Mariah Carey è tornata: l’artista di The Emancipation of Mimi ha pubblicato quest’oggi, in barba al New Music Friday, il suo nuovo singolo I Don’t, collaborazione con il rapper YG.
Il pezzo è davvero piacevole, a mio avviso: il suo punto di forza sta nel fatto di aver compiuto un passo indietro piuttosto che avanti, nel senso che è un ritorno a sonorità più spiccatamente black e soul e meno facilotte come quelle a cui ci aveva abituato di recente. In sostanza, sembra che Mariah sia volta in un certo senso tornare al suo passato e personalmente trovo la scelta molto azzeccata.
Qualche giorno fa, Mariah aveva anticipato l’uscita del nuovo singolo con un video teaser su Facebook; I Don’t sarà il primo singolo estratto dal suo Me I Am Mariah….the Elusive Chanteuse, uscito nel 2014 (e flop di vendite).

Testo
Ladies & Gentlemen!
[YG:]
I know you love me
You just don’t trust me
You don’t understand me
But you love it when I call you Ms. Carey
I know you love me
You just don’t trust me
You need to understand me
But you love it when I call you Ms. Carey, yeah
[Mariah Carey:]
Somewhere in another life
We stole a moment in time
Gave you everything that you needed
I was even down to repeat it
Said you would always be mine
Feeding me nothing but lies
I was so gone, I admit it
Happy messed up for a minute
But I’m tired of cryin’, no more tears
Pity party of the year
Cold at night cause you’re not here
Leaving you was my worst fear
I was caught up, I was… blind
You kept playin’ with my… mind
Told you I’m finished, gassed up the whip and…
Rear view, bye
‘Cause when you love someone
You just don’t treat them bad
You messed up all we had
Prolly think I’m coming back
But I don’t, I don’t
‘Cause boy I was buggin’
Thinkin’ somehow I could trust you
See, I used to love you
But I don’t, I don’t
‘Cause boy I was buggin’
Thinkin’ somehow I could trust you
But you don’t mean nothing
‘Cause I don’t, I don’t
I tried to make it work, no matter know how much it hurt
You had to make it all about you
Tell me why you go and do me like you do?
I went from me and you
To walking right out on you
I know you want love, in your feelings
Frontin’ on me like your love was the realest
And I’m tired of cryin’, no more tears
Pity party of the year
Cold at night cause you’re not here
Leaving you was my worst fear
I was caught up, I was… blind
You kept playin’ with my… mind
Told you I’m finished, gassed up the whip and…
Rear view, bye
‘Cause when you love someone
You just don’t treat them bad
You messed up all we had
Prolly think I’m coming back
But I don’t, I don’t
‘Cause boy I was buggin’
Thinkin’ somehow I could trust you
See, I used to love you
But I don’t, I don’t
‘Cause boy I was buggin’
Thinkin’ somehow I could trust you
But you don’t mean nothing
‘Cause I don’t, I don’t

I know you love me

But you love it when I call you Ms. Carey, yeah
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
Hold up, I just got you ring, for what?
I put you in the game, now it’s game over
Every time you went to the Louis store you got chauffeured
Hold up, how you gon’ leave that?
Hold up, give me my ring back
Never mind, you can keep that
‘Cause every time you look at your ring, me, you gon’ dream that
I know you love me
You just don’t trust me
You don’t understand me
But you love it when I call you Ms. Carey
I know you love me
You just don’t trust me
You need to understand me
But you love it when I call you Ms. Carey, yeah

Traduzione
Signore e signori
io so che mi ami
tu non mi credi
tu non mi capisci
ma tu ami quando ti chiamo signor Carey
io so che mi ami
tu non mi credi
tu mi devi capire
ma a te piace quando ti chiamo Miss Carey
da qualche parte in un’altra vita
abbiamo rubato un momento nel tempo
ti ho dato tutto quello di cui tu avevi bisogno
ero persino disposta a ripeterlo
