We deserve it!!!
Yeah! What a week we are having here in Brazil...
Rolling Stones in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, for free, playing for more than 1,3 million people in Copacabana.
" The show was billed here as the largest pop music concert ever. "
( NY Times) (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/19/international/americas/
19stones.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) And today and tomorrow, U2 in Sao Paulo, playing for more than 70,000 people each day!!!
"Bono will donate one of his guitars to benefit Brazil's Zero Hunger campaign, the government's official news agency said Monday." (NY Times) And the "guy" with Bono in that picture is Luiz Inácio LULA da Silva, Brazilian President ;-)
It's amazing how a lyrinc song can mean so much and most of the time we take it for grant not paying enough attention on it! Today during U2 concert (on TV :-( ) I was paying attention on it and it's just AMAZING!!! I felt like putting all their lyrics here...hehe...but just 2 is enough for today ;-) Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you Now, you got someone to blame You say One love One life When it's one need In the night It's one love We get to share it It leaves you baby If you don't care for it Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's too late Tonight To drag the past out Into the light We're one But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same We hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One One
(tradução)
Está melhorando
Ou você ainda sente a mesma coisa?
As coisas vão ficar mais fáceis para você
agora que você tem alguém para culpar?
Você diz
Um amor
Uma vida Quando é alguém que à noite precisa
De um amor Temos que compartilha-lho Ele te abandona, baby Se você não cuida dele Eu te decepcionei? Ou deixei um gosto ruim em sua boca? Você age como quem nunca teve um amor E quer que eu continue sem nenhum Bem, é muito tarde Esta noite Para trazer o passado à tona Somos um Mas não somos os mesmos Temos que carregar um ao outro Carregar um ao outro Um...
Você veio aqui pelo perdão? Você veio levantar os mortos? Você veio aqui bancar o Jesus para os leprosos que você inventa? Eu te pedi muito? Mais do que devia? Você não me deu nada Agora é tudo que eu tenho Somos um Mas não somos os mesmos Ferimos um ao outro E estamos fazendo de novo Você diz O amor é um templo O amor é a lei suprema O amor é um templo O amor é a lei suprema Você me pede para entrar E então você me faz rastejar
E eu não posso continuar me agarrando ao que você tem
Quando tudo que você tem são feridas
Um amor Um sangue Uma vida Você tem que fazer o deve Uma vida Entre si Irmãs Irmãos Uma vida Mas não somos os mesmos Temos que carregar um ao outro Carregar um ao outro
(P.s: Eu peguei a tradução em um site e nem conferi, estou cansada de mais pra isso...e também é mais fácil..rsrs..dont blame me for possible mistakes!!! :-P )
