[Queres é (a) Letra!] You Can’t Win, Charlie Brown – Marrow – Bones

Eis que chegamos ao fim de Marrow, depois de termos invadido e explorado esta medula cheia de coisas para nos contar e fazer sentir. Bones reflecte e resume toda a epopeia vivida ao longo do disco. Na minha opinião é mesmo o ponto máximo, o atingir do êxtase, no que toca ao elevar tanto a sonoridade como a capacidade sonora de Afonso Cabral. Os meus muitos parabéns por aquele que é, sem dúvida um dos melhores discos deste 2017. 

HEAR MY MOAN

FEEL THE BITE

HOLD MY BONES

AND HEAT THEM THROUGH THE NIGHT

KEEP ME WARM AND READY FOR THE FIGHT

SET IN GOLD

FULL OF LIGHT

ALL I WANT

I’LL BE SITTING TIGHT

TILL THE TIME IS RIGHT

FEEL FREE TO CUT MY HEART OUT

I’LL BE THE ONE WHO KNOWS

WHEN THE BELL RINGS ME HOME

EVEN WHEN YOU’RE GONE

FEEL YOU BY MY SIDE

[NOW THAT I’M ALONE

UNDERNEATH YOUR BONES

I JUST CAN’T RECALL

HOW THE TIME ALL FLEW]

IF YOU KNEW ME ALL ALONG

THEN YOU KNOW THE CIRCUIT I WAS ON

AND IF YOU’RE READY TO BE HURT

THEN YOU KNOW THE WORLD THAT I LIVED ON

RISING FROM THE FLOOR

IS THE ONLY WAY I KNOW TO SEE THE DAY

BUT I WON’T BE FAR

NO, I’LL FOLLOW ANYWHERE YOU CAN BE FOUND

‘CAUSE I’VE SEEN THE NIGHT

AND DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOU HOWL

SO LET ALL MY BONES

AND I’VE GIVEN UP MY PRIDE INTO YOUR ARMS

SO I WON’T BACK DOWN

NO I WON’T BE SMOOTH AND EASY LIKE A DOG

AND WHEN I GO DOWN

I’LL MAKE THEM TAKE THE GROUND

‘CAUSE YOU’D FEEL LET DOWN

NO, I’D FEEL LET DOWN

IF I’D COOL IT NEAR THE END

BUT I’M BREAKING UP

ALL THE MARROW TO THE CORE

AND I DON’T FEEL HARMED

NO I DON’T FEEL OUT

‘CAUSE I’VE GIVEN ALL MY FIRE

DON’T LET GO

FIRST SET ME FREE, NOW

LET GO OF MY HEART

LET GO OF MY HEART

LET THE BONES REVEAL MY PRIDE

NOW HEAR MY MOAN AND FEEL MY BITE

LET MY BONES BE THE ONES

HEATING YOUR HEART IN THE NIGHT
