And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going (song)


Δύο φωνάρες στο ίδιο τραγούδι επιλέξαμε σήμερα στη στήλη μας song of the day. Δύο φωνές που τις ακούς και ανατριχιάζεις με τη δύναμη, το συναίσθημα και τη ψυχή που αποπνέουν. Γιατί το And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going είναι μόνο για τέτοιες φωνές. Απαιτητικό όσο λίγα.

Πρώτα θα το ακούσουμε στην πρώτη του εκτέλεση. Αυτή ανήκει στη Jennifer Holliday, η οποία το 1982 έπαιξε στο μιούζικαλ του Broadway που ονομαζόταν Dreamgirls.


Και στη συνέχεια θα το ακούσουμε από τη μοναδική Jennifer Hudson που το ερμήνευσε μοναδικά στη μεταφορά του μιούζικαλ Dreamgirls στον κινηματογράφο το 2006.


And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going

And I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man I'll ever know.
There's no way I can ever go,
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
I'm not livin' without you.
I don't want to be free.
I'm stayin',
I'm stayin',
And you, and you, you're gonna love me.
Ooh, you're gonna love me.

And I am telling you
I'm not going,
Even though the rough times are showing.
There's just no way,
There's no way.
We're part of the same place.
We're part of the same time.
We both share the same blood.
We both have the same mind.
And time and time we have so much to share,

No, no, no,
No, no, no,
I'm not wakin' up tomorrow mornin'
And findin' that there's nobody there.
Darling, there's no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
I'm not livin' without you.
You see, there's just no way,
There's no way.

Please don't go
Away from me
Stay with me,stay with me
Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold me
Oh please stay and hold me
miss me
Try and miss me
Try and miss me
Oh i know, i know, i know you care

Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and shout.
You can say what you want,
I'm not walkin' out.
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike, and kill.
I'm not gonna leave you,
There's no way I will.

And I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man I'll ever know.
There's no way I could ever, ever go,
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
Oh, I'm not livin' without you,
I'm not livin' without you.
I don't wanna be free.
I'm stayin',
I'm stayin',
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me.
Oh, yeah, you're gonna love me,
Yes, you are, love me,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, love me,
Love me,
Love me,
Love me,
Love me.
You're gonna love me.
