e já fez quarenta anos esta espécie de auto-retrato (descontando a parte do fumador)…

recordo hoje um azul do mais clássico que há, escrito pelo grande robert johnson e gravado originalmente em 1936. há dezenas de covers e esta é uma das mais recentes, do guitarrista steve miller que, quase a fazer setenta anos, mantém a energia de sempre.
Come on baby, don't you wanna go? Come on baby, don't you wanna go? Back to that same old place Sweet home Chicago
One and one is two Two and two is four The way I love you, little girl You'll never know Come on baby, don't you wanna go? Back to that same old place Sweet home Chicago
Four and two is six Six and two is eight Look here, baby Don't you hesitate Cryin', hey baby, don't you wanna go? Back to the same old place Sweet home Chicago
Come on baby, don't you wanna go? Come on baby, don't you wanna go? Back to that same old place Sweet home Chicago

se não estou enganado, esta foi a canção do verão de oitenta e três, que associo sempre ao fim do curso e a um inter-rail pela europa toda. ouvia-se isto em todo o lado, até na hungria pré-pós-pacto de varsóvia. trinta anos anos depois, ainda retém uma certa magia... I heat up, I can't cool down You got me spinnin' 'round and 'round 'Round and 'round and 'round it goes Where it stops nobody knows
Every time you call my name I heat up like a burnin' flame Burnin' flame full of desire Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher
Abra-abra-cadabra I want to reach out and grab ya Abra-abra-cadabra Abracadabra
You make me hot, you make me sigh You make me laugh, you make me cry Keep me burnin' for your love With the touch of a velvet glove
Abra-abra-cadabra I want to reach out and grab ya Abra-abra-cadabra Abracadabra
I feel the magic in your caress I feel magic when I touch your dress Silk and satin, leather and lace Black panties with an angel's face
I see magic in your eyes I hear the magic in your sighs Just when I think I'm gonna get away I hear those words that you always say
Abra-abra-cadabra I want to reach out and grab ya Abra-abra-cadabra Abracadabra
Every time you call my name I heat up like a burnin' flame Burnin' flame full of desire Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher
I heat up, I can't cool down My situation goes 'round and 'round I heat up, I can't cool down My situation goes 'round and 'round

Big
boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Big
boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Well

Got

Workin

But

Big
boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Big

Well

escrito por jimmy reed em 1959 (grande colheita, já se vê...), este azul perfeito teve inúmeras covers e destaco sempre a de steve miller, guitarrista mais dado a outros géneros, mas que é sempre brilhante quando revisita as raízes. Caress me baby Like the wind caress the trees Caress me baby Like the wind caress the trees I want you to love, love me baby Like a soft, soft summer breeze
Down by the river On a real moonlighted night Down by the river On a real moonlighted night I want to love, love you baby Everything will be all right
