Neste sábado, nossa faixa musical traz um dos grandes clássicos da música mundial: “New York, New York”, com o inesquecível Frank Sinatra.
Escrita originalmente para o filme de mesmo nome rodado em 1977 e com direção de Martin Scorsese, logo se transformou em um dos grandes “standards” da música mundial. Uma ode à “cidade que nunca dorme”.
Apresento aqui gravação do ano de 1982, obviamente na voz de Sinatra.
“New York, New York”
(John Kander e Fred Ebb)
Start spreading the news,
I’m leaving today
I want to be part of it,
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it,
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in a city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill,
Top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away.
I’ll make a brand new start of it,
In old New York.
If I can make it there,
I’ll make it anywhere.
It’s up to you,
New York, New York.
New York, New York.
I want to wake up in that city
That never sleeps
And find I’m a number one
Top of the list,
King of the hill,
A number one.
These little town blues
(all) melting away.
I’m gonna make
A brand new start of it
In old New York.
And if I can make it there,
I’m gonna make it anywhere.
It’s up to you,
New York,
New York!
New York!!
