5 noiembrie 2011 – Suzanne Vega – I´ll Never be your Maggie May

De Folkblog la data November 5, 2011   in Rubrica PIESA ZILEI

Astăzi vă invit din nou să ascultaţi un cântec de peste hotare, de data aceasta unul compus şi interpretat de Suzanne Vega.

“I’ll I´ll Never be your Maggie May” (o replică la piesa lui Rod Steward “Maggie May” )  a apărut pe albumul “Songs in Red and Gray” lansat la A&M Records în anul 2001.

Vă doresc audiţie plăcută!

I’ll never be your Maggie May,
the one you loved and left behind,
the face you see in light of day
and then you cast away,
that isn’t me in that bed you’ll find.

I’d rather take myself away,
be like those ladies in Japan,
rather paint myself a face,
conjure up some grace,
or be the eyes behind a fan.

And so you go,
no girl could say no
to you.

There’s the way I may appear,
but that will change from day to night,
could you ever see within,
underneath the skin?
could I believe you had that sight?

And so you go,
no girl could say no
to you.

I’ll never be your Maggie May,
the one you loved and then forgot,
I’ll love you first and let you go
because it must be so
and you’ll forgive or you will not.

And so a woman leaves a man,
and so a world turns on it’s end,
so I’ll see your face in dreams
where nothing’s what it seems,
so you appear some kind of friend.

And so you go,
no girl could say no
to you.
