Lembro-me de o ouvir desde pequenina e nunca imaginei que um dia pudesse receber o Prémio Nobel da Literatura. Foi uma grande surpresa que me levou numa viagem até ao passado.
Green Day fala-nos de alguém que viveu muito bem, que era orgulhosa, que....mas, um dia, tudo desapareceu, deixou até de ter onde viver.
Uma boa mensagem para quem acha que as coisas nunca mudam e se esquecem de ajudar quem precisa, de olhar, até, para quem está a seu lado porque o dinheiro os cegou.
Like a Rolling Stone
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody's ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
Ham on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Foi grande a surpresa, sem dúvida, mas recuso-me a entrar na discussão se foi, ou não, merecido. E não consigo evitar um sorriso, enquanto ouço a velha voz roufenha, companheira de sempre.
Um beijinho, Mary :)
Primeiro fiquei surpreendida e depois pensei, porque não ? :)
Este tema mudou a carreira de Bob Dylan e o mundo da música americana.
Um beijinho e boa semana minha amiga!
