NATALIE MERCHANT: Carnival (CD: Tigerlily)



Me gusta esta cantante,  compositora de  gran parte de sus éxitos. Este tema, Carnival , es algo especial. Su sonoridad, su ritmo percusivo, la guitarra y el órgano de fondo y sobre todos, la voz cautivadora de Natalie, doblada en ocasiones, produce un ambiente  melancólico y lleno de esperanza.
Si tenéis oportunidad, ver alguna de sus actuaciones en video.






Carnival

Well, I've walked these streets
A virtual stage, it seemed to me
Makeup on their faces
Actors took their places next to me

Well, I've walked these streets
In a carnival, of sights to see
All the cheap thrill seekers vendors and the dealers
They crowded around me

Have I been blind have I been lost
Inside myself and my own mind
Hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen?

Well, I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
In the diamond markets the scarlet welcome carpet
That they just rolled out for me

And I've walked these streets
In the madhouse asylum they can be
Where a wild-eyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me
(rpt 1)

Have I been blind, have I been lost
Have I been blind, have I been mean
Have I been strong

Hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen
In that great street carnival, in that carnival?
