Meus caros, hoje venho criar polémica (que é para isso que a internet serve) à volta de um dos maiores hits natalícios de sempre. Uma música de amor que afinal não é assim tão amorosa.

"I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, oooh

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

I'm just going to keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)

Oh, all the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just want to see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas is...

Youuuu

You, baby

Youuuu

All, all, all, all

Youuuu"

Como não pretendo de todo chatear ninguém com uma análise cansativa (e porque não tenho muito a dizer) vou focar-me em dois versos chave: "I don't want a lot for Christmas" e "all I want for Christmas is you". 

Mariah Carey começa por dizer que não quer muito neste natal e depois repete várias vezes ao longo da música que quer determinada pessoa. Já toda a gente percebeu onde é que eu quero chegar com isto, certo?

Isto das análises a letras de músicas de natal está a tornar-se uma tradição por aqui. Para quem quiser ver as análises dos últimos dois anos, é aqui: Last Christmas e Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
