Frasi di Prince

Prince, pseudonimo di Prince Rogers Nelson , è stato un cantautore, polistrumentista, compositore, produttore discografico, ballerino, musicista, arrangiatore, paroliere, attore, regista, sceneggiatore, showman ed imprenditore statunitense, popolare soprattutto negli anni ottanta e novanta.

Il nome Prince deriva dal nome della band dove il padre suonava, ovvero i "Prince Rogers Trio". La vena artistica del cantante di Minneapolis lo ha portato a produrre continuamente nuovi brani, ma anche ad essere tra i pionieri della vendita on-line su Internet: infatti alcuni suoi prodotti sono acquistabili solo dal suo sito.

Nel 2004 la rivista Rolling Stone lo ha inserito al 27º posto nella lista dei 100 migliori artisti.

Prince: Frasi in inglese

“I want to live life to the ultimate high,
Maybe I'll die young like heroes die,
Maybe I'll kiss you some wild special way.
If nobody kills me or thrills me soon,
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon.”

Song lyrics, For You (1978)

“I’ve never seen the moon look so lovely as the night I saw it with you.

But to compare it to a beauty like yours would give one pause.”

It seems that I was busy doin' somethin' close 2 nothin',
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her,
She walked in through the out door …out door.She wore a raspberry beret
The kind U find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her.”

4 the face it attracts

Ask where they're going
They'll tell U nowhere
They've taken a lifetime lease
On Paisley Park.”

When U drove me 2 the place
Where your horses run free.

When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me.Believe it or not,
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class.
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And U say, "Baby, have U got enough gas?"”
