Not A Pretty Girl - Ani Difranco
A minha cancao favorita de todos os tempos.
"I am not a pretty girl
that is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distess
and I don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
I am not an angry girl
but it seems like I've got everyone fooled
every time I say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
and imagine you're a girl
just trying to finally come clean
knowing full well they'd prefer you
were dirty and smiling
and I am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
and I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
and generally my generation
wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
and generally I agree with them
trouble is you gotta have youself an alternate plan
and I have earned my disillusionment
I have been working all of my life
and I am a patriot
I have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if I knew that and I called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up
I am not a pretty girl
I don't want to be a pretty girl,
no I want to be more than a pretty girl."

Uuff... esta não, Ana!
Quão deprimente...
Ana,
respondi tardiamente, mas respondi lá em baixo ao que me perguntaste.
Dia feliz para ti
Atirei-me agora mesmo ao rio. Estou lá no fundo, cadáver antecipado, a sorrir de dentes de outro para todos vós.
Que queres dizer com isso, "nunca mais"?
Ja agora, "esfuziante", porque achas esta cancao deprimente?
Eu, pelo contrario, achoa-a uma afirmacao da vontade de viver e de romper com padroes sociais e isuloes subjectivas que so nos aprisonam.
Choro! Estou tão infeliz! Essa é que é a verdade... essa garra toda é tudo mentira! Oh, também quero ser salva como um gatinho...
Olha Nunca Mais,
vou-te fazer companhia. Até já.
já somos três!
Aninha,
recebi do Rio este curioso contato... já que estás lá (mais) perto dou-to também:
