On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go
In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on
In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone
And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on
In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone
A Melancolia e Reflexão em Like a Stone do Audioslave
A música Like a Stone, da banda Audioslave, é uma poderosa balada de rock que mergulha em temas profundos como a solidão, a mortalidade e a busca por redenção. A letra, escrita pelo vocalista Chris Cornell, evoca uma sensação de introspecção e contemplação sobre a vida e o além.
No início da canção, o narrador descreve-se perdido nas páginas de um livro que fala sobre a morte, sugerindo uma reflexão sobre o fim da vida e a inevitabilidade da morte. A expressão 'cobweb afternoon' (tarde de teias de aranha) e 'room full of emptiness' (quarto cheio de vazio) pintam um quadro de isolamento e abandono, reforçando a atmosfera melancólica da música. A menção à leitura de que 'morreremos sozinhos' e que, se formos bons, 'descansaremos em qualquer lugar que quisermos ir', pode ser interpretada como uma reflexão sobre o julgamento moral após a morte e a esperança de encontrar paz.
A repetição do refrão 'In your house / I long to be / Room by room / Patiently / I'll wait for you there / Like a stone / I'll wait for you there / Alone' sugere uma espera eterna, talvez pela presença de um ente querido ou por uma conexão espiritual. A imagem de esperar 'como uma pedra' transmite uma sensação de imobilidade e permanência, como se o narrador estivesse disposto a esperar indefinidamente. A canção também aborda a ideia de arrependimento e reflexão sobre as ações passadas, um tema comum na busca humana por significado e propósito. A referência a 'deuses e anjos' e a 'qualquer um que me leve ao céu' mostra um desejo de transcendência e aceitação, independentemente das crenças religiosas ou espirituais.
Em suma, Like a Stone é uma expressão lírica da jornada humana em busca de compreensão, aceitação e paz interior, embalada pela performance emocional de Chris Cornell e pela sonoridade marcante do Audioslave.
On a cobweb afternoon
Numa dessas tarde de teia de aranha
In a room full of emptiness
Num quarto repleto do vazio
By a freeway I confess
Perto de uma rodovia eu confesso
I was lost in the pages
Estava perdido nas páginas
Of a book full of death
De um livro repleto de morte
Reading how we'll die alone
Lendo como nós vamos morrer sós
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
E se formos bons, descansaremos em paz
Anywhere we want to go
Onde quer que queiramos ir
In your house, I long to be
Na sua casa, eu desejo estar
Room by room, patiently
De um quarto ao outro, com paciência
I'll wait for you there
Eu vou esperar por você ali
Like a stone
Vou esperar como uma pedra
I'll wait for you there
Eu vou esperar por você ali
Alone
Sozinho
And on my deathbed I will pray
E no meu leito de morte vou rezar
To the gods and the angels
Aos deuses e aos anjos
Like a pagan to anyone
A qualquer um, como um pagão faz
Who will take me to heaven
Quem me levará ao Paraíso
To a place I recall
Ao lugar do qual me recordo
I was there so long ago
Estive lá há muito tempo atrás
The sky was bruised
Onde o céu era ferido
The wine was bled
Onde o vinho sangrava
And there you led me on
E foi lá que você me enganou
In your house, I long to be
Na sua casa, eu desejo estar
Room by room, patiently
De um quarto ao outro, com paciência
I'll wait for you there
Eu vou esperar por você ali
Like a stone
Vou esperar como uma pedra
I'll wait for you there
Eu vou esperar por você ali
Alone
Sozinho
Alone
Sozinho
And on I read
E continuei a ler nele
Until the day was gone
Até que o dia chegou ao fim
And I sat in regret
E me sentei repleto de arrependimento
Of all the things I've done
Por todas as coisas que eu fiz
For all that I've blessed
Por tudo o que eu bendisse
And all that I've wronged
E todo erro que cometi
In dreams until my death
Em sonhos até minha morte
I will wander on
Eu vou peregrinar
In your house, I long to be
Na sua casa, eu desejo estar
Room by room, patiently
De um quarto ao outro, com paciência
I'll wait for you there
Eu vou esperar por você ali
Like a stone
Vou esperar como uma pedra
I'll wait for you there
Eu vou esperar por você ali
Alone
Sozinho
Alone
Sozinho
On a cobweb afternoon
Durante una tarde cual telaraña
In a room full of emptiness
En un cuarto lleno de vacío
By a freeway I confess
Por una carretera confieso
I was lost in the pages
Estaba perdido en las páginas
Of a book full of death
De un libro lleno de muerte
Reading how we'll die alone
Leyendo cómo moriremos solos
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
Y que si somos buenos, nos acostaremos a descansar

To the gods and the angels
A los dioses y a los ángeles
Like a pagan to anyone
Cual pagano a quien sea
Who will take me to heaven
Que me lleve al cielo
To a place I recall
A un lugar que recuerdo
I was there so long ago
Estuve allí hace mucho tiempo
The sky was bruised
El cielo estaba herido
The wine was bled
El vino ensangrentado
And there you led me on
Y ahí tú me llevaste
In your house, I long to be
En tu casa, deseo estar
Room by room, patiently
Cuarto por cuarto, pacientemente
I'll wait for you there
Te esperaré allí
Like a stone
Como una piedra
I'll wait for you there

Alone
Solo
Alone
Solo
And on I read
Y leo
Until the day was gone
Hasta que el día se marchó
And I sat in regret
Y me senté en el arrepentimiento
Of all the things I've done
De todas las cosas que he hecho
For all that I've blessed
De todo lo que he bendecido
And all that I've wronged
Y todo lo que he errado
In dreams until my death
En sueños hasta mi muerte
I will wander on
Seguié vagando
In your house, I long to be
En tu casa, deseo estar
Room by room, patiently
Cuarto por cuarto, pacientemente
I'll wait for you there
Te esperaré allí
Like a stone
Como una piedra
I'll wait for you there

To a place I recall
Dans un endroit, je me souviens
I was there so long ago
J'y étais il y a longtemps
The sky was bruised
Le ciel était meurtri
The wine was bled
Le vin était saigné
And there you led me on
Et là, tu m'as conduit
In your house, I long to be
Dans ta maison, j'ai envie d'être

Of all the things I've done
De toutes les choses que j'ai fait
For all that I've blessed
Pour tout ce que j'ai béni
And all that I've wronged
Et tout ce que j'ai fait faux
In dreams until my death

In a room full of emptiness
In einem Raum voller Leere
By a freeway I confess
An einer Schnellstraße gestehe ich
I was lost in the pages
Ich war verloren in den Seiten
Of a book full of death
eines Buches voller Tod
Reading how we'll die alone
Ich las, dass wir allein sterben werden
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
Und wenn wir brav sind, ruhen wir
Anywhere we want to go
Wo auch immer wir hinwollen
In your house, I long to be
In deinem Haus würde ich gerne sein
Room by room, patiently
Raum für Raum, geduldig
I'll wait for you there
Ich werde dort auf dich warten

Who will take me to heaven
Der mich in den Himmel bringen wird
To a place I recall
An einen Ort, an den ich mich erinnere
I was there so long ago
Ich war dort vor so langer Zeit
The sky was bruised
Der Himmel war zerschrammt
The wine was bled
Der Wein wurde geleert
And there you led me on
Und du hast mich dorthin geführt
In your house, I long to be
Ich sehne mich danach, in deinem Haus zu sein
Room by room, patiently
Raum für Raum, geduldig

Bis der Tag vorbei war
And I sat in regret
Und ich saß in Reue
Of all the things I've done
Über all die Dinge, die ich getan habe
For all that I've blessed
Für alles, was ich gesegnet habe
And all that I've wronged
Und all das Unrecht, das ich begangen habe
In dreams until my death
In Träumen bis zu meinem Tod
I will wander on

On a cobweb afternoon
In un pomeriggio di ragnatele
In a room full of emptiness
In una stanza piena di vuoto
By a freeway I confess
In un autostrada lo confesso
I was lost in the pages
Ero perso nelle pagine
Of a book full of death
Di un libro pieno di morte
Reading how we'll die alone
Leggendo come moriremo da soli
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
E se siamo bravi, ci stenderemo per riposarci
Anywhere we want to go
Ovunque vogliamo andare
In your house, I long to be
A casa tua, desidero essere
Room by room, patiently
Stanza per stanza, con pazienza
I'll wait for you there
Ti aspetterò lì

To the gods and the angels
Agli dei e agli angeli
Like a pagan to anyone
Come un pagano a chiunque
Who will take me to heaven
Mi porterà in paradiso
To a place I recall
In un posto che ricordo
I was there so long ago
Ci sono stato tanto tempo fa
The sky was bruised
Il cielo era ammaccato
The wine was bled
Il vino è stato dissanguato
And there you led me on
E lì mi hai guidato
In your house, I long to be
A casa tua, desidero essere
Room by room, patiently
Stanza per stanza, con pazienza

Until the day was gone
Fino alla fine del giorno
And I sat in regret
E mi sono seduto con rammarico
Of all the things I've done
Di tutte le cose che ho fatto
For all that I've blessed
Per tutto ciò che ho benedetto
And all that I've wronged
E tutto ciò che ho offeso
In dreams until my death
Nei sogni fino alla mia morte
I will wander on
Vagherò
In your house, I long to be
A casa tua, desidero essere

I was lost in the pages
Aku tersesat dalam halaman
Of a book full of death
Dari sebuah buku penuh kematian
Reading how we'll die alone
Membaca bagaimana kita akan mati sendirian
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
Dan jika kita baik, kita akan beristirahat
Anywhere we want to go
Dimanapun kita ingin pergi

Di rumahmu, aku sangat ingin berada
Room by room, patiently
Ruangan demi ruangan, dengan sabar
I'll wait for you there
Aku akan menunggumu di sana
Like a stone
Seperti sebuah batu

Seperti seorang pagan kepada siapa saja
Who will take me to heaven
Yang akan membawaku ke surga
To a place I recall
Ke tempat yang aku ingat
I was there so long ago
Aku pernah di sana begitu lama yang lalu

Langitnya memar
The wine was bled
Anggurnya mengalir
And there you led me on
Dan di sana kau membimbingku
In your house, I long to be
Di rumahmu, aku sangat ingin berada
Room by room, patiently
Ruangan demi ruangan, dengan sabar
I'll wait for you there

Of all the things I've done
Atas semua hal yang telah aku lakukan
For all that I've blessed
Untuk semua yang telah aku beri berkat
And all that I've wronged
Dan semua yang telah aku salah
In dreams until my death
Dalam mimpi sampai kematianku
I will wander on
Aku akan terus mengembara
