Justin Timberlake foi o convidado musical do programa Saturday Night Live, no sábado (27), e apresentou duas músicas de seu próximo álbum, "Everything I Thought It Was". Ele cantou o novo single "Selfish" e a inédita, "Sanctified (Ft. Tobe Nwigwe)".
Para a faixa que estava estreando na TV, Justin entregou uma apresentação bastante performática. A canção une diversos estilos musicais, como pop, rock e hip hop, além de ter uma letra voltada para o estilo gospel.
Assista ao vídeo ao vivo de "Sanctified (Ft. Tobe Nwigwe)", com a letra e a tradução, abaixo:
"Sanctified"
You know I'm an animal (animal)
I belong in the wild, wild, wild
When I get out of control
Ain't no bringin' me down, down, down
You know I go crazy
I go off the wall, no MJ,
But I'm walkin' on moons
It's amazin', baby
I know you're a good one (good one)
Closest thing to a saint
So I come alive
Every (time) we interchange
Yeah, don't condemn me
I get down on my knees and confess to your temple
And you take me and you serve me mercy
Somethin' about
How we break all of the rules
Make a sinner feel so blessed
You take all of my wrongs
Move right along, take m? and fix my mess
Get me up wh?n I'm low,
Hand on my soul
Like you see right inside
I come out a new man
No blood on my hands
(Sing) Sanctified
Rid me of my sins
Take and forgive them
Make me a new man
And I'm sanctified
Sanctified
Rid me of my sins
Take and forgive them
Can I get a witness?
Sanctified
Sanctified
I gotta come to you (only you)
When I wanna repent
Surrender my all right at your throne and do it again
Yeah, you crucify me
Burn me up until there's nothin' left inside me
Right hand to your every word
My religion my love
Baptized in your ocean
Willin' and open, never enough
You never judge me
You just take your halo
Put it right above me
And there's somethin' about
How we break all of the rules
Make a sinner feel so blessed
You take all of my wrongs
Move right along, take me and fix my mess
Get me up when I'm low,
Hand on my soul
Like you see right inside
I come out a new man
No blood on my hands
(Sing it) Sanctified
Rid me of my sins
Take and forgive them
Can I get a witness?
Sanctified
Sanctified
I get down on my knees every night and I pray for you
(I get down on my knees yeah)
Don't you see you're my savior? I'm made for you
I get down on my knees every night and I pray for you
Don't you see you're my savior?
Swear it's only right that I -?
Hold the toast just for my protection
Need the Holy Ghost 'til the resurrection
But I still might beckon angels
My complexion to swoop down
Your direction and make your connection to me
Just a bit stronger
I know it's wrong to sit back and conjure
A million ways for you to heal the monster
That has been postured inside my loins
Yeah, boing
That's what it do when I see you
I know you see through me
And I ain't see through
But you never treat me like I am fecal matter
Wow had to smile
I know I ain't spoke to you like this awhile
I know you cried me a river like the Nile
But hell, I got baptized in it and came out
So so so so much better
Know I could never try to measure the weight of your glory
But sometimes with you,
It's like my head's in the pool
And my eyelids have opened
Chlorine, that ho can burn
But in return
All I discern is to be different
One has to unlearn
And just be
Sanctified
Rid me of my sins
Take and forgive them
Make me a new man
And I'm sanctified
Rid me of my sins
Take and forgive them
Can I get a witness?
Sanctified
Sanctified
Oooh, sanctified
"Santificado"
