UTE LEMPER...
Uma cantora,

actriz...

artista!

Fiz mais uma aquisição da discografia de Ute Lemper,

o seu último álbum "Blood and Feathers".
No entanto, o meu preferido continua a ser o "Punishing Kiss".

"Tango Ballad" faz parte desse álbum.

É acompanhada por Neil Hannon, The Divine Comedy.

Como ainda não tive paciência para descobrir como se coloca música no blog,

deixo-vos aqui a letra.

Mas a voz, a garra e a Paixão com que esta Mulher canta...

é fantástico!

There was a time now very far away

When we set up together I and she
I got the brain and she supplied the breast
I saw her right and she looked after me
A way of life then if not quite the best

And when a client came I'd slide out of our bed
And treat him nice and go and have a drink instead
And when he paid up I'd address him "sir
Come any night you feel you fancy her"

That time's long past but what would I not give
To see that whore house where we used to live

That was the time now very far away
He was so sweet and bashed me where it hurt
And when the cash ran out the feathers really flew
He'd up and say I'm going to pawn your skirt
A skirt is nicer but no skirt will do

Just like his cheek he had me fairly stewing
I'd asked him straight to say what he thought he was going
Then he'd lash out and knock me headlong the stairs
I had the bruises off and on for years

That time's long past but what whould I not give
To see that whore house where we used to live

That was a time now very far away
Not that the bloody times seem to have looked up
When afternoons were all I had for you
I told you she was generally booked up
The night's more normal in the day time will do

And then a client came he'd slide out of our bed
And treat him nice and go and have a drink instead
And when he paid up I'd address him "sir
Come any night you feel you fancy her"

That time's long past but what would we not give
To see that whore house where we used to live
