夜店魅音：加拿大小天后Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

Nelly Furtado 的成名就像是一场美梦：祖籍葡萄牙，出生成长于加拿大，父母都来自勤奋的劳工阶级，母亲的工作是女佣。小时候，Nelly曾一连8个暑假到旅馆当女服务员。虽然在学校里她是个不安份的坏女孩，但其展露出的音乐才华的确令人不可小视，吉他、长号以及尤克里里（一种来自葡萄牙的小吉他）样样精通。

In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips¹ from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
Do you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonite you tonite

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another brick² that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy³
Do you really want to go?
