  • Historia de la canción

Every little thing she does is magic - The Police

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic es un single extraido del album “Ghost in the machine” de The Police. La canción alcanzo lo más alto de las listas de éxitos en el Reino Unido y llegó a ser número 3 en los Estados Unidos. Está escrita en Do Mayor.

Aunque fué publicada en 1981, en realidad Sting ya compuso la canción en 1976. Existe una primera versión acústica de ella cantada por Sting en el album de Strontium 90: Police Academy.

Sting reutilizó la siguiente estrofa de “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” como última estrofa de la canción “Oh my God” en su album Synchronicity (1983):

“Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days
Since we first met?
It’s a big enough umbrella
But it’s always me that ends up getting wet.”

La estrofa habla en primera persona del sentimiento de desamparo que siente el protagonista porque las cosas no parecen salirle nunca como quisiera. Se puede especular que al copiar la misma estrofa en las dos canciones Sting quiso establecer su sensación de desamparo ante Dios.

La parte del piano fué añadida por el teclista de estudio Jean Roussel el cual insistió e insistió hasta que le permitieron incluir ese trozo en la canción a pesar de que Sting estuvo en contra inicialmente.

  • Letra

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Though I’ve tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I’ve done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It’s a big enough umbrella
But it’s always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she’ll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
