"Don't Wait Too Long" is the only original track from Madeleine Peyroux's second solo album Careless Love and it was written by Peyroux herself, Jesse Harris and Larry Klein. The song was released as a single, so Rounder Records made an EP, which also contained an acoustic version of "Don't Cry Baby" (a Bessie Smith cover). In 2006, at a concert in Moore, Peyroux was quoted saying that her "whole life is in this song".
Madeleine Peyroux (Athens, 1974) é uma cantora de jazz americana, que escreve e interpreta suas próprias composições e letras. É especialmente lembrada por seu estilo vocal, que em muito lembra o estilo da cantora Billie Holiday.
Peyroux nasceu no estado da Geórgia, no Sul dos Estados Unidos, mas viveu também na Califórnia, na cidade de Nova Iorque e em Paris. O seu pai era um aspirante de actor que "ouvia música a toda a hora" e a sua mãe era uma professora de francês. Peyroux, que já classificou os seus pais como "educadores excêntricos" e "hippies", aprendeu a tocar o ukelele da sua mãe quando ainda era criança. Numa entrevista que deu no programa "Live From Abbey Road", disse que a música era a forma de estarem todos juntos eM um local "especial e escondido" da casa.




You can cry a million tears
You can wait a million years
If you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

When your morning turns to night
Who'll be loving you by candlelight
If you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

Maybe I got a lot to learn
Time can slip away
Sometimes you got to lose it all
Before you find your way

Take a chance, play your part
Make romance, it might break your heart
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

It may rain, it may shine
Love will age like fine red wine
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

Maybe you and I got a lot to learn
Don't wait another day
Maybe you got to lose it all
Before you find your way

Take a chance, play your part
Make romance, it might break your heart
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long
Don't wait

Hmm... Don't wait

À quoi tu joues beau ténébreux, avec tes yeux couleur d'automne
Tes joues qui fondent, le ventre creux
Qu'est-ce que tu veux, Buster Keaton ?
Besoin d'amour et de tendresse, de contre-jour et de caresse
Ton petit coeur nécessiteux qui fait la manche dans mes cheveux
Qu'est-c'que tu veux ?

Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne, que je te couche sur le dos
Oui mais ce soir, t'as pas de veine, je suis la Vénus du Mélo

Avec tes mines et tes manières quand tu composes sans avoir l'air
Tes mains qui braillent et ton oeil noir et qui se pose sur mon peignoir
Cauchemard, frayeur et gros chagrin, tu as rêvé que t'était nain
Que tes espoirs étaient en feu et que l'amour n'était qu'un jeu
Qu'est-c'que tu veux ?

Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne, que je te couche sur le dos
Oui mais ce soir, c'est pas la peine, je suis la Vénus du Mélo

Avec ton grand corps qui baîlle, tendre animal, beau paresseux
Ton petit sourire qui trouve la faille craque le premier de nous deux
Viens si tu veux...

Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne, que je te couche sur le dos
Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne

Je suis la Vénus du Mélo, je suis la Vénus du Mélo.

Ripenserai agli angeli
Al caffè caldo svegliandoti
Mentre passa distratta la notizia di noi due
Dicono che mi servirà
Se non uccide fortifica
Mentre passa distratta la tua voce alla tv
Tra la radio e il telefono risuonerà il tuo addio

Di sere nere
Che non c'è tempo
Non c'è spazio
E mai nessuno capirà
Puoi rimanere
Perché fa male male
Male da morire
Senza te
Senza te
Senza te

Ripenserei che non sei qua
Ma mi distrae la pubblicità
Tra gli orari ed il traffico lavoro e tu ci sei
Tra il balcone e il citofono ti dedico I miei guai

Di sere nere
Che non c'è tempo
Non c'è spazio
E mai nessuno capirà
Puoi rimanere
Perché fa male male
Male da morire
Senza te

Ho combattuto il silenzio parlandogli addosso
E levigato la tua assenza solo con le mie braccia
E più mi vorrai e meno mi vedrai
E meno mi vorrai e più sarò con te
E più mi vorrai e meno mi vedrai
E meno mi vorrai e più sarò con te
E più sarò con te, con te, con te
Lo giuro
Di sere nere
Che non c'è tempo
Non c'è spazio
E mai nessuno capirà
Puoi rimanere
Perché fa male male
Male da morire
Senza te
Senza te
Senza te
Senza te
