O regresso de Suzanne Vega
quarta-feira, setembro 12, 2007
Cinco anos depois de «Songs in Red and Grey», a 'rapariga de Nova Iorque' volta aos originais com este «Beauty and Crime». Num registo sugestivo e, ao mesmo tempo, misterioso, Suzanne volta a uma fase idêntica à que passou em «Nine Objects of Desire» -- depois dos dias cinzentos e da melancolia, há uma maior subtileza neste retorno, mas sempre navegando naquele universo muito, muito peculiar. No dia seguinte a mais um aniversário do 11 de Setembro, recordamos aqui a homenagem de Suzanne Vega à sua cidade predilecta, com a letra de «New York is a Woman».
«New York City spread herself before you
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars
You were impressed with the city so undressed
You had to go out cruising all the bars
Your business trip extended through the weekend
Suburban boy here for your first time
From the 27th floor above the midtown roar
You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
Endlessly
New York is a woman she'll make you cry
And to her you're just another guy
Look down and see her ruined places
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
She's happy that you're here but when you disappear
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
Every dame you've ever known on late night tv
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
Desperately
New York is a woman
she'll make you cry
And to her you're just another guy»
«New York is a Woman», Suzanne Vega, 2007
