Candilejas - José Augusto - instrumental cover by Dave Monk

Here is my instrumental version of "Candilejas (Footlights)" by José Augusto.
I always knew this fabulous music as "Limelight".
I am playing it on my 50's Series Fender Stratocaster through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. I always recommend earphones; preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

The Song
Limelight is a 1952 American comedy-drama film written, produced, directed by, and starring Charlie Chaplin, based on a novella by Chaplin titled Footlights (Candilejas). The score was composed by Chaplin and arranged by Ray Rasch.

The film stars Chaplin as a washed-up comedian who saves a suicidal dancer, played by Claire Bloom, from killing herself, and both try to get through life; additional roles are provided by Nigel Bruce, Sydney Earl Chaplin, Wheeler Dryden, and Norman Lloyd, with an appearance from Buster Keaton. In dance scenes, Bloom is doubled by Melissa Hayden.

In 1973 José Augusto,a Brazilian singer-songwriter, sang Candilejas.

Lyrics
Tú llegaste a mi cuando me voy
Eres luz de abril, yo tarde gris
Eres juventud, amor, calor, fulgor de sol
Trajiste a mí tu juventud cuando me voy

Entre candilejas te adoré
Entre candilejas yo te amé
La felicidad que diste a mi vivir se fue
No volverá nunca jamás, lo sé muy bien

Tú llegaste a mi cuando me voy
Eres luz de abril, yo tarde gris
Eres juventud, amor, calor, fulgor de sol
Trajiste a mí tu juventud cuando me voy

Entre candilejas te adoré
Entre candilejas yo te amé
La felicidad que diste a mi vivir se fue
No volverá nunca jamás, lo sé muy bien
