"Parents and Children"

"Perfect" - and HA! Muspisode by SenkoMoon

I found this wonderful piece yesterday...

It´s because of such works one gets inspired to draw new things, too; though I liek the cahracter so much, I never thought that she also could feel that way...

Curiously,
it reminded me of another song on the same subject( and also with a similar structure, build on quotes ), by Renato Russo - named as "Pais e filhos" - from a 1990 album.
I did a translation from Portuguese to it:


"Parents and Children"


...

"Statues and locked trunks. Paintings on the wall.
Nobody knows what happened.
She threw herself from a fifth floor´s window.
Nothing is easy to understand.

Sleep, now.
It is only the wind outside.
Wanna lap. I´ll run from home.
Can I sleep here with you?
I´m afraid to have a nightmare
I´ll return only after three.

My son will have the name of a saint.
I want the most beautiful name.

We must love people as if
There wasn´t a tomorrow.
Because if you stop and think,
Indeed there isn´t any...

Say me why the sky is so blue?
Explain me the great Fury of this World.
My children are who are taking care of me.

I live with my mother
But my father come visit me.
I live in the street, I do not have anyone
I live anywhere.
I lived at so many houses, that neither any I remember most.
I live with my parents.

We must love people as if
There wasn´t a tomorrow.
Because if you stop and think,
Indeed there isn´t any...

I am a drop of water
I am a grain of sand.
You tell me that your parents do not understand you,
But you do not understand your parents.

You blame your parents for everything.
That is absurd.
They are children like you
What will you be when you grow up?

( bis )

We must love people as if
There wasn´t a tomorrow.
Because if you stop and think,
Indeed there isn´t any... "


...

It can sound gloomy, I know.
But it isn´t merely it - if anyone cares to read that with care, would see that it is a call for understanding, and, even the "no tomorrow" actually refers to not leave for an indefinite "future" what should be done now.
