California Dreamin´ The Mamas and The Papas ( mitad de los sesenta)

Supe de la existencia de este grupo en un E! True Hollywood Story acerca de la vida de Mama Cass Elliot en el 2001. Y en las sinopsis tocaban esta hermosa melodía que fue exito inmediato y The Mamas and The Papas ( John Philips, Michelle Phillips, Cass Elliot y Denny Doherty) se hicieron célebres. Esta canción fue compuesta por John Phillips (líder de la banda) porque su segunda esposa la joven y blonda Michelle ( oriunda de California) le dijo que extrañaba esa ciudad, porque en el lugar que estaban hacía mucho frío.

La canción

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

I stopped into a church (stopped into a church)
I passed along the way (passed along the way)
You know, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
Oh, the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)
Oh, California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown (the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)

Oh, California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
