Coisas phodásticas


Spain, premiadíssima compô de Chick Corea e Neville Potter, 1971. Lyrics: Al Jarreau. 
Superbem mandado aqui pelo Rare Silk, em gravaçao de 1983. Sing along, muito massa:




Just a photograph of yesterday
And all its edges folded and the corners faded sepia brown
And yet it's all I have of our past love: a postscript to its ending

Brighter days, I can see such brighter days
When every song we sang is sung again
And now we know this time it's for good
And we're lovers once again and you're near me

I can remember the rain in December
The leaves of brown on the ground

In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me

I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all my yesterdays
Yesterday I can say I get a kick every time
They play that Spain again

I can remember the rain in December
The leaves of brown on the ground

Our love was a Spanish fiesta
The bright lights and songs were our joy each day
And the nights were the heat of yearning

I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all my yesterdays
Yesterday I can say I get a kick everytime
I see you gaze at me

I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning

    1. Suave. Já estou acostumada.

      Eu sei que meu gosto musical encontra eco em mais uma meia dúzia de eventuais leitores, entre os quais:

      Celso Loch
      Rick's
      George Natividade
      Marco Leite
      Dico Kremer

      E já é gente pacará, em se tratando de jazz, CWB, Brazil.
