KARMABOX WITH A VIEW (CHRISTMAS SPECIAL) - POLLY PAULUSMA - "FINGERS AND THUMBS"

Não é uma música de Natal, mas bem que o podia ser.
Polly Paulusma é a minha cantora favorita dos últimos anos, e este novo álbum - também intitulado "Fingers And Thumbs" - só veio provar que a inglesa não sabe fazer má música. E cada vez mais me arrependo de não ter chegado a tempo de a ver actuar em Paredes de Coura, aqui há três anos. Paciência.

Portanto, "Fingers And Thumbs" não é uma música de Natal, mas é a minha música para este Natal, e é com ela que vos desejo... um feliz Natal.
Especialmente a ti, que estás longe de mim, mas mais perto do que é habitual. E que tens mãozinhas de aranhiço...



After I kissed you, a sweet darkness came down
Fingers were search lights, leading the way down
We talk in fingers and thumbs
In an ancient braille of daily vacant overflow

Fingers and thumbs can never lie
We talk in fingers and thumbs
With my hands stretched I read your scars from head to toe
No need to fake it anymore, that's what our tongues were made for

Now I see you feelingly and my fingers have eyes
They search for you constantly in sorrows and smiles like this
We talk in fingers and thumbs
In an ancient braille of daily vacant overflow

Fingers and thumbs can never lie
We talk in fingers and thumbs
With my hands stretched I read your scars from head to toe
No need to fake it anymore, that's what our tongues were made for

Be my translator till there's no more to tell
Till our skin turns to water and our bones turn to sea shell
We talk in fingers and thumbs
In an ancient braille of daily vacant overflow

Fingers and thumbs can never lie
We talk in fingers and thumbs
With my hands stretched I read your scars from head to toe
No need to fake it anymore, that's what our tongues were made for
