SEPTIEMBRE

Do you remember the

21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away



Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away



Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day




My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

GRAFITIS (II)

GRAFITI

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain



My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

TARDE DE AGOSTO

Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man



Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

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.

Y, tras la clásica y perfecta interpretación de las "Chordettes", ofrecemos a continuación esta maravilla del maestro Chet Atkins:



Y no he podido resistirme a colgar la refrescante y cristalina versión de los "Pomplamoose", grupo que adoro:

****

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.

HARMONY

****

The time has come, let us begin
With all our voices joining in,
To sing of love and brotherhood
People doing what they should to
Help there fellow-man be free
And fill this land with harmony,
The young, and old, the rich, the poor...
Making sounds never heard before.



Harmony, harmony, let's all join in harmony
Sing away the hurt and fear
A great new day will soon be here.

Like the shepherd guards his sheep,
Watch your children as they sleep,
Like the potter turns his clay...
Help to shape a better day and
Let us sing a song of love...
There's one thing I'm certain of...
Love will fill the hearts of men
Peace will come on earth once again.

Harmony, harmony, let's all join in harmony
Sing away the hurt and fear
A great new day will soon be here.

Harmony, harmony, let's all join in harmony
Sing of love, and brotherhood
And people doing wath they should

Harmony, harmony, let's all join in harmony
Sing of love, and brotherhood
It’s when think sing in
Harmony, oh harmony, oh harmony, oh harmony!

KISS

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together



I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

We're walking like in a Dolce Vita
This time we've got it right
We're living like in a Dolce Vita
Mmh gonna dream tonight



We're dancing like in a Dolce Vita
With lights and music on
Our love is made in the Dolce Vita
Nobody else than you

It's our last night
Together with our love again
Another light
Before we're thrown in darkness
Say you'll never leave me now
Say you're gonna love me now

We've made it down in the Dolce Vita
Wipe all your fears away
We live it like in the Dolce Vita
A game of yesterday

I'm so alone in the Dolce Vita
Oh baby telephone
This magic's gone in the Dolce Vita
Nobody else than you

It's our last night
Together with our love again
Another light
Before we're thrown in darkness
Say you'll never leave me now
Say you're gonna love me

It's our last night
Together with our love again
Another light
Before we're thrown in darkness
Say you'll never leave me now
Say you're gonna love me now

No milk today my love is gone away
The bottle stands forlorn a symbol of the dawn
No milk today it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why



How could they know just what this message means
The end of all my hopes the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today it wasn't always so
The company was gay we turn'd night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up to down

No milk today it wasn't always so
The company was gay we turn'd night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once the start of our romance
