Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lamego, 1955
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to.
And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
If you want a partner take my hand, or if you want to strike me down in anger, here I stand.
I'm your man.
If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you.
And if you want a doctor, I'll examine every inch of you.
If you want a driver climb inside, or if you want to take me for a ride, you know you can.
I'm your man.
The moon's too bright, the chain's too tight, the beast won't go to sleep.
Well I've been running through these promises to you that I made and I could not keep.
Ah, but a man never got a woman back, not by begging on his knees.
Or I'd crawl to you, baby, and I'd fall at your feet,
And I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in heat.
And I'd claw at your heart and I'd tear at your sheet, I'd say please
I'm your man.
And if you've got to sleep for a moment on the road, I will steer for you.
And if you want to walk the street alone, I'll disappear for you.
If you want a father for your child, or only want to walk with me a while across the sand
I'm your man.
Leonard Cohen
Por alguma razão, a frase "I'm your man" vejo-a sempre na boca de um homem português desta idade e desta geração (com sotaque da beira, naturalmente). E por que outra razão não seria ele capaz de dizer tudo o resto?
