『save the last dance for me』

この名曲の解釈のひとつに、この歌を歌っているのは実は足の不自由な車椅子の女性、、というのがある。それから男性からの視点だったり、女性の目線だったり。
新橋でシャンソニエのバーテンをやっていた時代にいろんな方々と話した。
みんなこの曲が好きだった。
中でも印象に強く残ってるのは、クミコさんの歌うsave the last dance for me。
圧倒的な歌唱力とパフォーマンス。
ピアニストの上條泉さんとの音の掛け合いは、毎回息を飲んで見てた。

【YouTube BGM】Cliff Richard: Save the Last Dance for Me - studio recording


You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye,
And let him hold you tight
You can smile, every smile for the man
Who held your hand
Beneath the candle light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine,
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,
But when we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks, if you're all alone
Can he take you home
You better tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
And you better save the last dance for me
