LIKE A VIRGIN (1984) Madonna

És potser una de les cançons més identificatives de l'artista nord- americana. Va ser el seu primer single del disc del mateix nom, arribant als primers llocs de les llistes americanes i europees.

Es va presentar per primera vegada als MTV Video Music Awards del 1984, quan encara el disc no havia vist la llum. L'actuació de Madonna, que era la que obria la cerimònia, va ser molt recordada i molt polèmica per l'època (sortia vestida de núvia damunt d'un pastís de noces). La cançó relata com una noia, que acaba de deixar una relació tormentosa, inicia una de nova sentint-se si tot fos nou per ella, com si fos verge. El fet de que es toqués un tema tan delicat, amb una lletra amb tants dobles sentits va escandalitzar una part de la societat.

Avui dia, Like a Virgin continúa sonant en els concerts Madonna, encara que adaptada als estils que la cantant es reinventa disc a disc.


Like A Virgin

spoken
Zilder: She´s like a blushing bride
She says you make her feel like a virgin
Duke: A virgin?
Zidler:
You know, touched for the very first time
She says it feels so good inside
When you hold her
And you touch her
Like a virgin

She´s made it through the wilderness somehow
She made it though
She didn´t know how lost she was
Until she found you

She was beat incomplete
She´d been had
She was sad and blue
But you made her feel
Yes you made her feel
Shiny and new

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats close in time

If you want her love
Fear is fading fast
She´s saving it all for you
Only love can last

She´s so fine and she´s nice
She´ll be yours til the end of time
Cause you made her feel
Yes you made her feel
She had nothing to hide

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats close in time

Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold her and you touch her

Duke:
She´s so fine
And she´s mine
She makes me strong
Yes she makes me bold
And her love thawed out
Yes her love for thawed out
What was scared and cold

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats close in time

Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold her and you touch her
And you hold her and you touch her

Like a virgin
