# CLII - Amsterdam e Petra Magoni

(Feira de Artesanato, Vila do Conde, 2006)

Estive uns dias em Amsterdam. Claro que visitei, entre outras coisas, o Rosse Buurt, ou Red Light District ou, ainda, Bairro da Lanterna Vermelha. O nome advém do código usado pelas prostitutas daquela zona para anunciarem que estão ocupadas - acendem uma luz vermelha, junto da sua montra!

Há bem pouco tempo conheci uma voz nova da cena Jazzística italiana - Petra Magoni. Faz dueto com o contabaixista Ferruccio Spinetti e, juntos, têm versões muito interessantes de temas conhecidos. Uma delas é do tema de Sting/Police, Roxanne.

Nem de propósito...

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

Those days are over

You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight

Walk the streets for money

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

Put on the red light, put on the red light

Put on the red light, put on the red light

Put on the red light,

ohI loved you since I knew ya

I wouldn't talk down to ya

I have to tell you just how I feel

I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up

So put away your make up

Told you once I won't tell you again

it's a bad way

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

You don't have to put on the red light

Put on the red light, put on the red light
