O Poder de um Beijo

A fotografia acima é a mais conhecida de Alfred Eisenstaedt, fotojornalista nascido na antiga Prússia e naturalizado norte-americano. É de uma impressionante beleza como tantas pessoas nascidas e que cresceram fora dos Estados Unidos construiram os fundamentos culturais dessa sociedade na primeira metade do Século XX! Na foto, um marinheiro retornando da vitória sobre o Japão na Segunda Guerra Mundial beija uma enfermeira na avenida Times Square, Nova Iorque.

Agora, veja e ouça o lindo clipe no link abaixo. Tudo bem, pode soar brega e infantil, mas para mim é, acima de tudo, muito romântico!

Ah, e se quiser conhecer a letra da música que toca no clipe, Kiss On My List, transcrevi. É dos Anos 80, um período lúdico, principalmente para mim, pois foi quando vivi minha infância.

KISS ON MY LIST

Daryl Hall e John Oates


My friends wonder why I call you all of the time

What can I say

I don't feel the need to give such secrets away

You think maybe I need help, no, I know that I'm right

I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice

When they insist on knowing my bliss

I tell them this

When they want to know what the reason is

I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why

CHORUS:

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list

Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list

(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist

Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light

I go crazy wondering what there is to really see

Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to me

Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want

Regret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on

And if you insist on knowing my bliss

I'll tell you this

If you want to know what the reason is

I'll only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you this

CHORUS:

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list

Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list

(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist

Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light
