Someone To Wacht to Me

George Gershwin

There's a saying old says that love is blind,
Still we're often told, "Seek and ye shall find."
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet;
He's the big affair I cannot forget.
Only man I ever think of with regret.
I'd like to add his initials to my monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

Chorus:
There's a somebody I'm longing to see,
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood.
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome.
To my heart he carries the key.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone who'll watch over me.



Nara Leão cantou assim:
"Sei que existe alguém que é feito pra mim
E sendo assim, que seja enfim
Alguém que olhe por mim
Não sou mais que um carneirinho perdido
Arrependido e oferecido
Pra alguém que olhe por mim
Pode não ser  uma beleza
Mas tem com certeza
A chave do meu coração
Diga a ele que é pra não se perder
Não sei dizer
Sem depender de
De alguém que olhe por mim"

Da Ópera Porgy and Bess de George Gerswin.
