Sempre es torna: Home

Escoltar esta cançò al costat d'un dels ponts que creuen el riu negre i ronyós de Dublin –d'ahi lí ve precisament el nom a la ciutat, moment Libro Gordo de Petete– va ser un valor afegit al suspir en el que es va convertir el meu viatge. Perquè esta cançó és com un petit secret que sols coneixem uns quants. O m'ho sembla a mi. Reconèixer-la i sentir-la uns segons, en un cotxe que passava per un carrer a més de dos mil kilòmetres de ma casa, em va fer sentir part d'este món. I creure que encara hi ha gent que conserva una certa sensibilitat en el ú per cert que diu el Moreno que ens diferencia a unes persones d'altres.

Ara, a l'escoltar-la de nou seguda en la meua cadira rosa, amb l'escampada habitual de papers i llibretes en la taula de l'ordinador i amb el pestell de la porta passat, he pensat on estarà, en realitat, ma casa. Però això és altra història.

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be allright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
