One

Há mais de 10 anos esta era a música que os meus colegas me pediam para cantar nas aulas. Com autorização do professor, a aula terminava mais cedo e a JE fazia o que mais gostava: cantar. Ainda que a medo e cheia de vergonha, mas era giro e benéfico ter pessoas que me gostavam de ouvir e a quem aquela e outros temas poderiam encantar. Tenho saudades dessa sensação... Porque a música é muito boa, mesmo este tempo depois, os U2 fizeram uma nova versão com a Mary J. Blidge. E a «One» volta a fazer parte da minha vida. Não para cantá-la, mas para fazer de banda sonora e texto de um momento marcante, revelador, de união e cumplicidade. Aqui fica a letra.


"U2 One lyrics"
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters, Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
