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
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
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
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

Original Scopitone of "Whiter Shade of Pale," by Procol Harum. (1967)

Procol Harum é uma banda britânica de rock progressivo formada no início dos anos 60. Eles são mais conhecidos por seu compacto "A Whiter Shade of Pale", número um nas paradas de sucesso inglesas.
Formada das cinzas de um grupo chamado "Paramounts" liderado por Gary Brooker e Robin Trower, a estreia ao vivo do Procol foi abrindo um concerto de Jimi Hendrix em 1967, o que levou a recém-lançanda "A Whiter Shade of Pale" ao topo das paradas. Um LP e outros compactos seguiram-se, mas sem alcançar o sucesso daquela primeira gravação.
Durante os anos 70 o grupo Procol Harum permaneceu mais popular do que outras bandas de rock progressivo mais sofisticadas, como Emerson, Lake & Palmer. O grupo continuou apesar das diversas mudanças na formação, mas o declínio das vendas decretou o fim do grupo em 1977.
A banda reuniu-se em 1991 para o lançamento de Prodigal Stranger, que não obteve muita repercussão. Uma nova encarnação do Procol, liderada por Brooker, está na estrada em turnê pelos EUA desde 1992.
O nome da banda foi escolhido por seu empresário, inspirado no nome do gato de um amigo seu. Traduzido do latim, significa algo como "Através dessas coisas".
O asteróide 14024 Procol Harum tem esse nome em homenagem à banda.
Recentemente, a justiça do Reino Unido concedeu ao tecladista da banda, Matthew Fisher, 40% da autoria de "A Whiter Shade of Pale". A alegação de Fisher para o pedido é o refrão e o solo de órgão da canção, os quais estão entre seus elementos mais distintivos. O juiz do caso disse que a contribuição do organista foi "substancial", embora não tão grande quanto a contribuição do cantor.

Procol Harum es un grupo británico de rock formado en 1967 que tuvo una gran influencia en el nacimiento de lo que después sería denominado rock progresivo; su fama mundial reside en su mayor éxito musical llamado "A Whiter Shade of Pale", la cual se considera su melodía de culto a través de los años y su carrera.
HISTORIA
A principios de 1967, Brooker comenzó a trabajar como cantautor y formó Procol Harum en abril de 1967, reunió al poeta y compositor Keith Reid, Mattew Fisher (organista), Ray Royer (guitarrista) y a David Knights (bajista). Al lado del baterista de estudio Bill Eyden, el productor Denny Cordell y el Ingeniero de Sonido Keith Grant la agrupación grabó el tema: "A Whiter Shade of Pale". La canción fue lanzada el 12 de mayo de 1967, con el sucesivo éxito del tema y de la canción de The Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin" (Noches en satén blanco) [sábanas] su sello fonográfico Deram Records se convirtió en la primera discográfica de rock progresivo conocida.
Con cautivante tonalidad y su sabor a Bach, ambos provistos por Fisher, su interpretación sentida y letra misteriosa, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" alcanzó la posición número 1 en las listas de popularidad del Reino Unido y logró posicionarse en 5 lugar en las listas americanas, convirtiéndose desde entonces en un tema clásico en la historia musical.
Justo después del lanzamiento de su gran éxito la banda emprendió una gira; debutando como teloneros de Jimi Hendrix en 1967.
La trayectoria del grupo siguió con su sencillo "Homburg", y con un cambio de alineación al incorporar a dos ex miembros de The Paramounts, B.J. Wilson en la batería y a Robin Trower en la guitarra, logrando un decoroso 6o lugar en las listas del Reino Unido, pero su larga duración "Procol Harum" fue menos exitoso que el anterior.
Una serie de sencillos posteriores figuraron en posiciones demasiado bajas y rara vez figuraron simultáneamente en E.U.A. y su tierra natal. A mediados de la década de 1970, las ventas del grupo siguieron descendiendo. Su última canción en alcanzar el top 20 en el Reino Unido fue "Pandora's Box", en 1975.
Dos años después la banda se separó definitivamente, reuniéndose sólo cinco meses después cuando "A Whiter Shade of Pale" fue nombrada como el mejor single de pop del Reino Unido entre 1952 y 1977, compartiendo el galardón con "Bohemian Rhapsody" de Queen.
1991 y después:
Procol Harum se reformó en 1991 con Brooker, Fisher, Trower y Reid, después de que Wilson muriese en 1990. Esta formación editó el álbum The Prodigal Stranger, de escaso éxito. Después de ello, la banda se embarcó en una gira por los Estados Unidos sin Trower, seguida de una nueva etapa de inactividad.
En julio de 1997, los fans de la banda, en celebración del 30º aniversario de la publicación de "A Whiter Shade of Pale", pidieron que Procol Harum regresase a los escenarios. Esto se produjo en la ciudad inglesa de Redhill, congregando a fans de todo el mundo.
A finales de 1999, el vocalista Gary Brooker prometió que la banda tocaría en directo en 2000. En septiembre de ese año, Procol Harum tocó un concierto al aire libre con la New London Sinfonia en Guilford, Reino Unido. Desde el año 2001, el grupo ha llevado a cabo varias giras por Europa, Japón y Estados Unidos. Estas giras dieron como resultado varios DVD en directo, grabados en Copenague (2002) y Londres (Live at the Union Chapel, 2004). En 2003 se editó el disco The Well's on Fire.
Los posteriores shows en directo de la banda dejaron como único intérprete original a Gary Brooker.

Powiedziała: "Nie ma żadnego powodu,
A prawda jest widoczna jak na dłoni"
Lecz ja nadal grałem w swoją grę
I nie chciałem, aby stała się jedną z dziewic z szesnastu westalek,
Wyruszających na wybrzeże.
I choć oczy miałem otwarte,
Równie dobrze mogły być zamknięte.
A później:
Gdy młynarz opowiadał swoją historię,
Jej twarz, początkowo jak widmo,
Nabrała bielszego odcienia bieli...
Powiedziała: "tutaj wyrzuciło mnie na ląd"
Zauważyłem ten szczegół, że byliśmy daleko na morzu...
I zmusiłem Ją do uzgodnienia,
Mówiąc: "Musisz być syreną, którą wziął Król Neptun na przejażdżkę..."
I uśmiechnęła się do mnie tak słodko,
Że momentalnie umarł mój gniew.
A później:
Gdy młynarz opowiadał swoją historię,
Jej twarz, początkowo jak widmo,
Nabrała bielszego odcienia bieli...
Jeśli muzyka jest pokarmem miłości,
Wówczas śmiech jest jej królewną,
I podobnie, jeśli to co było jest przed nami
Wówczas brudy w prawdzie są czyste.
Moje usta w tym momencie jak karton
Jakby ślizgały się przechodząc przez moją głowę
Więc szybko zanurkowaliśmy
Kłębiąc się w oceanicznych falach...

And so it was that later

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

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen

Um Tom Mais Claro de Palidez
Nós dançamos o suave fandango
Giramos em piruetas pelo chão
Eu estava me sentindo meio enjoado
Mas a multidão pedia mais
O barulho no salão estava ficando maior
Enquanto o teto voava para longe
Quando pedimos mais uma bebida
O garçom trouxe a bandeja
E foi aí que mais tarde
Enquanto o moleiro contava sua história
O rosto dela, a princípio apenas fantasmagórico
Ficou um tom mais claro de palidez
Ela disse:Não há razão nenhuma
E a verdade é fácil de ver
Mas eu me distraía no meu jogo de cartas
E não a deixava ser
Uma das dezesseis virgens vestais
Que estavam partindo para o litoral
E embora meus olhos estivessem abertos
Seria melhor se eles estivessem fechados
E foi aí que mais tarde
Enquanto o moleiro contava sua história
O rosto dela, a princípio apenas fantasmagórico
Ficou um tom mais claro de palidez !!!

Beautiful Love Story
Procol Harum is a British progressive rock band formed in the early '60s.They are best known for their single "A Whiter Shade of Pale",number one on the British charts.
Formed from the ashes of a group called "Paramount" led by Gary Brooker and Robin Trower, the live debut of Procol was opening a concert of Jimi Hendrix in 1967,which led to newly lançanda "A Whiter Shade of Pale" to top the charts. A LP and other compacts followed,but without achieving the success of that first recording.

We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
Whe 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
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
At the moment my eyes were open
They might just as well have 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

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
The waiter brought a tray
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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,"
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

Original Scopitone of "Whiter Shade of Pale," by Procol Harum. (1967)
--------------------------------------------
1967
--------------------------------------------
καραόκε
--------------------------------------------
Procol Harum é uma banda britânica de rock progressivo formada no início dos anos 60. Eles são mais conhecidos por seu compacto "A Whiter Shade of Pale", número um nas paradas de sucesso inglesas.
Formada das cinzas de um grupo chamado "Paramounts" liderado por Gary Brooker e Robin Trower, a estreia ao vivo do Procol foi abrindo um concerto de Jimi Hendrix em 1967, o que levou a recém-lançanda "A Whiter Shade of Pale" ao topo das paradas. Um LP e outros compactos seguiram-se, mas sem alcançar o sucesso daquela primeira gravação.
Durante os anos 70 o grupo Procol Harum permaneceu mais popular do que outras bandas de rock progressivo mais sofisticadas, como Emerson, Lake & Palmer. O grupo continuou apesar das diversas mudanças na formação, mas o declínio das vendas decretou o fim do grupo em 1977.
A banda reuniu-se em 1991 para o lançamento de Prodigal Stranger, que não obteve muita repercussão. Uma nova encarnação do Procol, liderada por Brooker, está na estrada em turnê pelos EUA desde 1992.
O nome da banda foi escolhido por seu empresário, inspirado no nome do gato de um amigo seu. Traduzido do latim, significa algo como "Através dessas coisas".
O asteróide 14024 Procol Harum tem esse nome em homenagem à banda.
Recentemente, a justiça do Reino Unido concedeu ao tecladista da banda, Matthew Fisher, 40% da autoria de "A Whiter Shade of Pale". A alegação de Fisher para o pedido é o refrão e o solo de órgão da canção, os quais estão entre seus elementos mais distintivos. O juiz do caso disse que a contribuição do organista foi "substancial", embora não tão grande quanto a contribuição do cantor.
--------------------------------------------
Procol Harum es un grupo británico de rock formado en 1967 que tuvo una gran influencia en el nacimiento de lo que después sería denominado rock progresivo; su fama mundial reside en su mayor éxito musical llamado "A Whiter Shade of Pale", la cual se considera su melodía de culto a través de los años y su carrera.
HISTORIA
A principios de 1967, Brooker comenzó a trabajar como cantautor y formó Procol Harum en abril de 1967, reunió al poeta y compositor Keith Reid, Mattew Fisher (organista), Ray Royer (guitarrista) y a David Knights (bajista). Al lado del baterista de estudio Bill Eyden, el productor Denny Cordell y el Ingeniero de Sonido Keith Grant la agrupación grabó el tema: "A Whiter Shade of Pale". La canción fue lanzada el 12 de mayo de 1967, con el sucesivo éxito del tema y de la canción de The Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin" (Noches en satén blanco) [sábanas] su sello fonográfico Deram Records se convirtió en la primera discográfica de rock progresivo conocida.
Con cautivante tonalidad y su sabor a Bach, ambos provistos por Fisher, su interpretación sentida y letra misteriosa, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" alcanzó la posición número 1 en las listas de popularidad del Reino Unido y logró posicionarse en 5 lugar en las listas americanas, convirtiéndose desde entonces en un tema clásico en la historia musical.
Justo después del lanzamiento de su gran éxito la banda emprendió una gira; debutando como teloneros de Jimi Hendrix en 1967.
La trayectoria del grupo siguió con su sencillo "Homburg", y con un cambio de alineación al incorporar a dos ex miembros de The Paramounts, B.J. Wilson en la batería y a Robin Trower en la guitarra, logrando un decoroso 6o lugar en las listas del Reino Unido, pero su larga duración "Procol Harum" fue menos exitoso que el anterior.
Una serie de sencillos posteriores figuraron en posiciones demasiado bajas y rara vez figuraron simultáneamente en E.U.A. y su tierra natal. A mediados de la década de 1970, las ventas del grupo siguieron descendiendo. Su última canción en alcanzar el top 20 en el Reino Unido fue "Pandora's Box", en 1975.
Dos años después la banda se separó definitivamente, reuniéndose sólo cinco meses después cuando "A Whiter Shade of Pale" fue nombrada como el mejor single de pop del Reino Unido entre 1952 y 1977, compartiendo el galardón con "Bohemian Rhapsody" de Queen.
1991 y después:
Procol Harum se reformó en 1991 con Brooker, Fisher, Trower y Reid, después de que Wilson muriese en 1990. Esta formación editó el álbum The Prodigal Stranger, de escaso éxito. Después de ello, la banda se embarcó en una gira por los Estados Unidos sin Trower, seguida de una nueva etapa de inactividad.
En julio de 1997, los fans de la banda, en celebración del 30º aniversario de la publicación de "A Whiter Shade of Pale", pidieron que Procol Harum regresase a los escenarios. Esto se produjo en la ciudad inglesa de Redhill, congregando a fans de todo el mundo.
A finales de 1999, el vocalista Gary Brooker prometió que la banda tocaría en directo en 2000. En septiembre de ese año, Procol Harum tocó un concierto al aire libre con la New London Sinfonia en Guilford, Reino Unido. Desde el año 2001, el grupo ha llevado a cabo varias giras por Europa, Japón y Estados Unidos. Estas giras dieron como resultado varios DVD en directo, grabados en Copenague (2002) y Londres (Live at the Union Chapel, 2004). En 2003 se editó el disco The Well's on Fire.
Los posteriores shows en directo de la banda dejaron como único intérprete original a Gary Brooker.

But 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 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
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
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

Powiedziała: "Nie ma żadnego powodu,
A prawda jest widoczna jak na dłoni"
Lecz ja nadal grałem w swoją grę
I nie chciałem, aby stała się jedną z dziewic z szesnastu westalek,
Wyruszających na wybrzeże.
I choć oczy miałem otwarte,
Równie dobrze mogły być zamknięte.
A później:
Gdy młynarz opowiadał swoją historię,
Jej twarz, początkowo jak widmo,
Nabrała bielszego odcienia bieli...
Powiedziała: "tutaj wyrzuciło mnie na ląd"
Zauważyłem ten szczegół, że byliśmy daleko na morzu...
I zmusiłem Ją do uzgodnienia,
Mówiąc: "Musisz być syreną, którą wziął Król Neptun na przejażdżkę..."
I uśmiechnęła się do mnie tak słodko,
Że momentalnie umarł mój gniew.
A później:
Gdy młynarz opowiadał swoją historię,
Jej twarz, początkowo jak widmo,
Nabrała bielszego odcienia bieli...
Jeśli muzyka jest pokarmem miłości,
Wówczas śmiech jest jej królewną,
I podobnie, jeśli to co było jest przed nami
Wówczas brudy w prawdzie są czyste.
Moje usta w tym momencie jak karton
Jakby ślizgały się przechodząc przez moją głowę
Więc szybko zanurkowaliśmy
Kłębiąc się w oceanicznych falach...

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
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...

Um Tom Mais Claro de Palidez
Nós dançamos o suave fandango
Giramos em piruetas pelo chão
Eu estava me sentindo meio enjoado
Mas a multidão pedia mais
O barulho no salão estava ficando maior
Enquanto o teto voava para longe
Quando pedimos mais uma bebida
O garçom trouxe a bandeja
E foi aí que mais tarde
Enquanto o moleiro contava sua história
O rosto dela, a princípio apenas fantasmagórico
Ficou um tom mais claro de palidez
Ela disse:Não há razão nenhuma
E a verdade é fácil de ver
Mas eu me distraía no meu jogo de cartas
E não a deixava ser
Uma das dezesseis virgens vestais
Que estavam partindo para o litoral
E embora meus olhos estivessem abertos
Seria melhor se eles estivessem fechados
E foi aí que mais tarde
Enquanto o moleiro contava sua história
O rosto dela, a princípio apenas fantasmagórico
Ficou um tom mais claro de palidez !!!
