When I am 64

Adoro essa música dos Beatles. Se formos "atualizar" o sentido da letra, acredito que devamos acrescentar dez ou vinte anos aos 64. Felizmente a melhoria da qualidade de vida faz nossos idosos parecerem menos idosos hoje em dia. Clique aqui para ouvir. 


When I am 64
The Beatles


When I get older, losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me
a Valentine Birthday greetings, bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four

You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater
by the fireside
Sunday morning go for a ride

Doing the garden,
digging the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four

Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck and Dave

Send me a postcard drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely
what you mean to say
Yours sincerely wasting away

Give me an answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four
