Judy Blue Eyes - Marin Brown Eyed Girl

Em 1969, no Woodstock, O Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young) tocaram a Suite Judy Blue Eyes numa memorável performance. Na mesma ocasião esteve presente Van Morrison, que apesar de já ter composto "Brown Eyed Girl" não a cantou nesse festival.
São duas composições antológicas cujo assunto é basicamente o mesmo, uma ex namorada.
Nos anos 90 houve um seriado chamado "Once and Again" sobre algo muito parecido, só que de gente na faixa dos 40 anos, ou seja, ex maridos/mulheres.
Mas nesse seriado havia também uma personagem na casa dos 30 anos, porém já perto dos 40, solteira e bem complicada. Chamava-se Judy e era interpretada por Marin Hinkle. Na última temporada da série ela arrumou um relacionamento com um homem casado, é claro... e num determinado momento ele põe para tocar a Suite Judy Blue Eyes e num outro episódio, se me lembro bem, ele canta um trecho para ela. Isso sugere o comentário dela de que ela tem olhos castanhos e não azuis. Um detalhe? Pode ser... mas a música Brown Eyed Girl seria melhor. Mas ela se chama Judy. Um detalhe! Judy Brown Eyed!!

Brown eyed girl
Hey where did we go
Days when the rains came
Down in a hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a runnin'
Skippin' and a jumpin'
In the misty mornin' fog Ah with our hearts a thumpin'
Was you my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Now what ever happened
Tuesday is oh so slow
Goin' down the old mine with a Transistor radio Standin' in a sunlit lane
Hidin' 'hind a rainbow's wall
Slippin' and a slidin' yeah
All along the waterfall It was you my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm on my own
Thought about it just the other day
My, where'd the times all gone
Can't remember back then Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout
Makin' love in the green grass
Uh behind the stadium
With you my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da


Judy Blue Eyes It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard
Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard- Tearing yourself away from me now
You are free and I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you I do, that's forever, yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard
Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret.
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
Friday evening,
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday mornin', please be gone I'm tired of you.
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is?
Help me I'm sufferin'
Listen to me baby-Help me I'm dyin' It's my heart that's a sufferin', it's a dyin'
That's what I have to lose I've got an answer I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?
Chestnut brown canary Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow
Voices of the angels ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?
Lacy, lilting, lady, losing love, lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady.
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

(At the end of the Suite, Stephen Stills sings the following Spanish lines:)

Que linda me la traiga Cuba, la reina de la Mar Caribe.
Cielo sol no tiene sangreahi, y que triste que no puedo vaya,
Oh va, oh va, va.
