CATERINA VALENTE

POLYDOR - 20 501

The Breeze And I – Jalousie – Siboney – Begin The Beguine

Quando o rádio era telefonia – um “Pilot” – esta pequena fazia as delícias do pai. Ele também ficou a gostar. Grandes músicas, grandes orquestras, as bonitas capas da Polydor. Perry Como dedicou-lhe uma canção “Caterina” e cantava em 20 línguas, tocava guitarra, dançava, passou pelo cinema. Se o pai dele estivesse aqui diria: “já não há disto!".

If you've been, in Havana you have heard a dreamy tune.
When you think, of Havana you recall this dreamy tune.

If you've danced in Havana you've caught its funny rhythm
that made your senses stray,

Night and day here's that tantalizing melody they play.
Siboney, that's the tune that they croon at you down Havana way,

Siboney, that's the dance that they dance at the cafe,
And that tune brings you dreams so it seems underneath the silver moon,
As they play Siboney, ev'ry care will fade away. Fascinating, captivating, Siboney”.
