one foi sempre uma das minhas músicas preferidas dos u2 (sendo with or without you my number one). num comentário ao meu primeiro post por detrás das letraserreguê mostrou-me uma perspetiva que desconhecia desta letra:
"bono diz no livro u2 by u2 que não compreende que [one] seja um dos temas mais utilizados em casamentos. para ele, que a escreveu, é sobre a luta que devemos ter para nos relacionarmos uns com os outros; ele estava a falar sobre o que os 4 membros dos u2 estavam a passar na altura [em que a letra foi escrita], [tendo] chegado a equacionar o fim da banda."
fica a letra para uma nova leitura baixo esta perspetiva :)
Is it getting better Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame?
You say One love,one life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share It leaves you, darling If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without
Well, it's too late Tonight To drag your past out Into the light
We're one But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One
Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing now It's all I got
We're one But we're not the same Well We hurt each other Then we do it again
You say Love is a temple Love is a higher law Love is a temple Love is a higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt
One love One blood One life you got To do what you should One life With each other Sisters, brothers
