November Rain

Hoje aconteceu ouvir uma das baladas mais bonitas do início da década de 90. Já não a ouvia há algum tempo e gosto tanto! O som que resulta da junção inicial das teclas e dos violinos e o solo de guitarra mais para o final da canção é dos que me fazem eriçar os pelos dos braços.

Hoje percebi que Novembro é para mim um mês que marca acontecimentos tristes, daqueles que nos fazem chorar como se de chuva tratasse. Percebi que foi em Novembro que recebi por mais do que uma vez a notícia que ninguém deseja receber. Daquelas capazes de matar a esperança de quem ama.

A história repete-se. Não tinha pensado nisso antes, mas a verdade é que, apesar de diferir em muitos pormenores, voltou a acontecer em Novembro...

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only oneYou're not the only one

November Rain, Guns N' Roses, 1992
