[Imagem da net]Nguyên Lê, o guitarrista vietnamita, com a sua guitarra eléctrica de um sonoridade muito própria (traz a Ásia consigo!) tem um novo trabalho onde revisita canções de ouro da década de 70 [Songs of Freedom] com a soprano senegalesa Julia Sarr (a roçar a excelência em “Mercedes Benz” de Joplin).
A força do original não é beliscada. Mas é interessante esta roupagem.
"Mercedes Benz" / Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
