Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan April 7, 1915 -- July 17, 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and musical partner Lester Young, Holiday had a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo.

Habla bajo cuando hables, amor
Speak low when you speak, love
Nuestro día de verano se marchita demasiado pronto, demasiado pronto
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Habla bajo cuando hables, amor
Speak low when you speak, love
Nuestro momento es rápido, como barcos a la deriva, somos barridos, demasiado pronto
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Habla bajo cariño, habla bajo
Speak low, darling, speak low
El amor es una chispa, perdida en la oscuridad demasiado pronto, demasiado pronto
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
Siento donde quiera que voy que el mañana está cerca
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near
Mañana está aquí y siempre demasiado pronto
Tomorrow is here and always too soon
El tiempo es tan viejo y el amor tan breve
Time is so old and love so brief
El amor es oro puro y el tiempo un ladrón
Love is pure gold and time a thief
Llegamos tarde, cariño, llegamos tarde.
We're late, darling, we're late
El telón desciende, todo termina demasiado pronto, demasiado pronto
The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon
Espero, cariño, espero
I wait, darling, I wait
¿Me hablarás bajo, háblame amor y pronto
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon
El tiempo es tan viejo y el amor tan breve
Time is so old and love so brief
El amor es oro puro y el tiempo un ladrón
Love is pure gold and time a thief
Llegamos tarde, cariño, llegamos tarde.
We're late, darling, we're late
El telón desciende, todo termina demasiado pronto, demasiado pronto
The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon
Espero, cariño, espero
I wait, darling, I wait
¿Me hablarás bajo, háblame amor y pronto
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon
Habla bajo
Speak low
Gracias
people just want to make you involved as a suspect!
This mambo version is a bit out of play ... See the same song sung by Lotte Lenya.
checked. thanks. back to billie.=)
@@mrmillcake8525 Tell u something, Mister. This song was originally composed by Weill for Lotte Lenya, both being a couple. It is easily by cognition detectable, that the Lenya version must be the original one, as intended by the composer.
So far, are you still with me? Billie Holiday can be agreeable voted being the most authentic and in this way the greatest US-american vocalist so far. And her version of speak low, btw a Shakespeare quote from "Much adoe about nothing", is remarkable and for my ears the best performance and best vocal version looking at the Jazz genre only. The best Jazz instrumental version is, also according to my reception, the Coltrane version with Sonny Clark from 1957 (?).
But ...the Lotte Lenya recording comes closest to the story, that Ogden Nash and Kurt Weill try to tell. And, even if this does not fit into the minds of what might be the majority of recepting listeners, telling the story the way the story goes is the essence of art. This has nothing to do with individual taste, personal emotional continence (sic!) or zeitgeist or freedom of performantial choice. Actually I am not sure all the here used vocabulary does already exist. Have mercy, I am not a native speaker.
In conclusion it remains of course your decision of going "back to billie". And Billie ist still Parsecs ahead of what the Sinatras and Streisands and Bennetts and whatever Loch Ness have tried to deliver. OK, let us stop here, before my fingers get stuck. Just for the record: My favorite version is the one by Anne Sofie von Otter. Reason is
- Anne Sofie´s performance is at least divine
- the groove matches the by Weill intended groove, which is not the standard 12/8 used in Jazz since the 50s, but a straight 4/4 with triplets occasionally. This enhances the suspense, corresponding with or supporting the told story. A for jazz musicians simple 12/8 smoothes the song more than necessary, it can indeed sweep it into the pop genre, wehre it definitely does not belong.
@@georgvoss3353 Thank you very much for the effort and patience with which you have put everything in it's place. I have only respect for the creators and the first performer of this beautiful song...
Eso es a mi no me grité.
