Sade

Sade

Helen Folasade Adu más conocida como Sade (nacida el 16 de enero de 1959 en Ibadan, Nigeria) es una cantante y compositora británico-nigeriana. De madre inglesa y padre nigeriano, a los cuatro años se fue con su madre a vivir a Inglaterra, cuando ésta se separó de su padre. Durante su adolescencia no paraba de escuchar discos de Nina Simone, Peggy Lee y Astrud Gilberto. Este estilo de música le fascinaba. Ella todavía no pensaba en cantar en aquella época, sino en estudiar moda en la facultad de Saint Martin, y sólo se decide a presentarse como vocalista cuando un par de viejos amigos de la facultad crean un grupo "hasta que encuentren una cantante". Sus estudios de diseño la llevaron a abrir una boutique, pero su amor por la música la llevó a cantar en un grupo funky de cierto carácter latino que respondía al nombre de Arriva. Desde ese momento descubrió un extraño placer al escribir letras. Más tarde esta banda pasó a llamarse Pride y luego cambio a Sade, que es una abreviatura de Folasade. Y con Sade comenzo a conocerse también a su vocalista.

Letra de Sally
Sally,
You opened out your arms
To all those young men
And girl you had room
For every one of them
You're the only girl on bowery and third
Sure as hell you're the one who cared

So put your hands together for sally
She saved all those young men
Put your hands together for sally
She's the one who cared for them
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world one angry day, in New York

Take a look at Dave he was once seventeen
Soot suit and shinny shoes
He ran around town and through his methylated laughter
Most of his memories drowned
But he remembers what his mommy use to shout
She used to shout
One day surely son
The streets are gonna tire you out

So put your hands together for sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for sally
She was there when his luck was running thin
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day, in New York

Tommy had a wife and family
But the needle came between the love and the hard times
Thank God for Sally
She was there through the misery
Just a place to lay his head
Just about better off than dead
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry dame

Vince came up from the country
Couldn't even find himself a room
Thinking about his babies
That's further away than the moon
With no money but his pride in his pocket
There's really no way he can go home
There's a picture of his woman in his locket
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone

So put your hands together for Sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for sally
She was there when his luck was running thin
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day, in New York
