MIKA - Grace Kelly [by Marvin Mugavero]

In occasione del 30° compleanno di Mika, ecco un mio omaggio a lui dedicato, nonchè un'imitazione di questo grande artista. Dopo Underwater, rieccomi quindi nei panni di Mika con la sua memorabile hit d'esordio. La canzone, qui in versone piano e voce, fu il primo singolo internazionale tratto dall'album Life in Cartoon Motion del 2007. Per chi non lo sapesse Mika sarà presto giudice nella prossima edizione di X-Factor Italia, accanto ad Elio, Morgan e Simona Ventura. Attualmente un nuovo singolo del cantautore ango-libanese è in rotazione radiofonica in questa estate 2013. Si tratta di "Live Your Life", colonna sonora dell'ultimo spot Wind con Vanessa Incontrada e Giorgio Panariello, nonchè della nota pubblicità della birra San Miguel in Spagna, dove ha già raggiunto i primi posti della classifica e dell'airplay. Tra le future collaborazioni per il quarto album figura quella con Chiara Galiazzo, con la quale ha già duettato in "Stardust". A seguire testo e traduzione di "Grace Kelly"...

- Lyrics
Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
