Patti Smith – Because The Night

Bruce Springsteen la scrisse per se stesso ma non potendola inserire nel disco per mancanza di spazio la passò a Patti Smith che la rielaborò adattandola ad una donna.

Nel 1987 Because the Night è stata inserita nella posizione 116 della classifica “I migliori 150 singoli di tutti i tempi” del periodico inglese NME.

Il testo di Because the Night (Che significa Perchè la notte). Il testo è leggermente diverso da quello del video.

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I’m in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can’t hurt you now,
Can’t hurt you now, can’t hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I’m alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can’t touch you now,
Can’t touch you now, can’t touch you now

Because the night belongs to lovers …

With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it’s time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers …

Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers …
