MUCHACHA DORMIDA




****




Mister Sandman, bring me a dream.
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen.
Give her two lips like roses in clover.
Then tell her that her lonesome nights are over.

Sandman, I'm so alone.
Don't have nobody to call my own.
Please turn on your magic beam.
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream.

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream.
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen.
Give her the word that I'm not a rover
And tell her that her lonesome nights are over.

Sandman, I'm so alone.
Don't have nobody to call my own.
Please turn on your magic beam.
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream.

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream.
Give her a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam
Give her a lonely heart like Paliaci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace

Mister Sandman, someone to hold.
Would be so peachy before we're too old.
So please turn on your magic beam.
Mister Sandman, bring us,
Please, please, please,
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream.

NOTA FINAL.- La canción original (compuesta por Pat Ballard en 1954) pretendía ser un éxito navideño, y la letra decía "Mr. Santa", en referencia a Santa Claus, al que se pedía nos trajera un amor. Pero no tuvo éxito y se cambió por "Mr. Sandman" (El Hombre de la Arena), personaje de la mitología anglosajona que se supone trae el sueño echando arena mágica sobre las personas. En este caso se le ruega nos haga soñar con una persona ideal a la que poder amar.
El tema fue un éxito rotundo con las "Chordettes".
Felices sueños.

EL VIAJE INICIÁTICO

-“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
-“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,”- said the Cat.
-“I don’t much care where”- said Alice.
-“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go
