Letras com nota artística #10 - "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

dezembro 16, 2017

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.
