Ponad czasowa MUZYKA-PROCOL HARUM Keith REID i Gary BROOKER

Bielszy odcień Bieli.

Nie możesz mieć wszystkich ziaren piasku do szczęścia.
Wystarczy jedno ziarenko, te z którym wiąże się ważne i najważniejsze życiowe wydarzenie.

TEKST PIOSENKI: A WHITER SHADE OF PALE

Teskt oryginalny: zobacz tłumaczenie ›

Życie bywa jak fandango

Lecz ktoś inny tańczy je

Siedzisz cicho w ciemnym kącie

Wolisz nie wychylać się

Kokon skrywa Twoją głowę

Szyba wzmacnia gruby mur

Czasem zerkniesz mimochodem na

Gęsty, obcy Tobie tłum

Pragniesz choć raz uwolnić się

I porzucić stary lęk

Stanąć w pełni blasku słońca

Gdzie ma bielszy odcień biel

Szczęście jest jak ziarna piasku

Wszystkich złapać nie da się

Los rozdaje różne karty

Cały czas testuje Cię

Mówi: możesz zostać orłem

Choć bezpieczniej wróblem być

Wiesz, że gdy rozwiniesz skrzydła

Wielu zechce Ci je ściąć

Tak bardzo pragniesz uwolnić się

I porzucić znany lęk

Stanąć w pełni blasku słońca

Aby poczuć bielszą biel

Pragniesz choć raz uwolnić się

I zapomnieć stary lęk

Stanąć w pełni blasku słońca

Aby dotknąć bielszą biel

This is an original 16mm Scopitone conversion, not a copy. I used an actual old scopitone player, fed the signal to an old VHS, of which I then fed the output to a Canopus ADVC300. This 'summer of love' 1967 hit record was remuxed in 2006. Also fixed audio-sync.

Sound engineer of this famous mono mix was Keith Grant. Vocals and piano played by Gary Brooker. Matthew Fisher played the Hammond organ, and these original lyrics were written by Keith Reid;

We skipped the light fandango

turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

I was feeling kinda' seasick

the crowd called out for more

the room was humming harder

as the ceiling flew away

when we called out for another drink

the waiter brought a tray

and so it was that later

as a mirror told its tale

that her face at first just ghostly

turned a whiter shade of pale

She said: "There is no reason

and the truth is plain to see"

but I wandered through my playing cards

would not let her be

one of sixteen vestal virgins

who were leaving for the coast

and although my eyes were open

they might just as well've been closed

and so it was that later

as the miller told his tale

that her face at first just ghostly

turned a whiter shade of pale..

This composition stands tall on its own. Every song out there is inspired by those from other songwriters, you don't need to brag about your miracle discovery. So please stop commenting about it being 'originally written by' Johann Sebastian Bach?
