Vienna

Estava eu conversando com uma criatura no msn, uma conversa leve, brincadeiras aqui, brincadeiras ali, quando o papo voltou-se brevemente para a área musical. Indicações de ambos os lados foram feitas, e uma das canções que ela me sugeriu ouvir foi "Vienna" do pianista norte-americano Billy Joel. Fui escutar por escutar mesmo e me surpreendi não apenas com a beleza da melodia, mas com a pertinência da letra, até me assustei.

Tem coisas na vida que te fazem refletir muito e acontecem da forma mais inesperada e inocente possível. É só uma música? sim, pode ser, mas para o momento que estou vivendo... quem me conhece entenderá. Abaixo deixo a letra, e sugiro que ouçam a canção.

Slow down, you crazy child.
You're so ambitious for a juvenile.
But then if you're so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire? What's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out.
You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day.

Don't you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine.
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time,
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight.
Too bad, but it's the life you lead.
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need.
Though you can see when you're wrong,
You know, you can't always see when you're right, you're right.

You've got your passion. You've got your pride,
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child.
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while.
It's all right you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Don't you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Fiquem bem.
