Dreaming of You / I Could Fall in Love

Anteontem não sai de casa e fiquei deitado na cama a ver televisão. O filme que estava a dar na RTP1 era a Selena, papel interpretado pela Jennifer Lopez sobre a cantora assassinada aos 23 anos. Confesso que não conhecia nada da mesma, mas desde ontem que ouço as músicas dela e adoro, em particular estas:

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...
(by Selena)

Selena cresceu no meio duma familia humilde que cedo descobriu o gosto pela música. Cantava no grupo da familia, mas ganhou autonomia do grupo, ainda adolescente, lançando-se a solo e ganhando projecção internacional.
A vida dela terminou prematuramente aos 23 ao ser assassinada pela presidente do seu clube de fãs, por esta ter desviado dinheiro dos fãs e a cantora o ter descoberto.

I could lose my heart tonight,
If you don’t turn and walk away
Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
Cause I could take you in my arms,
And never let you go
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

I could only wonder how
Touching you would make you feel
But if I take that chance right now,
Tomorrow will you want me still?
(baby will you want me? )
So I should keep this to myself,
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love with you

And I know it’s not right,
And I guess I should try
To do what I should do
But I could fall in love,
Fall in love, with you
I could fall in love with you

Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome, con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podría amar a ti
(translation:
I’m always dreaming of you
Kissing my lips, caressing my skin
Hugging me with crazy longings
Imagining that you love me
The way that I could love you)

So I should keep this to myself,
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love, (fall in love)
I could fall in love, (fall in love) with you
I could fall in love with you.
