Perhaps love....

É decididamente das músicas que mais gosto de ouvir! Perhaps love, do norte-americano John Denver. “Amor é...”, ou “talvez o amor seja....”, pode ser traduzido de várias formas. John Denver é dos meus cantores favoritos de música folk e country. Há uma versão cantado em dueto com o cantor de óperas Placido Domingo, que não cabe bem neste contexto musical, mas não deixa de ser absolutamente divina!

O original é de 1982, e foi lançado no álbum “Seasons of the Heart”. O dueto com o espanhol Placido Domingo, não tenho a certeza mas penso que apareceu antes.

Lyrics: Perhaps Love – John Denver

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm

It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm

And in those times of trouble when you are most alone

The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door

It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more

And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do

The memory of love will see you through

Love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel

For some a way of living, for some a way to feel

And some say love is holding on and some say letting go

And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain

Like a fire when it's cold outside, or thunder when it rains

If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

Some say love is holding on and some say letting go

Some say love is everything and some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the mountains, full of conflict, full of change

Like a fire when it's cold outside, or thunder when it rains

If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you....

Nota: A letra do dueto é ligeiramente diferente.
