Mujeres que cantan - Hoy: Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren canta To Keep My Man Alive, canción de 1943, con música de Richard Rodgers y letra de Lorenz Hart. (En realidad este post dialoga con el de su blog vecino: Crónicas de cine, en el que se habla de esta canción)

(Loren cantó esta canción en The Millionairess/Ella y sus millones, 1960, film de Anthony Asquith, que coprotagonizó con Peter Sellers.)



I married many men, a ton of them, 
and yet I was untrue to none of them,
because I bumped off ev'ry one of them 
to keep my love alive.

Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me.
At night he was a horse's neck to me,
so I performed an appendectomy,
to keep my love alive!

Sir Thomas had insomnia,
he couldn't sleep at night,
I bought a little arsenic,
he's sleeping now all right.

Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing.
I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing,
and now he plays where harps are just the thing,
to keep my love alive, to keep my love alive.

I thought Sir George had possibilites,
but his flirtations made me ill at ease,
and when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease
to keep my love alive.

Sir Charles came from a sanatorium,
and yelled for drinks in my emporium.
I mixed one drink, he's in memoriam,
to keep my love alive!

Sir Francis was a singing bird,
a nightingale,that's why 
I tossed him off my balcony
to see if he could fly.

Sir Athelstane indulged in fratricide,
he killed his dad and that was patricide.
One night I stabbed him by my mattress side,
to keep my love alive, to keep my love alive.
