1a canzone al giorno

Oggi si va di.... originale. Ho già messo la cover della canzone di oggi ad opera dei Dik Dik dal titolo "Senza luce". L'originale, uscita nel 1967, è dei Procol Harum e si intitola "A whiter shade of pale" dall'album che prende il nome proprio del gruppo britannico. La canzone è davvero bella ed è bella anche la cover dei mitici Dik Dik. E anche oggi è andata e penso anche andata bene! Buon ascolto!!

A whiter shade of pale (Procol Harum)

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda' seasick
the crowd called out for more
the room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
when we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray

and so it was that later
as a mirror told its tale
that her face at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale

She said: "There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see"
but I wandered through my playing cards
would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might just as well've been closed

and so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale
