De las buenas canciones americanas de siempre

Estas canciones ya pertenecen al repertorio de la humanidad. Quien no quiere que le cuenten un cuentito, quien no quiere escuchar una linda cancion, una agradable melodía  ... TODOS

La primera es la banda de la película *El mago de Oz*  pero hecha por un hawahiano nativo y obeso que toca el ukelele, el contraste del instrumento y el tamaño del interprete son notables.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW - KAMAKAWIWO

La otra es tambien una música de un film Good Morning Vietnam del recordado Robin Willams recientemente fallecido, cantada por el eterno Satchmo. El hawaiano las canta juntas pero preferi la version de Louis.

WHAT A WONDERFULL WORLD - LOUIS ARMSTRONG

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed the day, the dark sacred night

And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do

But they're really saying is I love you.

I hear baby's crying and I watched them grow

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know 

And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Ahora va de un crooner italo-americano para no ser menos, Perry Como cuyo nombre de pila era Pierino  para mas datos. Van in par de temas para que conozcan un timbre de voz superlativo y si no escuchen ...

PRISONER OF LOVE - PERRY COMO - 1946

Alone from night to night you'll find me

Too weak to break the chains that bind me

I need no shackles to remind me

I'm just a prisoner of love!

For one command I stand and wait now

From one who's master of my fate now

I can't escape for it's too late now

I'm just a prisoner of love!

What's the good of my caring

If someone is sharing those arms with me!

Although she has another

I can't have another, for I'm not free!

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping

Upon my knees to her I'm creeping

My very life is in her keeping

I'm just a prisoner of love

What's the good of my caring

If someone is sharing those arms with me!

Although she has another

I can't have another, for I'm not free!

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping

Upon my knees to her I'm creeping

My very life is in her keeping

I'm just a prisoner of love

Y porque no la version insuperable de este clásico de Navidad, con coro inclusive :-))
