Bateu-me...

Bamboleei. A música 12 do álbum "Pearl Jam", "Come Back", emocionou-me numa intensidade singular à primeira audição. Fez-me pensar no meu Irmão Fidji, que faleceu num domingo, dia 30 de Outubro de 2005. Prefiro não dedicar palavras que pequem por excesso. Ouço agora "Come Back" de novo. Deixo-vos a letra, que copio palavra a palavra do livro do cd, pela memória do meu Irmão. O final parte-me todo.

"Come Back"

(Pearl Jam)

If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through?

Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel

I've been wishing out the days,.. come back.

I have been planning out,. all that I'd say to you

Since you slipped away,... know that I still remain true

I've been wishing out the days,..

Please say, that if you hadn't gone now

I wouldn't have lost you another way

From wherever you are,.... come back.

And these days, they linger on

And in the night, as I'm waiting on

The real possibility I may meet you in my dream

If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear

So you had to go,......... and I had to remain here

But the strangest thing to date

So far away

And yet you feel so close

And I'm not gonna question it any other way

There must be an open door

For you to

Come back

And these days, they linger on

And every night, what I'm waiting for

Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream

And sometimes you're there

And you're talking back to me

Come the morning I could swear you're next to me

And it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'll be here

Come Back

Come Back

I'll be here
Come Back
Come Back

I'll be here
Come Back
Come Back
