Questions 67 & 68

Outro raro achado do Chicago, uma das minhas bandas favoritas. Trata-se da música “Questions 67 & 68”, gravada no ano de 1967. O vídeo abaixo foi feito em Paris, em 1969, segundo a descrição no YouTube. Ainda segundo esta descrição, o show fez parte do primeiro “tour” da banda pela Europa, promovendo seu primeiro álbum, que chamava-se “Chicago Transit Authority”, de 1967. Aliás, este era também o nome da banda na época, que mudaria depois para apenas “Chicago”. A música é composta de várias perguntas, como o título já indica, e a letra está logo abaixo do vídeo.

QUESTIONS 67 & 68 (Robert Lamm)

Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh, suddenly exist between?
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh, happen just today, some way?

I'd like to know
Can you tell me? Please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind as a beautifully mysterious thing

Was your image in my mind so deeply
Oooh, other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Oooh, leavin' just a burnin' love

I'd like to know
Can you tell me? Please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind as a beautifully mysterious thing

Can this loving we have found within us
Oooh, suddenly exist between?
Did we somehow try to make it happen?
Oooh, was it just a natural thing?

I'd like to know
Can you tell me? Please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind as a beautifully mysterious thing
