And The River Is Me TRADUÇÃO - Darrell Scott (Impressão)

And The River Is Me

I guess I've always known

I was in this for life

It's cost me some sleepless days

It's cost me a wife

Maybe I've spent a little too much time

Looking in the bathroom mirror

Waiting for the steam to disappear

Thinking I was getting clearer and clearer

Maybe I could've been a cook

Or maybe taught high school math

Maybe I could've been the man on the street

With a future as uncertain as my past

But I've been singing for a living

Back and forth across America

Singing 'bout things I should talk to my shrink

And to my shrink singing

Kum-by-yah

With my head in a song and a song in my head

Just let me live until I'm dead

There's so many books I wish I'd read

Like war and peace

So many friends I've won and lost

So many masks I've worn and tossed

Into troubled waters I could not cross

And the river is me, and the river is me

River run to the ocean

River roll to the sea

They had this test back in high school

Said I had a career in forestry

Had aptitude for isolation

Yeah, I could live without TV

But me, I took the low road

Looking for another light

I don't live in a tower on some fire road

But the human view is out of sight

With my head in a song and a song in my head

Just let me live until I'm dead

There's so many words I wish I'd said

Like I'm sorry I am sorry

So many friends I've won and lost

So many masks I've worn and tossed

Into troubled waters I could not cross

And the river is me, and the river is me

River run to the ocean

River roll to the sea

E O Rio Sou Eu

Acho que sempre soube

Que estava nisso pra vida toda

Me custou alguns dias sem dormir

Me custou uma esposa

Talvez eu tenha passado tempo demais

Olhando no espelho do banheiro

Esperando o vapor desaparecer

Achando que estava ficando mais claro e claro

Talvez eu poderia ter sido um cozinheiro

Ou talvez ensinado matemática no ensino médio

Talvez eu poderia ter sido o cara da rua

Com um futuro tão incerto quanto meu passado

Mas eu tenho cantado pra viver

De um lado pro outro pelos Estados Unidos

Cantando sobre coisas que eu deveria falar com meu terapeuta

E pro meu terapeuta cantando

Kum-by-yah

Com a cabeça em uma canção e uma canção na minha cabeça

Só me deixe viver até eu morrer

Tem tantos livros que eu gostaria de ter lido

Como Guerra e Paz

Tantos amigos que ganhei e perdi

Tantas máscaras que usei e joguei fora

Em águas turbulentas que eu não consegui atravessar

E o rio sou eu, e o rio sou eu

Rio, corre pro oceano

Rio, rola pro mar

Eles tinham esse teste no ensino médio

Disseram que eu tinha uma carreira em silvicultura

Tinha aptidão pra isolamento

É, eu poderia viver sem TV

Mas eu, eu peguei o caminho mais difícil

Procurando por outra luz

Não moro em uma torre em alguma estrada de fogo

Mas a visão humana está fora de alcance
