Katie Melua -"Nine Million Bicycles"
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.
We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say
There are six BILLION people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all
[INTERLUDE]
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!
Aqui em Copenhaga nao sao tantas as bicicletas, nem por sombras, talvez novecentas mil ou menos, que circulam pelas artérias fluidas da cidade que me fascina e, como diz o poeta, parece que pedala, que ped´alma com o passado a tiracolo ao ar vivaz abre as narinas: tem o provir na pedaleira numa viagem permanente, suave e plana, onde nao há lugar à poluicao.
Nota: Umas vezes com outras sem til e cedilha, depende do computador ser "Dane" ou "Magalhaes (!)".
