Jazz Sessions (XIV)

Pocas mujeres han logrado cantar los temas de amor con el sentimiento y la sensualidad que imprimía a sus grabaciones Julie London. Me pasaría toda una noche escuchando esta canción: "Two Sleepy People". ¡Qué digo toda una noche! ¡Toda una vida!...

"Two Sleepy People" (Julie London)

Here we are, out of cigarettes,
Holding hands and yawning; look how late it gets,
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light,
And too much in love to say good-night.

Here we are, in the cozy chair,
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire;
Two sleepy people, with nothing to say,
And too much in love to break away.

Do you the remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Father didn't like you at all,
Do you remember the reason why we married in the Fall?
To get a bit of rest, and get this little nest.

Here we are, just about the same,
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame;
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light,
And too much in love to say good-night.

Si una voz puede calificarse de elegante, no hay duda entonces de que estamos ante el súmmum de la elegancia.
