Com atraso – a semana foi bastante corrida – temos nossa sugestão para o final de semana.
Como recentemente estive em duas ocasiões com velhos amigos – no sábado retrasado e ontem, quinta – a música de hoje é uma celebração à amizade: “Old Friends”, da dupla Simon & Garfunkel.
A letra tem exatamente este sentido: o valor e as lembranças de uma amizade.Conserve as suas, leitor – elas são valiosas.
Old Friends
Old Friends
Old Friends
Sat on their park bench like bookends
Newspaper blowin’ through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends
Old Friends
Winter companions the old men
Lost in thier overcoats
Waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust
On the shoulders of the old friends
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange to be seventy…
Old Friends
Narrowly brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fear
(Musical Interlude)
A time it was
It was a time
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They’re all that’s left you
