"Father and Son"

Hoje como é dia do pai, resolvi dedicar o meu post diário, quer ao meu próprio pai, quer aquele que para além de ser o meu companheiro de vida é também o pai cá de casa.

Resolvi fazê-lo recordando uma música que me foi dada a conhecer pela minha professora de Inglês no 9º ano e se estudava o "Generation Gap" (Conflito de gerações). É engraçado como ainda é actual... este conflito sempre existiu e sempre existirá...

Father and Son
Cat Stevens

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-- 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?)

Para os pais (cá de casa) e da comunidade bloguista em geral, um bom dia do pai, se possível passado na companhia dos seus filhos.
