Ao Domingo Há Música

CANÇÃO

Hoje venho dizer-te que nevou

no rosto familiar que te esperava.

Não é nada, meu amor, foi um pássaro,

a casca do tempo que caiu,

uma lágrima, um barco, uma palavra.

Eugénio de Andrade, " Canção", in " As Palavras interditas", Assírio&Alvim

A Música será sempre a " Precious Thing". Os sons, as vozes, o ritmo, a magia da interpretação, o prazer que  toma e transcende. Os momentos de grande deleite podem ser fugazes, mas intensos quando invocados.
Invocámos a poesia de Eugénio de Andrade e as vozes imperecíveis  de quatro grandes talentos: Ray Charles, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Diane Schuur e Tina Turner. Precious Thing, It Had to be You, Say no more e Let's stay together , quatro excelentes canções, quatro precious interpretações.

Let's say together

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Oh Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that, since
Since we've been together
Oh Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all I see

So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad.
