quando a vida anda pior

eu lembro-me disto

Life is Fine
by Langston Hughes

I went down to the river, 
I set down on the bank. 
I tried to think but couldn't, 
So I jumped in and sank.  

I came up once and hollered! 
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold 
I might've sunk and died.      

But it was      Cold in that water!      It was cold!  

I took the elevator 
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby 
And thought I would jump down. 

I stood there and I hollered!
 I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.       

But it was      High up there!      It was high!  

So since I'm still here livin', 
I guess I will live on. 
I could've died for love
But for livin' I was born  

Though you may hear me holler, 
And you may see me cry
I'll be dogged, sweet baby, 
If you gonna see me die.      

Life is fine!      Fine as wine!      Life is fine!
