La música soul supone llevar el corazón cosido a la solapa


Explanation:
No creo que sea aquí apropiado decir "llevar el corazón en un puño" porque eso significa estar tenso, nervioso, a la expectativa de algo. Llevar el corazón en la manga querría decir "tenerlo escondido", como los tahúres cuando llevan un as en la manga. Creo que "llevar el corazón cosido a la solapa" conserva el sentido del original: la música soul supone desgarrarse, mostrar el sentimiento en carne viva.

A ver qué piensan los demas...

In case someone got me wrong: \"cosido a la solapa\" means to me \"showing it to everybody\" (like a flower on your lapel), instead of hiding it!

neutral  MJ Barber: not really, Cid, you are confusing with "up your sleeve", which is where cards would be hidden.

  -> No, no, you got me all wrong, MJ, I mean "cosido a la solapa", EXPUESTO A LA VISTA DE TODOS, and not hidden!
