Ella Fitzgerald.- I'm Beginning To See The Light



Los viernes es un día ritual. No lo cambiaría por nada. Empieza los jueves a las 8.30 de la tarde con el ensayo de la Banda y nunca sé con antelación cómo ni cuando terminará. Ahí nace su magia: rompe las barreras de la lógica solar, escapa de los barrotes del calendario. Y además comemos tan bien!

Viernes es el momento de recordar que las cosas que valen la pena son pequeñas y están al alcance de la mano. Es el día que no cuesta llamar por teléfono a aquel amigo que hace siglos te dijo de ir a caminar por Collserola o a aquella chica que me busca por el Messenger. Es el tiempo para recordar que en esta vida lo mejor que puedo ser es persona.

Ella Fitzgerald & Nat King Cole.- It's alright with me



Hoy entregué dos currículums, en el museo de historia... y de regreso a casa, me topé con la cafetería donde solía desayunar. Es un lugar pequeño, oscuro, dulce, la música siempre suave para compensar el torbellino de su dueño. Xavi es un hombre alto y sencillo. Separado con un hijo. Y desde hoy, amigo. Compartimos penas, opiniones, risas y gustos -sobre todo en lo tocante a camareras y cantantes de jazz-.

Extraños días estos. Suerte que Cole Porter siempre está ahí para alumbrar el camino.

It's alright with me (letra y música de Cole Porter)
It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face, but such a charming face
And it's alright with me

It's the wrong song with the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me

You can't know how happy I am we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
That it's all right with me

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face, but such a charming face
And it's alright with me

It's the wrong song with the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile, but a lovely smile
And it's alright with me

You can not know how happy I am we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too

It's the wrong game and the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, it's the wrong lips
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
And it's all right with me

And it's all right, it's all right
It's all right with me
It's all right with me

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your lips are charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face but a charming face
And it's alright with me
