Mas afinal o que se passa com Where do you go to my lovely (sim, a mesma de Hotel Chevalier, o tal da Natalie Portman menos vestida)?
Ouçam esta versão:
Ouviram???? E qual é a grande diferença para esta outra versão:
Perceberam? Mas porque raio não se fala aqui da festas nas embaixadas hein??? Mas porque não se fala aqui do russo e do grego? Vá? Alguém me explica? Mas isto é censura vintage?
Aqui fica a letra da versão long play (a primeira ai em cima). E já agora, este é um post porque sim, porque me apetece, porque estou naqueles dias, porque o Inverno chega aos poucos e com ele uma inspiração por vezes taciturna mas quase sempre sublime…
Where Do You Go To My Lovely
by Peter Sarstedt
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there’s diamonds and pearls in your hairYou live in a fancy apartment
Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha DistelYou go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circle
They hang on every word you speak, yes I do…But where do you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do…I’ve seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it doesWhen you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pines
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs
When the snow falls you’re found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wetBut where do you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
(Won’t you) Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I doYou’re in-between twenty an thirty –
A very desirable age
Your body’s firm and inviting
But you live on a glittering stateYour name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh ahahaThey say that when you get married
It’ll be to a millionaire
But they don’t realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, they give a damnWhere do you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your headI remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they trySo look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you doI know where you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
`Cause I can look inside your head
p.s. Ao que consta ai pelos cantos da Internet, há muito a dizer sobre esta musica…
