Esta música é de 1970, ano em que fui a Londres pela primeira vez, com a turma da Engenharia (Civil) da UFPR. Meu filho Rodolfo, arquiteto, está indo hoje para Londres. Embora esta música provavelmente tenha mais a ver comigo do que com ele (na época, fazia sentido para mim; e ainda gosto dela...), é nele que estou pensando agora.
Felicidade, muita felicidade, meu/Nosso Filho (e - claro - também sem esquecer a Filha. E a Mãe: também presentes)!
Deus te abençoe Filho!
Anyway... Happiness and/or (lembrando Paulo Leminski) Perhapiness 🙏
Anyway... Happiness and/or (lembrando Paulo Leminski) Perhapiness 🙏
Nossos sonhos continuam aqui!...

Cat Stevens
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
How can I try to explain?
'Cause when I do, he turns away again
And 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
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
All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And 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
