Um dueto entre um homem e uma mulher

No dueto que eu ouço normalmente, Nina Simone e Ray Charles dando um show de interpretação na letra de Frank Loesser.
Lindo, lindo.

Baby, it's cold outside

I really can't stay
- Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
- Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been
- Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
- I'll hold your hands, they're cold as ice
My mother will start to worry
- Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
- Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
- Beautiful, please don't hurry well
Maybe just one drink more
- Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think
- Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink
- No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
- Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
- I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
- Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
- What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay
- Baby don't hold out, Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go
- Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
- Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
- I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
- Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door
- Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
- Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more
- Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home
- Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat
- It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
- I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
- How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
- Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
- If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
- Get over that old out
Baby it's cold outside

ps.: quizz master óbvio, mas quem adivinhar quem é o homem e quem é a mulher nessa música ganha um prêmio.

Enquanto vocês não adivinham, eu danço dois pra lá, dois pra cá (sozinha).

Agora eu lembro de vc e do seu blog tão bacana quando ouço essa música...

Mas tenho uma correção: apesar de a voz realmente parecer a da Nina Simone, e de ter vários mp3 circulando por aí com o nome dela, na verdade essa gravação é do Ray Charles com a Betty Carter. Dá uma olhada nesse vídeo, mostra a capa do disco:

Essa é realmente uma das versões mais bonitas, mas dá uma olhada nessa do Ray Charles com a Dionne Warwick aqui ó:

E me fala se vc não riu com eles e não balançou a cabeça junto com o balanço dele ao piano... Muito gostoso de ver e ouvir...

Grande beijo da Camilinha!
