Injustiças

O Nuno, do Tradução Simultânea, encontra no You Tube a melhor música de todos os blogs, e eu nunca encontro nada do que procuro. Nem em áudio consegui "I Cover the Waterfront", tocado por John Lee Hooker, que é o slow dos slows, o melhor slow de todos os tempos - e a quinta faixa de um CD, de qualquer forma, todo ele imprescindível.

I cover the waterfront, watchin' the ship go by
I could see, everybody's baby, but I couldn't see mine
I could see, the ships pullin' in, to the harbor
I could see the people, meetin' their loved one
Shakin' hand, I sat there,
so all alone, coverin' the waterfront
And after a while, all the people,
left the harbor, and headed for their destination
All the ships, left the harbor,
and headed for their next destination
I sat there, coverin' the waterfront
And after a while, I looked down the ocean,
as far as I could see, in the fog, I saw a ship
It headed, this way, comin' out the foam
It must be my baby, comin' down
And after a while, the ship pulled into the harbor,
rollin' slow, so cripple
And my baby, stepped off board
I was still, coverin' the waterfront
Said "Johnny, our ship had trouble, with the fog
And that's why we're so late, so late
Comin' home, comin' down'

PS - Hoje, a minha dívida para com o Tradução aumentou para níveis estratosféricos por causa da Nelly McKay, de quem não sonhava sequer a existência, e sem quem não sonho, doravante, a existência.
