It´s no easy being white (Letra)

Conforme prometido, minha cunhada predileta na me deixou na mão e aqui vai a letra da música de Joe Williams. E como traduzir letra de música é fogo, a letra vai em inglês mesmo. Divirtam-se.

It’s not easy being white

Well somehow nothing seems to be the same

Sometimes I don’t seem to be as cool as I was

Maybe it’s the nature of the bizz

Well I think I know the trouble

And I’ll tell you what it is

It’s not easy being white

It’s struggle just to get your rhythm right

And in the days when getting down’s the thing to do

You can sing right till you’re blue in the face

And wake up in the morning

Just to find you’ve been replaced

It’s not easy being white

Feels so wrong it can’t be right

I don’t want you thinking I’d complain

‘cause Lord knows nothing’s ever gonna stay the same

I can take the good things with the bad

But I have narrowed down the problem

And I think it’s kind of sad

It’s not easy being white

You don’t sound good saying words like dynamite

Can you try to be so hip the way you dress

First you try to be so hip and funky

Then you’re over whined up with a hunky and funky mess

It’s not easy being white

Feels so wrong it can’t be right

Well talking all this weirdness makes me grin

There’s just so many categories that I don’t fit in

One day all my tune’s tone they will stroll

Why was he too tall for a midget

And too short for basketball

It’s not easy being white

They can pick you all too easy in the night

You can waste your summers lying in the sun

Still you don’t look like each other

And you’re only called a brother by your mother’s other son

It’s not easy being white

Feels so wrong it can’t be right

Sacou, bro?
