let it linger - deixe prolongar lnger on - continuar sem pressa

 Infelizmente, o sentido do refrão de uma canção de Lou Reed não está claro para mim. Pode me ajudar? O início da letra é: Sometimes I feel so happy / Sometimes I feel so sad / Sometimes I feel so happy / But mostly you just make me mad / Baby, you just make me mad / CHORUS Linger on, your pale-blue eyes / Linger on, your pale-blue eyes. O que significa linger on?


A resposta do Prof. Michael Jacobs

Para entender a expressão linger on, devemos primeiramente começar pelo verbo linger. To linger quer dizer “se demorar, tardar, se prolongar”. Significa “não estar com pressa”, “não estar preocupado com o tempo”, especialmente quando não se tem muito para fazer. Linger on apenas reforça a idéia de que o ato de lingering continua.


Portanto, linger on your pale-blue eyes pode significar duas coisas: que o intérprete continua a olhar para dentro dos olhos azuis da pessoa; ou que ele/ela quer continuar a ver, ou a imaginar, os claros olhos azuis da outra pessoa.


É interessante que a grande Marisa Monte use a mesma expressão numa das suas lindas canções… Pale-blue eyes! Acabo de olhar entre os meus CD para verificar o título e percebo – epa! – que a letra da música de Marisa Monte não é dela, mas de… Lou Reed! É exatamente a música de que você está falando!
