Chris de Burgh

O argentino-irlandês que canta em inglês, aquela música romântica arrebatadora, com uma voz de amor-presente-para-sempre-suspira-me-ao-ouvido! I love it! Sim... anos 80, 90 e 2000... regressa agora com um álbum de versões Footsteps.

O Chris tem uma discografia que nunca mais acaba, de versões e originais. Eu tenho apenas o álbum Love Songs e já chega para me levar às lágrimas nos dias em que acabo com os lenços de papel, de preferência com trovoada.

Gosto particularmente do: Missing You; So Beautiful; Borderline; The head and the heart; Separate Tables; Forevermore; Woman's Heart; Fatal Hesitation

The cafes are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town,
In the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home...

I'm never going to love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know that I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation...

I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no;

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away;

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation...

I'm going to read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn't matter any more,
I'm going to miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit...

E claro... não me posso esquecer a música fetiche deste senhor e que na minha opinião é uma paixão mal resolvida pela bela Princesa do Povo... muito anterior à morte desta... coisa bonita! Lady in Red
