NOTIFAL/Choir, State Falcon. .- (en inglés) Shortly after taking the stage tonight for a fundraiser at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, President Obama broke into song. Obama, standing behind the presidential podium, thanked his hosts and the performers who preceded him, including soul singer Al Green. “To know that Rev. Al Green was here!” Obama said. Then, after a pause, he began to sing the opening line of one of Green’s hit songs from 1972: “Let’s Stay Together.” “I’m…. sooo in love….” The crowd of 1,400 supporters went wild. The lyrics of full opening stanza of the song read: “I’m, I’m so in love with you. Whatever you want to do. Is alright with me ‘Cause you make me feel, so brand new. And I want to spend my life with you.” The tune’s refrain underscores a theme of Obama’s re-election campaign: “Let’s, let’s stay together. Loving you whether, whether. Times are good or bad, happy or sad.” (The president did not sing this part, however.) “Those guys didn’t think I would do it. I told you I was going to do it,” Obama said with a smile and a chuckle, looking off stage. “The sandman did not come out. Now don’t worry, (inaudible) I cannot sing like you, but I just wanted to show my appreciation,” he said. The Apollo event was Obama’s fourth campaign event of the night in New York City. It was hosted by Tony Award-winning composer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda with performances by soul singer Green and vocal artist India.Arie. Tickets were $200 apiece for general admission.

Obama, que está de pie detrás del podio presidencial, agradeció a sus anfitriones y los ejecutantes que lo precedieron, incluyendo al cantante de alma Al Verde. ¡" Saber que Reverendo Al Green estaba aquí! " Obama dijo. Entonces, después de una pausa, él comenzó a cantar la línea de apertura de una de las canciones de golpe de Green a partir de 1972: " Vaya a Quedarse Juntos. " " Soy. sooo enamorado. " La muchedumbre de 1,400 partidarios fue salvaje. La lírica de estrofa de apertura llena de la canción leída: " Soy, estoy tan enamorado de usted. Independemente de usted quiere hacer. Está bien conmigo ' la Causa usted me hace sentirme, tan nuevo. Y quiero gastar mi vida con usted. " El estribillo de la melodía subraya un tema de la campaña de reelección de Obama: " Vaya a, vaya a quedarse juntos.
