Annie Lennox
A Whiter Shade of Pale
Μουσική - Στίχοι: Gary Brooker-Keith Reid-Matthew Fisher
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray
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
She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well 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
She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.
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
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
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
--------------------------------------------

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder

When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
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
She said, there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have 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
She said, I'm home on shore leave,
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride.
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
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
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front

(1995)
Dame ANNIE LENNOX, OBE (Aberdeen, 25 de dezembro de 1954) é uma premiada cantora escocesa, conhecida por ser vocalista do grupo Eurythmics. DAME é uma estilização de honra das ordens de cavalaria do Reino Unido. É o equivalente de "Sir" para cavaleiros. Uma mulher apontada para a Ordem do Banho, Ordem de São Miguel e São Jorge, Real Ordem Vitoriana, ou Ordem do Império Britânico se torna uma Dame. Mulheres membro da Ordem da Jarreteira ou Ordem do Cardo não são chamadas de "Dame" mas de "Lady". A mais nova mulher apontada como dame foi Ellen MacArthur, com 28 anos. A mais velha foi Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies com 100. Um grande número de figuras notáveis, como Vanessa Redgrave, negaram a estilização. Antigamente, a mulher de um Cavaleiro recebia o título de Dame, mas esse costume foi trocado pela nomeação de "Lady" no século dezessete.
Biografia
Filha única, Annie foi extremamente cuidada pelos pais e desde cedo mostrou pendão para as artes e ainda menina aprendeu a tocar piano, flauta, além de cantar em corais e estudar dança. A jovem Annie era apaixonada pela música negra, especialmente os artistas da Motown, como Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin e The Supremes. Aos dezessete anos, resolveu se mudar para Londres e foi estudar na Royal Academy of Music. Durante três anos estudou música erudita e sobrevivia fazendo pequenos serviços, como o de garçonete. Annie confessa que foi muito infeliz nos estudos, abandonando a escola semanas antes dos exames finais, para desconsolo dos pais, que sonhavam em ver a filha famosa. Um de seus empregos nessa época foi trabalhar em uma loja de discos, onde conheceu Steve Tomlin, com quem teria uma amizade longa. Foi aí que Annie resolveu seguir a carreira musical, tendo a cantora canadense Joni Mitchell como grande inspiração. Assim, ela se juntou ao grupo Dragon's Playground e Red Brass. Ao lado da amiga Joy Dey, tentou montar uma dupla vocal com o nome Stocking Tops, o que não deu muito certo. Corria o ano de 1976, quando Annie resolveu arranjar um emprego de garçonete para poder sobreviver, no Pippins Restaurant, em Hampstead. Foi lá que iria conhecer David A. Stewart, seu futuro parceiro no Eurhytmics. Em 2004, ganhou o Globo de Ouro e o Oscar por conta da canção-tema de O Senhor dos Anéis: O Retorno do Rei, ao lado de Fran Walsh e Phillipa Boyens, ambas da equipe de produção da trilogia. Annie sempre foi engajada em causas sociais. Em 2009 ela criou sua própria campanha chamada Sing, destinada a apoiar mulheres e crianças vitimas do vírus HIV no continente africano.
Carreira
Annie Lennox é considerada um dos maiores ícones femininos da música. Ela nunca teve um gênero definido. Cantou new wave, pop/rock, pop e outros diversos estilos musicais. É considerada a maior cantora branca de Soul. Foi nomeada por dois anos consecutivos, a maior cantora britânica. É influência para diversas estrelas femininas da música, tais como: Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Joss Stone, Christina Aguilera entre outras. Em Setembro de 2011, Annie recebeu uma homenagem no museu britânico V&A em que foram expostos seus principais figurinos usados desde sua carreira no Eurythmics até sua carreira solo, incluindo roupas desenhadas pela própria Lennox.
Vida privada
Annie Lennox foi casada duas vezes. Seu mais longo relacionamento foi com o produtor de cinema israelita Uri Fruchtmann, com quem teve suas duas únicas filhas, as modelos Lola Lennox e Tali Lennox. No começo de 2011, Annie anunciou que provavelmente não mais fará turnês musicais por problemas na coluna e também pela idade. último álbum foi lançado em dezembro de 2010, intitulado "A Christmas Cornucopia".

Dançamos o fandango suave
Girando pelo salão
Eu estava meio tonto
Mas a multidão queria mais
E o pessoal comentava cada vez mais
Enquanto o teto rodava
Quando pedimos outra bebida
O garçom trouxe uma bandeja
E foi mais tarde...
Que seu rosto a princípio apenas fantasmagórico...
Ficou ainda mais pálida...

Ιταλική Μετάφραση.....
Ignorammo le luci del Fandango*
Come i carrelli che giravano sul pavimento
Sentivo una specie di mal di mare
Ma la folla chiedeva il bis
Nella stanza il mormorio era così forte
Da far volar via il soffitto
Quando chiedemmo ancora da bere
Il cameriere arrivò con un vassoio
E fu così che poi
Mentre il mugnaio** raccontava la sua storia
Il volto di lei, dapprima solo spettrale,
Schiarì in un'ombra pallida
Lei disse: "Non c'è motivo
Lo vedi da solo come stanno le cose"
Ma io vagavo fra le mie carte da gioco
E non avrei permesso che lei fosse
Una delle sedici vergini vestali
In partenza per la costa
E anche se i miei occhi erano aperti
Sarebbe stato lo stesso se fossero stati chiusi
E fu così…
--------------------------------------------
- comprensione del testo -
C'è un lui, ubriaco al punto di aver l'impressione d'esser su una nave, tanto da vivere in un'atmosfera surreale; surreale è anche la ragazza che, pallida più del pallido, gli sta dicendo che tutto è finito ("Non c'è motivo. Lo vedi da solo come stanno le cose"). La folla intorno, i rumori, lo colpiscono e si dilatano. Sente la voce della sua ragazza, mentre continua ad esser perduto nelle sue carte da gioco; la "sente" come una vestale, pronta al sacrificio estremo, quasi non fosse lei a decidere la fine della loro storia, ma un dio crudele e potentissimo. La salverà, si dice, non permetterà tutto questo ....... ma non gli è possibile entrare in contatto con la realtà, tanto che i suoi occhi aperti, potrebbero benissimo esser chiusi tanta è la distanza tra lui e quello che gli sta intorno.
* Il Fandango è da intendersi qui come locale ballo.
** Il mugnaio è un personaggio bizzarro di una novella.

Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.
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
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
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

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray
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
She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well 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
She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"

(1995)
Dame ANNIE LENNOX, OBE (Aberdeen, 25 de dezembro de 1954) é uma premiada cantora escocesa, conhecida por ser vocalista do grupo Eurythmics. DAME é uma estilização de honra das ordens de cavalaria do Reino Unido. É o equivalente de "Sir" para cavaleiros. Uma mulher apontada para a Ordem do Banho, Ordem de São Miguel e São Jorge, Real Ordem Vitoriana, ou Ordem do Império Britânico se torna uma Dame. Mulheres membro da Ordem da Jarreteira ou Ordem do Cardo não são chamadas de "Dame" mas de "Lady". A mais nova mulher apontada como dame foi Ellen MacArthur, com 28 anos. A mais velha foi Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies com 100. Um grande número de figuras notáveis, como Vanessa Redgrave, negaram a estilização. Antigamente, a mulher de um Cavaleiro recebia o título de Dame, mas esse costume foi trocado pela nomeação de "Lady" no século dezessete.
Biografia
Filha única, Annie foi extremamente cuidada pelos pais e desde cedo mostrou pendão para as artes e ainda menina aprendeu a tocar piano, flauta, além de cantar em corais e estudar dança. A jovem Annie era apaixonada pela música negra, especialmente os artistas da Motown, como Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin e The Supremes. Aos dezessete anos, resolveu se mudar para Londres e foi estudar na Royal Academy of Music. Durante três anos estudou música erudita e sobrevivia fazendo pequenos serviços, como o de garçonete. Annie confessa que foi muito infeliz nos estudos, abandonando a escola semanas antes dos exames finais, para desconsolo dos pais, que sonhavam em ver a filha famosa. Um de seus empregos nessa época foi trabalhar em uma loja de discos, onde conheceu Steve Tomlin, com quem teria uma amizade longa. Foi aí que Annie resolveu seguir a carreira musical, tendo a cantora canadense Joni Mitchell como grande inspiração. Assim, ela se juntou ao grupo Dragon's Playground e Red Brass. Ao lado da amiga Joy Dey, tentou montar uma dupla vocal com o nome Stocking Tops, o que não deu muito certo. Corria o ano de 1976, quando Annie resolveu arranjar um emprego de garçonete para poder sobreviver, no Pippins Restaurant, em Hampstead. Foi lá que iria conhecer David A. Stewart, seu futuro parceiro no Eurhytmics. Em 2004, ganhou o Globo de Ouro e o Oscar por conta da canção-tema de O Senhor dos Anéis: O Retorno do Rei, ao lado de Fran Walsh e Phillipa Boyens, ambas da equipe de produção da trilogia. Annie sempre foi engajada em causas sociais. Em 2009 ela criou sua própria campanha chamada Sing, destinada a apoiar mulheres e crianças vitimas do vírus HIV no continente africano.
Carreira
Annie Lennox é considerada um dos maiores ícones femininos da música. Ela nunca teve um gênero definido. Cantou new wave, pop/rock, pop e outros diversos estilos musicais. É considerada a maior cantora branca de Soul. Foi nomeada por dois anos consecutivos, a maior cantora britânica. É influência para diversas estrelas femininas da música, tais como: Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Joss Stone, Christina Aguilera entre outras. Em Setembro de 2011, Annie recebeu uma homenagem no museu britânico V&A em que foram expostos seus principais figurinos usados desde sua carreira no Eurythmics até sua carreira solo, incluindo roupas desenhadas pela própria Lennox.
Vida privada
Annie Lennox foi casada duas vezes. Seu mais longo relacionamento foi com o produtor de cinema israelita Uri Fruchtmann, com quem teve suas duas únicas filhas, as modelos Lola Lennox e Tali Lennox. No começo de 2011, Annie anunciou que provavelmente não mais fará turnês musicais por problemas na coluna e também pela idade. último álbum foi lançado em dezembro de 2010, intitulado "A Christmas Cornucopia".

Dançamos o fandango suave
Girando pelo salão
Eu estava meio tonto
Mas a multidão queria mais
E o pessoal comentava cada vez mais
Enquanto o teto rodava
Quando pedimos outra bebida
O garçom trouxe uma bandeja
E foi mais tarde...
Que seu rosto a princípio apenas fantasmagórico...
Ficou ainda mais pálida...

Ιταλική Μετάφραση.....
Ignorammo le luci del Fandango*
Come i carrelli che giravano sul pavimento
Sentivo una specie di mal di mare
Ma la folla chiedeva il bis
Nella stanza il mormorio era così forte
Da far volar via il soffitto
Quando chiedemmo ancora da bere
Il cameriere arrivò con un vassoio
E fu così che poi
Mentre il mugnaio** raccontava la sua storia
Il volto di lei, dapprima solo spettrale,
Schiarì in un'ombra pallida
Lei disse: "Non c'è motivo
Lo vedi da solo come stanno le cose"
Ma io vagavo fra le mie carte da gioco
E non avrei permesso che lei fosse
Una delle sedici vergini vestali
In partenza per la costa
E anche se i miei occhi erano aperti
Sarebbe stato lo stesso se fossero stati chiusi
E fu così…
--------------------------------------------
- comprensione del testo -
C'è un lui, ubriaco al punto di aver l'impressione d'esser su una nave, tanto da vivere in un'atmosfera surreale; surreale è anche la ragazza che, pallida più del pallido, gli sta dicendo che tutto è finito ("Non c'è motivo. Lo vedi da solo come stanno le cose"). La folla intorno, i rumori, lo colpiscono e si dilatano. Sente la voce della sua ragazza, mentre continua ad esser perduto nelle sue carte da gioco; la "sente" come una vestale, pronta al sacrificio estremo, quasi non fosse lei a decidere la fine della loro storia, ma un dio crudele e potentissimo. La salverà, si dice, non permetterà tutto questo ....... ma non gli è possibile entrare in contatto con la realtà, tanto che i suoi occhi aperti, potrebbero benissimo esser chiusi tanta è la distanza tra lui e quello che gli sta intorno.
* Il Fandango è da intendersi qui come locale ballo.
** Il mugnaio è un personaggio bizzarro di una novella.

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
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well 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
She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.
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
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
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

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray
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
She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
