Dos tiempos...dos canciones diferentes.

El otro día escuchábamos un Time after time interpretado por John Coltrane.

Es un tema clásico que por el título puede hacernos pensar en otra canción que con el mismo nombre popularizó Cindy Lauper y ha sido muy versionada también.

Os dejo las dos canciones,no tienen nada que ver entre ellas más que el tema del tiempo.

Time after time 

Frank Sinatra

Dinah Washington

Ella Fitzgerald

Sarah Vaughan

Ben Webster

Chet Baker

John Coltrane

Esta es la letra :

Time after time,

I tell myself that I'm

So lucky to be loving you,

So lucky to be

The one you long to see

In the evening when the day is through.

I only know what I know,

The passing years will show

You've kept my love so young, so new;

And time after time,

You'll hear me say that I'm

So lucky to be loving you.

Time after time 

Cindy Lauper

Eva Cassidy

Cassandra Wilson

Miles Davis

Y la letra : 

Lying in my bed i hear the clock tickin', think of you

turning in circles, confusion is nothing new

flashback to moon nights, almost left behind

a suitcase of memories, time after sometime 

You picture me, i'm walking too far ahead

you're calling to me, i can't hear what you have said

and you say, "go slow, i've fallen behind"

the second hand unwinds

if you're lost you can look and you will find me,

time after time

if you fall i will catch you, i'll be waiting,

time after time

if you fall i will catch you, i will be waiting,

time after time....time after time

After your picture fades and darkness has turned to grey

watching through windows, i'm wondering if you're ok

and you say, "go slow, i've fallen behind"

the drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me, time after time

if you fall i will catch you, i'll be waiting, time after time

if you fall i will catch you, i will be waiting, time after time

time after time

time after time

time after time

time after time

-----

A mí me gusta más la primera canción,sobre todo en la versión de Coltrane o Dinah Washington.

Pero cada uno...

Un beso atemporal,

Carmen.
