un principio, no grabarla.
Fue incluida en su
tercer álbum en solitario, Don't Play That Song!, publicado por Atlantic
Records en 1962 y sería su segundo éxito en solitario, tras «Spanish Harlem»
(1961).
Fueron muchos los
intérpretes o conjuntos que la versionearon, como John Lennon, Prince, The
Police o Florence and the Machine.
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I wont be afraid
Noooo I wont be afraid
Just as long as you stand,stand by me
[chorus:]
So darlin, darlin stand by me
Ohhh stand by me
Ohhh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should crumble and fall
Or the mountain should tumble to the sea
no, I won't cry
no, I won't cry
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[chorus:]
And darlin, darlin stand by me
Ohhh stand by me
Ohhh stand, stand by me, stand by me [repeat]
when all your friends are gone
and you're left all alone
oh stand, stand by me
whenever you're in trouble
won't you stand by me
oh, stand by me, oh.
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I wont be afraid
Noooo I wont be afraid
Just as long as you stand,stand by me
[chorus:]
So darlin, darlin stand by me
Ohhh stand by me
Ohhh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should crumble and fall
Or the mountain should tumble to the sea
no, I won't cry
no, I won't cry
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[chorus:]
And darlin, darlin stand by me
Ohhh stand by me
Ohhh stand, stand by me, stand by me [repeat]
when all your friends are gone
and you're left all alone
oh stand, stand by me
whenever you're in trouble
won't you stand by me
oh, stand by me, oh.
