D… Read Full Bio ↴Laura Fygi (born August 27, 1955, in Amsterdam) is a Dutch singer.
Daughter to a Dutch father, a manager at Philips, and an Egyptian mother, a belly dancer by profession, Fygi lived with her parents in South America for the first eight years of her life.
Between 1987 and 1991, she was a member of popular Dutch girl-band, Centerfold. During performances, the trio dressed themselves in sexy lingerie. They had hits in the Netherlands and all over Europe, and were equally famous in Japan.
In 1991, the ladies of Centerfold stopped performing and Fygi (together with Rowan Moore) started a band called The Backlot. After one performance in Dutch theatre Paradiso, an album was expected, but Mercury Records had already asked Fygi to make a solo album. This first album, Introducing Laura Fygi, comprised mostly jazz numbers, and was produced by Ruud Jacobs. In the album, Fygi was accompanied by celebrated Belgian musician Toots Thielemans.

Laura Fygi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please switch off the lights
Pale moon is shining
The feeling's alright
Hand on the torch
Let's dance on the porch
Love takes it's time so there's no need to scorch
Romancing of you
While I'm feeling so blue
Makes my desire cry out for you
This is what you should do
Walk with me, talk with me
I'm on a roll
Please hear my song
it won't take too long
I got so much to say
Baby don't go astray
Hot summer nights beg for a midnight stroll
Romancing of you
While I'm feeling so blue
Makes my desire cry out for you
This is what you should do
Walk with me, talk with me
I'm on a roll
Please hear my song
it won't take too long
I got so much to say
Baby don't go astray
Hot summer nights beg for a midnight stroll
