I'd Rather Go Blind...

Otra entrada sencillita para hoy, con I'd Rather Go Blind, una triste canción compuesta por Ellington Jordan y Billy Foster. La primera grabación la llevó a cabo Etta James y la canción alcanzó un gran éxito, siendo grabada posteriormente por muchos otros grupos. Una de mis versiones favoritas es la de Fleetwood Mac, que no he podido encontrar en youtube, pero sí en esa otra página -ver el enlace- que hasta parece legal (!) Os recomiendo que busquéis al grupo en youtube y os deis un pequeño paseo. ¡Hasta la próxima, ciberlectores!

Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind

Something told me it was over,

When I saw you and her talkin.

Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry, girl."

When I saw you and that girl walkin around.

Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy,

Then to see you walk away from me, child, no.

Whoo, so you see, I love you so much,

That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby.

Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no.

Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just,

Sittin here thinkin, of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah.

When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby,

Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.

Whoo, and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy,

Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah.

Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
