John Coltrane

Para embalar a sexta, o sábado, a vida...

Alguns devem conhecer ou ter ouvido falar de John Coltrane (23/09/1926 - 17/07/1967). Tenho que confessar que não me lembro quando tive o primeiro contato com sua música. Mas gostei de cara. Só tenho um CD dele, na verdade uma compilação de suas melhores gravações de músicas de amor.

A música que mais gosto é "You're a weaver of dreams", algo como "O tecedor de sonhos". Achei estas duas versões, uma com ele e outra com Esperanza Spalding.

You're a weaver of dreams

You and your strange fascination

You're a weaver of dreams

You and your come-hither smile

Just to hear you speak

Can leave me weak as a babe in arms

Poor little babe in arms

Helpless before your charms

For you're a weaver of dreams

You and your lips warm and tender

Just like magic it seems

Thrilling, enchanting me too

I'm in your spell and there's no cure

I'm lost for sure

`Cause you're a weaver of dreams

And I'm in love with you.

(You're a weaver of dreams

You and your strange fascination

You're a weaver of dreams

You and your come hither smile)

I'm in your spell and there's no cure

I'm lost for sure

`Cause you're a weaver of dreams

And I'm in love with you.

(You're a weaver of dreams,

You're a weaver of dreams)
