Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale (1967)

We skipped the light Fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
as the Miller told his tale
that her face,
at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
and the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
they might just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
as the Miller told his tale
that her face,
at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was...

Testo della canzone (traduzione italiana)

Un'Ombra Più Bianca Del Pallido
Noi ignorammo il leggero Fandango
come carrelli ruotanti per tutto il pavimento
Io avevo una specie di mal di mare
ma la folla ci chiamava fuori per avere di più
La stanza stava canticchiando così forte
che il tetto stava per volare via
Quando chiedemmo un altro drink
il cameriere portò un vassoio
E fu così che più tardi
appena il Mugnaio raccontò la sua storia
che la sua faccia,
all'inizio solo pallida come un fantasma,
diventò un'ombra più bianca del pallido
Lei disse che non c'era ragione
e la verità è facile da vedere
Ma io vagai tra le mie carte da gioco
e non volevo lasciare che lei fosse
una delle sedici vestali vergini
che stavano partendo per la costa
E anche se i miei occhi erano aperti
potevano benissimo anche essere chiusi
E fu così che più tardi,
appena il Mugnaio raccontò la sua storia,
che la sua faccia,
all'inizio solo pallida come un fantasma,
diventò un'ombra più bianca del pallido
E così fu...

  • Contrary to popular belief, the song is not a direct copy or paraphrase of any music by Bach.

    It's no Bach piece, and all credit goes to composers Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher.
