Música celestial
Um dos meus pequenos amores musicais é o (incompreensivelmente!) pouco conhecido Perry Blake, um trovador irlandês com alma de poeta e voz de anjo.
Hoje estou a recuperar o lindíssimo "Broken Statues", gravado ao vivo em Bruxelas, em Setembro de 2000, no âmbito do Festival Nuits Botanique.
Para além dos seus magníficos originais, foi nesse dia que ficou gravada para sempre uma original e comovente versão de "I'm Still Waiting", um tema de Deke Richards, popularizado por Diana Ross.
Eis a versão blakeana desse clássico:
"I remember when
I was five and you were ten, girl
You knew that I was shy
So you teased and made me cry
But I loved you
Then one day you came
You told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame
And made me cry again
When you said
Little boy
Please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love
One day will surely come
Ooh, little boy
Please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love
One day will surely come
And I’m still waiting
Ooh, still waiting
Ooh, still waiting
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
To keep waiting
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
Then someone finally came
She told me that she loved me
I put her off with lies
She could see I had no eyes
So she left me once again alone
Like a child without a playmate
I had to face the truth
I was still in love with you
But you said:
Little boy
Please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love
One day will surely come
Ooh, little boy
Please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love
One day will surely come
And I’m still waiting
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
To keep waiting
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
To keep waiting
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
