SPINNING WHEEL (1969) BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

Blood, Sweat & Tears, literalmente, sangue, suor e lágrimas, é uma banda de jazz-rock de NYC. Lançada em 1967, liderada pelo vocalista David Clayton-Thomas, segue na ativa ainda hoje. Já "Spinning Wheel" é uma roda de fiar, como aquela que fez dormir a bela adormecida. Pois, é dessas músicas que a gente reconhece já nos primeiro acordes.

What goes up, must come down

Spinning wheel got to go round

Talkin' 'bout your troubles, it's a cryin' sin

Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel spin

----

You got no money and you, you got no home

Spinning wheel, all alone

Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you, you never learn

Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel turn

----

Did you find a directing sign on the straight and narrow highway?

Would you mind a reflecting sign?

Just let it shine within your mind

And show you the colors that are real

----

Someone is waiting just for you

Spinning wheel spinning through

Drop all your troubles by the riverside

Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride

----

Someone's waiting just for you

Spinning wheel spinning through

Drop all your troubles by the riverside

Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel fly
