Cinque anni fa si usciva a cena con i colleghi e si parlava di differenze culturali, di diversi paesi e via dicendo, ora si parla di figli, quanti averne, come stanno crescendo e problematiche varie.
Fra poco mi tocca andare anche allo specchio a verificare le rughe ogni giorno, almeno resta la tequila nei ristoranti messicani.
Cenato guacamole, chimichanga e nachos con caraffe di Tequila e chiuso la serata tra un lieve nevischio ed il bicchiere di una birra scura, il tasso alcoolico in aumento nel sangue e la mia lingua che diventava piu’ sciolta.
Mi rivolgevo infatti in uno spagnolo impeccabile al fidanzatino di una collega che era appena arrivato in questa realta’ tutta particolare, mi sa che prima di certi meeting dovro’ iniziare ad alzare il gomito per migliorare le mie capacita’ espressive.
Oggi ancora neve e cielo coperto tolgono ogni voglia di lavorare e/o studiare, scappero’ a casa a riposarmi prima della pizza serale, domani nuovo risveglio mattutino, peccato.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew
inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)
