Sabe quando você ouve uma interpretação de uma música e seu queixo cai? Pois é… É o caso tanto com a intérprete original (Allanah Myles) e com a Sara Loera que descobri recentemente. Os meus ouvidos preferem a Sara, até porque ela canta com o corpo também. Enfim…

Black Velvet foi feita em homenagem ao Rei do Rock e do R&B: Elvis Presley (minha opinião). A letra representa bem quem era o Elvis: único e inesquecível. Um eterno menino que se foi de maneira trágica e prematura.

Sem mais delongas, as duas versões. Divirtam-se. Letra logo após os vídeos.

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high
Mama’s dancin’ with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin’ like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move ev’rything
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music’s like a heat wave
White Lightnin’ bound to drive you wild
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of ev’ry school girl
“Love Me Tender” leaves ‘em cryin’ in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet and that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Ev’ry word of ev’ry song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon
What could you do?

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet in that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please

If you please
