CLÁSSICOS PARA A VIDA ETERNA

DAVE DEE, DOZY, BEAKY, MICK & TICH (1968) THE LEGEND OF XANADU

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

Vindo de uma banda de origem surpreendentemente britânica, mais precisamente de Wiltshire, "The Legend of Xanadu" é um clássico do arco da velha.

You'll hear my voice, on the wind, cross the sand

If you should return

To that black barren land that bears the name of Xanadu

----

Cursed, without hope, was the love that I sought

Lost from the start

Was the duel that was fought to win a heart in Xanadu

----

Now no footprints leave no traces

Only shadows move in places, where we used to go

And the buildings, open to the sky

All echo with the vultures cry as if to show

----

Our love was for a day, and doomed to pass away

In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu

----

What was it to you that a man laid down his life for your love

Were those clear eyes of yours

Ever filled with the pain of tears and grief

Did you ever give yourself to any one man in this whole wide world

Or did you love me and will you find your way back one day to Xanadu

----

You'll hear my voice, on the wind, cross the sand

If you should return

To that black barren land that bears the name of Xanadu
