Don't Be Cruel - I

Don't Be Cruel

Minha intenção com este blog era postar apenas músicas de grupos dos 60, mas eu comecei a abrir algumas exceções exibindo versões gravadas em outras décadas. Então vou subverter a regra, informal, que eu mesmo criei e vou postar um clássico do Rock And Roll. A música de hoje é "Don't Be Cruel", gravado em 1956.

Agora com vocês, o verdadeiro Rei do Rock... Elvis Presley!

O vídeo escolhido é de uma apresentação do cantor no programa "The Ed Sullivan Show" no ano de 1956. A qualidade da imagem não é muito boa, e não tenho certeza se houve playback, mas o vídeo vale a pena ser visto por mostrar Elvis se apresentando.

You know I can be found,

Sitting home all alone,

If you can't come around,

At least please telephone.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Baby, if I made you mad

For something I might have said,

Please, let's forget the past,

The future looks bright ahead,

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love,

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

Don't stop thinking of me,

Don't make me feel this way,

Come on over here and love me,

You know what I want you to say.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Why should we be apart?

I really love you baby, cross my heart.

Let's walk up to the preacher

And let us say I do,

Then you'll know you'll have me,

And I'll know that I'll have you,

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love,

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love,

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.
