Wish You Were Here
You're living your life
In somebody else's heart
My love is as strong
As oceans are far apart
A summer song
Keeps playing in my brain,
And I feel you
And I see your face again
There's no escape,
I lost everything
In losing you
Ah I wish you were here,
Drying these tears I cry
They were good times
And I wish you were here
And calling my name,
But you're dealing with a man insane
The cost how hopelessly I'm lost,
I tried to throw our love away
And I can't let go
And so I awake
In somebody else's dream (it's not what it seems)
It's only a lie,
I've yet to decide who's real
The blood red rose will never never die,
It'll burn like a flame
In the dark of the night
I'm not afraid,
I'd give everything
If you hear me there
Ah I wish you were here,
Drying these tears I cry
They were good times,
It's that time of year
For being alone
'Cause you're dealing with a heart of stone,
Try to kiss and say goodbye,
Try to throw our love away
And that storm will blow
Oh wish you were here
Oh wish you were here
'Cause you're dealing with a heart of stone,
Try to kiss and say goodbye,
Try to throw our love away
And I can't let go
They were good times
And I wish you were here,
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here,
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here,
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here,
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here,
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here,
Yes, I wish you were here
Saudade e Amor Perdido na Balada dos Bee Gees
A música Wish You Were Here dos Bee Gees é uma balada emocional que fala sobre a saudade e a dor de perder alguém amado. A letra expressa o desejo profundo de ter a pessoa amada de volta, refletindo sobre os bons momentos compartilhados e a dificuldade de seguir em frente após a separação. A canção é marcada por uma melancolia que ressoa na alma de quem já sentiu a perda de um grande amor.
A narrativa lírica da música descreve a sensação de viver a vida através do coração de outra pessoa, sugerindo uma conexão tão profunda que mesmo a distância física não pode quebrar. A metáfora da 'rosa vermelha sangue' que nunca morre simboliza o amor eterno que persiste apesar da separação. A repetição do refrão 'Ah, I wish you were here' (Ah, eu queria que você estivesse aqui) é um lamento que ecoa o vazio deixado pela ausência da pessoa amada.
Os Bee Gees, conhecidos por suas harmonias vocais e baladas românticas, conseguem transmitir em Wish You Were Here uma universalidade nos sentimentos de amor e perda. A música toca em um tema atemporal, que pode ser sentido por qualquer pessoa que já experimentou a dor de ter que dizer adeus a alguém especial. A canção se torna um hino para aqueles que guardam a esperança de reencontrar um amor perdido e a dificuldade de aceitar que algumas despedidas são definitivas.
