WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED LOVE?

É uma canção deliciosa de Cole Porter.

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve it's mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the lawd in heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?

(Cole Porter)

Há outra canção também muito boa sobre o mesmo tema: At Long Last Love. Você pode clicar e ouvir agora com The Voice - Frank Sinatra, que considero o melhor intérprete desse grande compositor.

At long last love (Cole Porter)

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real mccoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it granada I see or only asbury park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?

Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real mccoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it granada I see or only asbury park?
Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long long long last love?

Quando você ama você se sente criança?

Cole Porter consegue exprimir essa sensação, esse estado em que faltam as palavras, de uma forma genial. Porque é um grande músico, um poeta incrível!
