Hearts at Union Square
샌프란시스코에 관한 노래 중 아마 젤 유명한 노래는 바로 토니 베넷 할아버지가 부르시는 I left my heart in San Francisco 가 아닐까.
1954년 만들어진 이 노래는 베넷 할아버지의 같은 제목의 앨범으로 1962년 레코딩 되었다.
샌프란시스코의 공식노래이기도 한 이 곡.
아쉽게도 밑에 동영상에서 그는 첫부분은 싹 빼먹고 중간부터 부르시지만 굳이 이걸로 올린 이유는
베넷 할아버지 만큼 나이드신 분의 피아노 연주도 노래 못지 않게 좋기 때문. ^^
I left my heart in San Francisco - Tony Bennett
(The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay.)
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me.
다음의 샌프란시스코란 제목의곡은 위의 곡과는 앨범이 출시된 년도의 차이만큼이나 많이 다른 노래.
피아노 연주실력이 뛰어난 싱어 송 라이터, 바네사 칼튼이 2004년도에 레코딩한 Harmonium 앨범에 수록된 곡이다.
듣고 있으면 리드미컬한 피아노 소리처럼 마음이 경쾌해지는 노래. ^^
San Francisco - Vanessa Carlton
I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss
Love is dancing on my finger
He got to the heart of the matter and lingered
And now I'm walking with the living
I always liked Steinbeck and those old men whistling
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back and you tell me I am home
Talkin' in the mission
Over coffee, this is my utopia
Then, I'll be your lady
As the ocean rises, the sun is fading
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, we're back in San Fran......
And now, I feel the ever after
Over red wine on the eve of summer
The buzz, the buzz of the city
As we settle in it's majesty
I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back and you tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
Back in San Francisco
And I know what you did in San Francisco
I know what you did in San Francisco
San Francisco
