1833 (do espanto de viver) - Father and son

[Father]
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

[Son]
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

[Father]
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

[Son]
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

Cat Stevens

1277 - There's so much you have to know

Há muitos anos que não ouvia isto! Redescobri o disco hoje por um mero acaso...

Ouvi e não pude deixar de pensar em mim e nos meus filhos que têm toda a vida e o mundo pela frente...

Não vem ao caso considerações se sou/fui ou não um bom pai mas apenas um vago sentimento que não dá para lhes dar muitos conselhos. têm e querem viver a vida deles. Sabem que eu estou com eles e que os ouço!

isso sabem!

Sabem que estou aqui disponível. Quanto ao resto, claro que procuro aconselhar, mas... pode a torrente ser parada por uma parede de barro?

Mas lá que têm muito que aprender e muita cabeçada a dar, lá isso têm...

Senta-te aí

Está na hora de ouvires o teu pai
Puxa para ti essa cadeira
Cada qual é que escolhe aonde vai
Hora-a-hora e durante a vida inteira

Podes ter uma luta que é só tua
Ou então ir e vir com as marés
Se perderes a direcção da Lua
Olha a sombra que tens colada aos pés

Estou cansado. Aceita o testemunho
Não tenho o teu caminho pra escrever
Tens de ser tu, com o teu próprio punho
Era isto o que te queria dizer

911 - É um pouco esquisofrénico eu sei...

Por estes dias vejo nublado à minha frente... Não são nada claras as opções futuras. Será que deveria apostar em algo diferente? Será que deveria deixar rolar e ver no que dá?

Parece-me perfeitamente estúpido deixar rolar, pois como diz a canção: "quem sabe faz a hora e não espera acontecer". Deverei seguir o conselho do pai? ou manter a lógica do filho que tudo quer e não o faz por menos?

"For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not."

Não sei... Por estes dias só vejo portas a fchar-se e não vejo que seja sensato sossegar. Etarei errado? Estarei a ser apenas impulsivo e sempre insatisfeito?

Sossega rapaz? Está tudo bem
Abre o leque de opções? Depois é tarde demais

Gostava tanto de ver claro e de ver cinco anos à frente

Father and son

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father

You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)
