25 minutes to go...

41 anos atrás Johnny Cash gravava o mítico "Live At Folsom Prison".


Folsom Prison Blues

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...

Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

dia da poesia (ao retardador...)

Da margem esquerda da vida

Da margem esquerda da vida
Parte uma ponte que vai
Só até meio, perdida
Num balo vago, que atrai.

É pouco tudo o que eu vejo,
Mas basta, por ser metade,
P'ra que eu me afogue em desejo
Aquém do mar da vontade.

Da outra margem, direita,
A ponte parte também.
Quem sabe se alguém ma espreita?
Não a atravessa ninguém.
