Cauby Peixoto - 80 anos

Pessoal, podem rir à vontade! Sim, o Cauby é o Cauby e eu gosto dele. Aliás, sou fã de carteirinha de "Conceição"... Tenho até um disco de 78 rotações dele.
Bem, hoje (10/02), ele comemora 80 anos e nada mais fashion do que colocá-lo aqui no meu blog.
Vcs sabiam que o Cauby é o único cantor brasileiro que canta em diversos idiomas (pelo menos os mais badalados: inglês, espanhol, francês, alemão e até japonês)? hehehehe - cultura caubyniana...
Aqui, uma entrevista concedida à Revista Época, com direito a viagem ao mundo brega, com plumas, paetês, muita purpurina...rs
Um beijo,
Graça

Don McLean- American Pie (with Lyrics)

AMERICAN PIE
Don McLean

Abaixo, duas explicações sobre a letra da música, que eu acho tão linda quanto "Vincent".


On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, killed three American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson.[1] The day was later called The Day the Music Died by Don McLean, in his song "American Pie"

Also the jester in verse three is Bob Dylan, as he toured in a coat he borrowed from James Dean. When the King (Elvis) was looking down (was drafted into the army) the jester (Bob Dylan) stole his thorny crown (became famous). When Elvis came back, he couldn't make any hits.

Don Mclean - And I Love You So

AND I LOVE YOU SO
Don McLean

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them I don’t know.

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been.
But life began again
The day you took my hand.

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening get me down
Now that you’re around me.


And you love me, too.
Your thoughts are just for me;
You set my spirit free.
I’m happy that you do.

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead.
That is my belief.

And, yes, I know how loveless life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening bring me down
Now that you’re around me.

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them, "i don’t know."

"Castles in the Air" Don McLean

CASTLES IN THE AIR
Don McLean

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of castles in the air.
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,
A dream come true, I’ll live there till I die.
I’m asking you to say my last goodbye.
The love we knew ain’t worth another try.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know I’m weak, but I can’t face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain,
Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain.

But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning,
In the hills, away from city strife.
I need a country woman for my wife;
I’m city born, but I love the country life.

For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation:
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.
The music plays and everyone must dance.
I’m bowing out. I need a second chance.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know I’m weak, but I can’t face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain,
Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain.

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of castles in the air.
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.
