Space Oddity

David Bowie fez várias músicas que, como esta, têm seu tema na guerra fria, focando sempre a corrida espacial. Cantando–a, a narrativa fica bem mais interessante, até. É uma de minhas favoritas. A tradução está aqui.

Ground Control to Major Tom:
take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
Ground Control to Major Tom:
(10, 9, 8, 7, 6)
commencing countdown. Engine's on.
(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you.
(liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom:
you've really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear.
Now it's time to leave the capsule, if you dare...

This is Major Tom to Ground Control:
I'm stepping through the door;
and I'm floating in the most peculiar way.
And the stars look very different, today.

For here am I sitting in a tin can.
Far above the world.
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still.
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go.
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows.

Ground Control to Major Tom:
your circuit's dead, there's something wrong!
Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Here am I floating 'round my tin can.
Far above the moon.
Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do.
 
Space Oddity – David Bowie
