Lou Reed, já não está entre nós.

Partiu ontem de manhã. Nem parece verdade. Custa a acreditar.

Esteve sempre 'ali', desde a minha infância que o 'conheço'.
 

Mas de certa forma Lou Reed é imortal.

Teremos sempre e para sempre a sua música.

Lou Reed, is no longer among us.

Left yesterday morning. Neither seems true. Hard to believe.

He was always 'there', since my childhood that I 'know him'.

But somehow Lou Reed is immortal.

We'll always and forever have his music.

But I'm still looking for your beautiful deep brown eyes...

Yeah... I still do.

"Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But lately you just make me mad.
Lately you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes,
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

I thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak.
I thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep,
I've had but couldn't keep.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes,
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,
I'd put you in the mirror I place in front of me
I'd place in front of me.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes,
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup.
She said money is like us in time,
It lies but can't stand up.
Down for you is up.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes,
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

It was fun what we did yesterday
and I'd do it once again.
The fact that you are married
It only proves that you're my best friend.
But it's truly, truly a sin.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes"
