(Strachey/Marvell/ Link)
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
A fairground's painted swings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
You came, you saw,
You conquered me.
When you did that to me,
I knew somehow this had to be.
The winds of March that made my heart a dancer,
A telephone that rings,
And who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The first daffodil and long excited cables,
And candle lights on little corner tables,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
The 'Ile-de-France' with all the gulls around it,
The beauty that is spring's...
These foolish things remind me of you.
How strange, how sweet
To find you still,
These things are dear to me,
They seem to bring you near to me.
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you...
These foolish things remind me of you.
Nathaniel Adams Coles, meglio conosciuto come Nat King Cole (Montgomery, 17 marzo 1919 – Santa Monica, 15 febbraio 1965), è stato un cantante, pianista e attore statunitense considerato uno dei crooner più importanti di tutti i tempi. Cole ha dominato la scena musicale americana negli anni '40 e '50 con una voce calda e melodiosa, accompagnata da arrangiamenti jazz raffinati. Iniziò la sua carriera come pianista in locali notturni di Chicago, per poi formare il suo gruppo, i "King Cole Trio". Il trio ottenne un grande successo con brani come "Straighten Up and Fly Right" e "The Christmas Song", che divennero classici intramontabili. Nel 1948, Cole firmò un contratto discografico con Capitol Records, iniziando una collaborazione prolifica che lo portò a incidere alcuni degli album più venduti di tutti i tempi. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo "Mona Lisa", "Unforgettable" e "When I Fall in Love". Oltre alla musica, Cole si distinse anche come attore cinematografico, partecipando a film come "St. Louis Blues" (1958) e "The Nat King Cole Show" (1956-1957). Cole fu un pioniere nella lotta per i diritti civili, diventando uno degli artisti afroamericani più popolari e influenti del suo tempo. La sua musica continua ad essere apprezzata in tutto il mondo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
