RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS (1971) THE CARPENTERS

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

Certa vez, indagaram ao escritor e bioquímico russo Isaac Asimov sobre quem seria o maior cientista de todos os tempos. Ele disse ser uma pergunta fácil, porque difícil seria eleger o segundo diante de tantos candidatos. Porque o Nº 1, disparado, sem sombra de dúvida, era o seu xará Isaac Newton. Era e permanece ainda.

Pois, se me perguntassem (e ninguém perguntou) sobre quem seria a maior cantora pop de todos os tempos, a resposta seria igualmente fácil: Karen Carpenter. E ainda tocava bateria. Hoje, se estivesse entre nós, completaria seus redondos 65 anos. Gods bless Karen!

Talking to myself and feeling old

Sometimes I'd like to quit

Nothing ever seems to fit

Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

----

What I've got they used to call the blues

Nothing is really wrong

Feeling like I don't belong

Walking around some kind of lonely clown

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

----

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you

It's nice to know somebody loves me

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do

To run and find the one who loves me

----

What I feel is come and gone before

No need to talk it out

We know what it's all about

Hanging around, nothing to do but frown

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

----

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do

Run and find the one who loves me

----

Hangin around, nothing do to but frown

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
