love me or leave me

LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME

Avevo parlato, su questo Blog, di canzoni del secolo riferendomi al ‘900: bene!
Love me or leave me nella versione della monumentale Nina Simone è, certamente, tra le venti canzoni del secolo da salvare.
Dalla prima uscita di questa deliziosa canzone (1928) ci si sono misurati in molti, da Billie Holiday a Frank Sinatra, ma la grinta vocale, l’arrangiamento veloce, il virtuoso piano quando la canta lei è inarrivabile.
Roba da cominciarci la giornata per darsi la carica giusta.

(1928) walter donaldson, gus kahn

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely

You won't believe me but i love you only

I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing

Night time is my time for just reminiscing

Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you

I intended to be independently blue

I want you love, don't wanna borrow

Have it today to give back tomorrow

Your love is my love

There's no love for nobody else

Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely

You won't believe me but i love you only

I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing

Night time is my time for just reminiscing

Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you

I intended to be independently blue

Say i want your love, don't wanna borrow

Have it today to give back tomorrow

Your love is my love

My love is your love

There's no love for nobody else
