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.
