Purple Rain

Prince and the Revolution......Purple Rain. Último tema del álbum del mismo título y banda sonora de la película homónima.

Publicado en 1984 el tema fue grabado en directo sufriendo diversas variaciones en grabaciones posteriores con mayor o menor duración en cada ocasión. Es de los pocos temas que Prince ha incluído prácticamente en todos sus conciertos, siendo para la revista "Rolling Stone" la canción nº 143 entre las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos; lo cual no habla muy  bien de dicha revista.

Temazo, señores¡¡¡


I never meant to cause you any sorrow.
I never meant to cause you any pain.
I only wanted to one time see you laughing.
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.

Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain.

I never wanted to be your weekend lover.
I only wanted to be some kind of friend.
Baby I could never steal you from another.
It's such a shame our friendship had to end.

Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain.

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing.
It's time we all reach out for something new,
That means you too.
You say you want a leader,
But you can't seem to make up your mind.
I think you better close it,
And let me guide you to the purple rain.

Purple rain, Purple rain
Purple rain, Purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here.
C'mon raise your hand.

Purple rain, Purple rain

I only want to see you, only want to see you.
