La dulce lulu que nos conquistó en 1969

En 1969 gana Eurovisión en un momento sin precedentes en el que cuatro canciones se alzan victoriosas. Ha sido una de las representantes de Reino Unido y de todo Eurovisión mas coquetas, alegres y con mucha naturalidad en el escenario. Me fascina Lulu y este post en su honor. 

Lulu nace un 3 de noviembre de 1948 en Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire, Esocia, Reino Unido. Ademas de cantante es compositora y actriz y una figura mediática en su país.

Aquí la voz de primera entre las ganadoras de Eurovisión 1969 y Massiel ganadora del año anterior en el centro.

Su presentación en Eurovisión es una de mis preferidas, ahora con todos ustedes la letra de su canción insignia "Boom Bang-A-Bang"

Come closer, come closer and listenThe beat of my heart keeps on missingI notice it most when we’re kissingCome closer and love me tonightThat’s rightCome closer and cuddle me tightMy heart goes Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bangWhen you are nearBoom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bangLoud in my earPounding away, pounding awayWon’t you be mine?Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the timeIt’s such a lovely feelingWhen I’m in your armsDon’t go awayI wanna stay my whole life throughBoom bang-a-bang-bangClose to youYour smile is so warm and invitingThe thought of your kiss is excitingSo hold me and don’t keep me waitingCome closer and love me tonightThat’s rightCome closer and cuddle me tightMy heart goesBoom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bangWhen you are nearBoom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bangLoud in my earPounding away, pounding awayWon’t you be mine?Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the timeIt’s such a lovely feelingWhen I’m in your armsNow you are nearI wanna hear your heartbeat tooBoom bang-a-bang-bangI love youIt’s such a lovely feelingWhen I’m in your armsNow you are nearI wanna hear your heartbeat tooBoom bang-a-bang-bangBoom bang-a-bang-bangBoom bang-a-bang-bangI love youAsi luce hoy
