With or Without You foi a primeira música do U2 que ouvi. Fazia parte da trilha sonora da novela Mandala, em 1988, eu tinha 14 anos. Tocava direto no rádio e o videoclipe bombava na TV. Como toda adolescente do período, amava videoclipes. Também adorava a novela. Minha mãe me dava os discos das trilhas internacionais das novelas, ouvia quase até furar… Na ausência do vinil, mais de vinte anos depois, resgato a música em São Youtube das Memórias Preservadas e das Saudades Impossíveis. Quem inventou o Youtube terá para sempre minha devoção, amém. Divirtam-se!
A letra, para quem quiser fazer dueto com Bono:
With Or Without You- U2
Composição: Adam Clayton / Bono Vox / Larry Mullen Jr. / The Edge
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
Yeah, we’ll shine like
stars in the summer night
We’ll shine like
stars in the winter light
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
