Meditações - Abril, Maio, Junho e Julho...

That's life
(That's life)
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said that's life
(That's life)
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stomping on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
(That's life)
I tell you, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
(That's life)
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shaking come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die, my, my

That's Life, de Dean Kay e Kelly L. Gordon, gravada por Frank Sinatra em 1966

  1. Todos sabemos que é assim
    que a nossa vida decorre
    até que um dia se morre
    e tudo acaba por fim!

  2. Segue para soneto:

    Na mó de baixo por vezes
    ou na de cima ficamos:
    o que importa é que saibamos
    frente fazer aos revezes.

    Equilibristas sem rede,
    perpassa a nossa existência
    entre a espada e a parede.

    A vida cumpre aceitá-la
    sem pensar na contingência
    de quanto possa afectá-la!
