Neste s\u00e1bado estarei assistindo ao vivo ao show do legend\u00e1rio B.B. King, mais uma vez no Vivo Rio. \u00c9 o show de estreia da perna brasileira da turn\u00ea mundial “The Blues is My Life”, que resume bem a vida do g\u00eanio.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ser\u00e3o cinco shows, este carioca, um em Curitiba e mais tr\u00eas apresenta\u00e7\u00f5es em S\u00e3o Paulo. Prestes a completar 87 anos o grande artista nem pensa em parar de tocar sua “Lucille”. King trar\u00e1 sua banda, com oito integrantes, para os shows.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Uma curiosidade: assim como faz nos seus shows americanos, B.B. King ir\u00e1 circular entre as cidades de \u00f4nibus, especialmente adaptado para ele. O coletivo possui dois andares e um quarto para a estrela do blues.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pessoalmente estarei me redimindo de n\u00e3o ter estado no \u00faltimo show, em 2010 – estava fora do Rio a trabalho. Adquiri meus ingressos h\u00e1 bastante tempo, mas ainda h\u00e1 alguns poucos lugares no momento em que escrevo.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nossa m\u00fasica n\u00e3o poderia ser outra: “Why I Sing The Blues”, em grava\u00e7\u00e3o de 1974 – curiosamente, o ano em que nasci. Abaixo disponibilizo a letra em ingl\u00eas, que \u00e9 uma profiss\u00e3o de f\u00e9 na m\u00fasica.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
“Why I Sing The Blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

Well, i’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I really have paid my dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When i first got the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
They brought me over on a ship<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Men were standing over me<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
And a lot more with a whip<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
And everybody wanna know<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

Well, i’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Mm, i’ve really paid my dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’ve laid in a ghetto flat<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Cold and numb<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I heard the rats tell the bedbugs<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
To give the roaches some<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Everybody wanna know<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Why i’m singing the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Yes, i’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
People, i’ve paid my dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I stood in line<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Down at the county hall<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I heard a man say, “we’re gonna build<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Some new apartments for y’all”<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
And everybody wanna know<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Yes, they wanna know<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

Gonna grow up to be a fool<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

No more room for him in school<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
And everybody wanna know<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Everybody wanna know<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Why i’m singing the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I say i’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Yeah, you know the company told me<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Guess you’re born to lose<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Everybody around me, people<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
It seems like everybody got the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
But i had ‘em a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I’ve really, really paid my dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
You know i ain’t ashamed of it, people<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I just love to sing my blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I walk through the cities, people<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
On my bare feet<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Up in downbill street<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
You know i’m singing the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Yes, i really<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I just have to sing my blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
People, i’ve really, really paid my dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now father time is catching up with me<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Gone is my youth<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I look in the mirror everyday<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
And let it tell me the truth<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I’m singing the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Mm, i just have to sing the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Yes, yes, i’ve really paid some dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yeah, they told me everything<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Would be better out in the country<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Everything was fine<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I caught me a bus uptown, baby<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
And every people, all the people<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Got the same trouble as mine<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I got the blues, huh huh<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I say i’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I’ve really paid some dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
One more time, fellows!<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Blind man on the corner<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Begging for a dime<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
The rollers come and caught him<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
And throw him in the jail for a crime<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I got the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Mm, i’m singing my blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Mm, i’ve really paid some dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Can we do just one more?<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oh i thought i’d go down to the welfare<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
To get myself some grits and stuff<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
But a lady stand up and she said<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
“you haven’t been around long enough”<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
That’s why i got the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Mm, the blues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I say, i’ve been around a long time<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
I’ve really, really paid my dues<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fellows, tell them one more time.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ha, ha, ha. that’s all right, fellows.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Yeah!”<\/i><\/p>\n
P.S. – Assisti no \u00faltimo s\u00e1bado \u00e0 montagem brasileira do musical\u00a0 “O M\u00e1gico de Oz” aqui no Rio. Infelizmente n\u00e3o tive tempo de escrever post sobre a supreprodu\u00e7\u00e3o musical, mas gostei bastante. Recomendo.
