Day 03 - A song that makes you happy

O mood altera-se com a voz quente. Vem o ritmo e com ele o meu bater de pés. Os dedos a estalar, a cabeça a deambular no mesmo compasso entendido pelo resto do corpo. Os diferentes segmentos criam curvas num movimento que denota o swing inegável da melodia.
A história da música é uma das histórias de que este senhor - que eu verdadeiramente admiro - se conhece como protagonista. Apesar da traição de que a letra é testemunha, não se diminui com isso a grandiosidade que adquiriu, sendo uma das mais conhecidas do mestre.
A que aqui coloco é uma versão extensa, a que mais gosto, mas não a editada.


Ray Charles - Hit The Road Jack

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

Well
(don't you come back no more.)
Uh, what you say?
(don't you come back no more.)
I didn't understand you
(don't you come back no more.)
You can't mean that
(don't you come back no more.)
Oh, now baby, please
(don't you come back no more.)
What you tryin' to do to me?
(don't you come back no more.)
Oh, don't treat me like that
(don't you come back no more.)
