Ana Moura *Moura #14* Lilac Wine

℗ 2015 Universal Music Portugal, S.A.
Songwriter: James Shelton (1950)
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love

This is one of the best interpretations By Ana Moura among the many she has offered us.

[@helmutwollinger6091]

This song fits the voice of Ana Moura like a glove. No other voice sounds better.

[@manuelcarneiro5280]

Ainda bem que Ana Moura não se fica apenas pelo fado e leva o seu talento a outras paragens. Esta versão de Lilac Wine é muito boa.

[@correiacarlosmanuel]

Maravilhosa versão !!!!!

[@magni2073]

Great song and so well sung.

[@ElTarotMx]

[@SquatchRN]

one of the best versions ive heard.

[@Jake-oc5xz]

+Matt C Then you didn't hear the best . Elkie Brooks.

[@SquatchRN]

***** no i heard that one too. She is good but not the best imo.

[@Jake-oc5xz]

+Matt C Elkie Brooks voice is much better More original , this is nice , but very forgettable.

[@edwardmcgillivary6094]

+Matt C totally agree with Jackie, Elkie's version is the best.

You mean you think Brook's version is 'better'!

[@Jake-oc5xz]

@@philipsnow6211 no I know it's better.

[@Jake-oc5xz]

It's best by Elkie Brooks . he version by Elkie Brooks is the ONLY version to have chart success in Europe and the U.K.

[@Obstsalatissimo]

Well chart success has NOTHING to do with artistic quality. Often quite to the contrary. That's nothing to say against Elki B , only against the amiss, almost perverse logic being used above

[@Jake-oc5xz]

@@Obstsalatissimo Elkie Brooks has a far superior voice.

[@Obstsalatissimo]

@@Jake-oc5xz if you declare that it is so, then it must be so, of course, please excuse my ignorance

[@Jake-oc5xz]

[@edwardmcgillivary6094]

This is nice. But for me the best versions are by Elkie Brooks and Nina Simone.

[@Jake-oc5xz]

Elkie Brooks voice is much better , it has a more Rock/ Jazz feel to it. IMO

[@reriz2]

Ana Moura was, at least, good enough to be backed up on stage by some one called Prince Roger Nelson, her personal friend, live in Portugal back in 2010 ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6GleI2cZ8lroZI
