Gênio

Embora tivesse ciência das músicas clássicas, tais como Georgia on my mind, Hit the road Jack and Fever, confesso que não sabia muito sobre Ray Charles.
Depois de assistir ao filme, acabei baixando a trilha sonora para um amigo e me apaixonando.
O cd é uma compilação de blues e jazz de primeira que, honestamente, merece ser escutado, mesmo por aqueles que não são muito fãs do gênero.
Vou postar aqui uma das minhas canções favoritas (ao lado de Georgia on my mind), que foi gravada em dueto com Diana Krall.

You Don't Know Me

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello"
And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell, you think you know me well
But, you don't know me, no.

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you each night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
No you don't know me.

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you.

Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too.

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye".

I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
I Know you'll never know
The one who loved you so (no, you don't know me).

But I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.

Afraid and shy, that I let our chance go by
A chance that you might love me too.

You give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."

I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy

Oh, you'll never ever know

The one who loved you so.
No you don't know me

You will never ever know
The one who loved you so
No, you don't know me.
