1a canzone al giorno

Ballando... guancia a guancia...

Anche la canzone di oggi la "dovete" allo spettacolo di Roberto Bolle. Uno dei balli della serata è stato eseguito sulle note di "Cheek to cheek". Che dire.... Certe atmosfere delle canzoni dei decenni '30-'40-'50 sono davvero belle. La versione che vi propongo è quella diciamo originale visto che il brano è stato scritto per la colonna sonora del film "Top Hat" con Fred Astaire e Ginger Rogers del 1935. E sono proprio i due attori/ballerini ad eseguirla. In seguito l'hanno cantata in diversi e giusto per dirne un paio Luois Armstrong ed Ella Fitzgerald... Buon ascolto e anche oggi ola.... Voglio sperare....

Cheek to cheek (Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers)

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb to mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Now mama dance with me
I want my arms about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through

Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Take it Ella swing it

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Come on and dance with me
I want my arms about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through

To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me
I want my arms about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through

To heaven (heaven), I'm in heaven (I'm in heaven)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
