Para um começo de semana sereno (XLI)

 

Deixa-me rir...

Esta música evocou em mim o mesmo que senti ao ouvir o Into my Arms do Nick Cave postado recentemente pelo PO: WOW... Perfeição em forma de música, de interpretação e de letra. Ainda mais perfeita será, na minha opinião, a versão de Nina Simone, gravada em Nova Iorque em 1965, que ouvi esta manhã na Antena 2 (aparentemente muito difícil de encontrar). Deixo-vos, assim, com a minha mais recente descoberta: Lilac Wine cantado por Jeff Buckley.

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see...
And be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because It brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...
