I run for life--Melissa Etheridge

Pentru cei ce au citit macar ultimele articole din ciclul "Pacient in Romania" faptul ca am ales sa pun un videoclip in care Melissa Etheridge canta "I run for life" nu  e o surpriza. Am ajuns la acest videoclip datorita uneia din multele newslettere pe care le primesc, subiectul fiind "Inspirational songs for fighting breast cancer." Pe you tube exista mai multe variante ale acestui cantec, eu am preferat sa public una cu imagini, cel mai vizionat videoclip este insa unul de la o emisiune a lui Oprah in care ME canta, se pare, live.

Am gasit si versurile, o sa incerc sa le traduc, oarecum liber, adaptate limbii romane:

It's been years since they told her about it

The darkness her body possessed

And the scars are still there in the mirror

Everyday that she gets herself dressed

Though the pain is miles and miles behind her

And the fear is now a docile beast

If you ask her why she is still running

She'll tell you it makes her complete

I run for hope

I run to feel

I run for the truth

For all that is real

I run for your mother your sister your wife

I run for you and me my friend I run for life

It's a blur since they told me about it

How the darkness had taken its toll

And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body

But they will never get a piece of my soul

And now I'm still learning the lesson

To waken when I hear the call

And if you ask me why I am still running

I'll tell you I run for us all

I run for hope

I run to feel

I run for the truth

For all that is real

I run for your mother your sister your wife

I run for you and me my friend I run for life

And someday if they tell you about it

If the darkness knocks on your door

Remember her remember me

We will be running as we have before

Running for answers

Running for more

Sunt ani de cand a aflat

Despre intunericul din corpul ei

Si cicatricile inca se mai vad in oglinda

De fiecare data cand se imbraca.

Si desi durerile au ramas mult in urma

Iar frica e o bestie domesticita

Daca o intrebati de ce mai alearga

Va va spune ca asa se simte intreaga.

Alerg pt speranta

Alerg ca sa simt

Alerg pt adevar

Alerg pt tot ce exista

Alerg pt mama ta, sora ta, sotia ta,

Alerg pt tine si pt mine prietene

Alerg pt viata.

Traiesc ca prin ceata de cand mi-au spus adevarul

Ca intunericul si-a luat obolul

Si mi-au taiat pielea, si mi-au taiat corpul

Dar niciodata nu vor avea macar o bucatica din sufletul meu

Si acum inca imi invat lectia

Sa ma trezesc cand aud chemarea

Si daca ma intrebati de ce inca mai alerg

O sa va spun ca alerg pt noi toti.

Alerg pt speranta

Alerg ca sa simt

Alerg pt adevar

Alerg pt tot ce exista

Alerg pt mama ta, sora ta, sotia ta,

Alerg pt tine si pt mine prietene

Alerg pt viata.

Si daca intr-o zi iti vor spune

Ca intunericul a batut la usa ta

Aminteste-ti de ea, aminteste-ti de mine

Vom alerga, ca si inainte

Alergam pt raspunsuri

Alergam pt mai mult

Cred ca patosul cu care ME canta acest cantec mi-a umplut ochii de lacrimi.

Dedic cantecul acesta tuturor celor care s-au luptat cu acesta boala, cancerul, indiferent unde s-a cuibarit, si pt toti cei care le-au fost alaturi.
