"Blue Moon" by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart (lyrics and video)

[Ion]

"Blue Moon" is a classic popular song. It was written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934, and has become a standard ballad. The lyrics presumably refer to an English idiomatic expression: "once in a blue moon" means very rarely.

A blue moon can refer to the third full moon in a season with four full moons, or the second full moon of a calendar month.  Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each solar calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days compared to the lunar year of 12 lunations.

Blue Moon - Dean Martin

"Blue Moon" lyrics

Blue moon,
you saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love on my own.

Blue moon,
you knew just what I was there for
you heard me saying a prayer for
somebody I really could care for.

And then there suddenly appeared before me,
the only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me."
and when I looked,
the moon had turned to gold.

Blue moon,
now I'm lo longer alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love on my own.


Για σήμερα πιστεύω να ταιριάζει...

Ακριβώς κι εκεί θα μείνουμε γιατί λέω να κλείσω το αφιέρωμα με το σαξόφωνο του Fausto Papetti.
Και του χρόνου, Βίκυ, να είμαστε καλά και συ καλύτερα!
