Il terzo singolo da “Folklore” narra una storia d’amore saffica
Sappiamo bene che Taylor Swift, in questi anni, ha scritto canzoni per tutti i suoi fidanzati, prima d’amore poi di rottura quando sono diventati ex…E ne ha avuti parecchio.
Ma quello che descrive in “Folklore” e nel singolo “betty” (con la b minuscola perché tutti i titoli delle canzoni dell’album iniziano con la lettera minuscola) è diverso. Nella canzone parla di un ragazzo di diciassette anni, e “betty” non è altro che il seguito di “august” a sua volta seguito di “cardigan”.
Ryan Reynolds con la moglie Blake Lively
Ma James, il diciassettenne della canzone non è un maschio, ma bensì una femmina, e la storia è completamente inventata. Le protagoniste sono le tre figlie di Ryan Renolds e Blake Lively. Infatti nel testo in Inglese non veniva specificato il sesso di James, che è ispirata dalla figlia di cinque anni della coppia, che appunto si chiama James. Inez invece è la figlia di tre anni della coppia. Taylor ha fatto da madrina a tutte e due le bambine per il Battesimo.
Ma la coppia ha avuto una terza figlia nel 2019, anche se non hanno annunciato il suo nome. Ora sappiamo che la bambina tenuta nel mistero si chiama proprio Betty, (o più probabilmente Elizabeth, Betty potrebbe essere solo un soprannome) ma non sappiamo se Taylor sia stata madrina anche della terza figlia della coppia di attori.
La 30enne ha poi spiegato di aver scritto la canzone pensando a un adolescente che aveva appena perso l’amore della sua vita. Il nome James che è sia femminile che maschile regala quindi il racconto di una storia d’amore in cui tutti si possono riconoscere:
“Ho sempre amato il fatto che nella musica puoi scivolare in diverse identità e puoi cantare dalle prospettive di altre persone. Quindi è quello che ho fatto con questo”
Vediamo dunque video, testo e traduzione di “betty” che speriamo abbia un grande successo quando verrà lanciato in radio il 17 Agosto 2020, data che non è stata scelta a caso, ma che rispecchia l’età della James della storia.

Il lyric video di “betty”
TESTO
Betty, I won’t make assumptions
About why you switched your homeroom, but
I think it’s ’cause of me
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
When I passed your house
It’s like I couldn’t breathe
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can’t believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
But I know I miss you
Betty, I know where it all went wrong
Your favorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
I was nowhere to be found
I hate the crowds, you know that
Plus, I saw you dance with him
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can’t believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
But I know I miss you
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
Just thinking of you when she pulled up like
A figment of my worst intentions
She said “James, get in, let’s drive”
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long
Betty, I’m here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But it’s finally sinkin’ in
Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when
You see my face again
The only thing I wanna do
Is make it up to you
So I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Will you have me? Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch
In front of all your stupid friends?
If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
But I know I miss you
Standing in your cardigan
Kissin’ in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
You know I miss you
TRADUZIONE
Betty, non farò supposizioni
Sul perché hai cambiato casa, ma
Penso che sia a causa mia
Betty, una volta stavo andando sul mio skateboard
Quando sono passata davanti a casa tua
È come se non potessi respirare
Hai sentito le voci da Inez
Non puoi credere a una parola che dice
La maggior parte delle volte, ma questa volta era vero
La cosa peggiore che abbia mai fatto
È quello che ti ho fatto
Ma se mi fossi presentata alla tua festa
Mi avresti? Mi vorresti?
Mi diresti di andare a farmi fo**ere
O mi conduci in giardino?
In giardino, ti fideresti di me
Se ti dicessi che era solo una cosa estiva?
Ho solo diciassette anni, non so niente
Ma so che mi manchi
Betty, so dove è andato tutto storto
La tua canzone preferita stava suonando
Dall’altra parte della palestra
Non mi trovavo da nessuna parte
Odio la folla, lo sai
Inoltre, ti ho visto ballare con lui
Hai sentito le voci da Inez
Non puoi credere a una parola che dice
La maggior parte delle volte, ma questa volta era vero
La cosa peggiore che abbia mai fatto
È quello che ti ho fatto
Ma se mi fossi presentata alla tua festa
Mi avresti? Mi vorresti?
Mi diresti di andare a farmi fo**ere
O mi conduci in giardino?
In giardino, ti fideresti di me
Se ti dicessi che era solo una cosa estiva?
Ho solo diciassette anni, non so niente
Ma so che mi manchi
Stavo tornando a casa su ciottoli rotti
Sto solo pensando a te quando lei si è fermata
Un frutto delle mie peggiori intenzioni
Ha detto “James, sali, guidiamo”
Quei giorni si sono trasformati in notti
Ho dormito accanto a lei, ma
Ti ho sognata per tutta l’estate
Betty, sono qui a portata di mano
E l’ho pianificato da settimane ormai
Ma finalmente sta succedendo
Betty, adesso è l’ultima volta
Posso sognare cosa succede quando
Vedi di nuovo la mia faccia
L’unica cosa che voglio fare
È per te
Quindi mi sono presentata alla tua festa
Sì, mi sono presentata alla tua festa
Sì, mi sono presentata alla tua festa
Mi avrai? Mi amerai?
Mi bacerai sotto il portico
Di fronte a tutti i tuoi stupidi amici?
Se mi baci, sarà proprio come l’ho sognato?
Rattopperà le tue ali rotte?
Ho solo diciassette anni, non so niente
Ma so che mi manchi
In piedi nel tuo cardigan
Baciandoci nella macchina ancora
Mi sono fermata a un lampione
Lo sai che mi manchi

23 Dic 2020Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.|

25 Dic 2020Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance.

25 Dic 2020Everything said made a great deal of sense. However, think on this, what if you composed a catchier post title? I am not saying your information is not solid, however suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab people excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.|

5 Gen 2021Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks|
