Et non, désolé pour les fans mais ce n'est pas de l'un des derniers tubes de Justin Timberlake qu'il s'agit ici, mais d'une chanson tout simplement unique...!
Le titre en question, Cry me a river, écrit par Arthur Hamilton en 1953, a été interprété pour la première fois par Julie London pour le film The girl Just can't help it, dans lequel elle jouait son propre rôle.
Parmi la bonne centaine (au moins) d'interprètes successifs, on trouve par exemple (dans le désordre)
- Ella Fitzgerald
- Aerosmith
- Barbara streisand
- George Benson
- Joe cocker
Les paroles:
Now you say you're lonely,
You cried the whole night through.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
Now you say you're sorry,
For being so untrue.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
You drove me, nearly drove me,
Out of my head;
While you never shed a tear.
Remember, I remember,
All that you said;
Told me love was too plebian,
Told me you were through with me-
And Now you say you love me,
Well, just to prove you do,
Come on and cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you
You cried the whole night through.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
Now you say you're sorry,
For being so untrue.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
You drove me, nearly drove me,
Out of my head;
While you never shed a tear.
Remember, I remember,
All that you said;
Told me love was too plebian,
Told me you were through with me-
And Now you say you love me,
Well, just to prove you do,
Come on and cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you

Un pur moment de bonheur ... Même si pour ma part ; j'ai un faible pour la version d'Ella Fitzgerald. A quand le retour de textes aussi poignants?
Avis aux vocations.
