Música em transmutação - "You don’t know me", em duas versões

"You Don't Know Me" foi composta em 1955, por Cindy Walker e Eddy Arnold.

Gravada inicialmente em sua forma original (balada) pelo próprio Eddy Arnold (1956), teve sua mais famosa interpretação na voz do gênio, RayCharles.

Além da versão "soul" de Ray Charles, selecionamos outra (1986), do saxofonista e compositor David Sanborn, mostrando como um gênio pode transformar a versão musical de outro gênio.

Obra prima de interpretação.

You don't know me

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well.
Well, you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)

No, you don't know the one

Who dreams of you at night;
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
(To you) Oh I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Cause you don't know me.

(no you don't know me)

I never knew the art of making love,

Though my heart aches with love for you.
(I'm) Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)

You give your hand to me,

(Gril) And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
(That I'm) The one who loved you so.
'cause, you don't know me

(I never knew the art of making love, )

(Though my heart aches with love for you.)
( I'm ) Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)

Yeah, you give your hand to me,

And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me
(you don't love me, you don't know me)
