What If
Guy Rupert Berryman, William Champion, Christopher Anthony John Martin, Jonathan Mark Buckland
What if there was no lie?
Nothing wrong, nothing right
What if there was no time?
And no reason, or rhyme
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life
What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in you life
Ooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try?
Ooh, that's right
Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side
Ooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh, that's right
How can you know when you don't even try?
Ooh, that's right
Oh
Ooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh, that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Ooh, that's right
A Reflexão Sobre Escolhas e Consequências em What If de Coldplay
A música What If, da banda britânica Coldplay, é uma balada introspectiva que explora a incerteza e as dúvidas que permeiam a mente humana, especialmente em relação às relações interpessoais e às escolhas de vida. A letra da canção propõe uma série de questionamentos hipotéticos que começam com a expressão 'E se' ('What if'), sugerindo uma reflexão sobre as consequências de nossas ações e decisões, bem como a aceitação da possibilidade de erro e fracasso.
A canção começa com uma série de perguntas filosóficas sobre a existência e a percepção do tempo, sugerindo um cenário onde não há luz, certo ou errado, tempo ou razão. Essa abordagem abstrata estabelece um tom de incerteza e contemplação que permeia toda a música. À medida que a letra avança, o foco se desloca para o âmbito pessoal e emocional, com o eu lírico expressando a preocupação de ser rejeitado por alguém importante, questionando o valor de suas próprias ações e a possibilidade de não pertencer à vida dessa pessoa.
Musicalmente, What If é característica do estilo da Coldplay, com uma melodia suave e emotiva que acompanha a vulnerabilidade e a sinceridade da letra. A repetição do refrão 'Oh that's right, let's take a breath jump over the side' pode ser interpretada como um convite para enfrentar os medos e arriscar, apesar das incertezas. A música encerra com uma mensagem de esperança, sugerindo que, mesmo na escuridão, há sempre a possibilidade de luz, ou seja, mesmo nos momentos mais difíceis, há espaço para otimismo e mudança positiva.
What if there was no lie?
E se não houvesse mentira?
Nothing wrong, nothing right
Nada errado, nada certo
What if there was no time?
E se não houvesse tempo?
And no reason, or rhyme
E nenhuma razão, ou rima
What if you should decide
E se você decidisse
That you don't want me there by your side
Que não me quer ao seu lado
That you don't want me there in your life
Que não me quer em sua vida
What if I got it wrong
E se eu estivesse errado
And no poem or song
E nenhum poema ou canção
Could put right what I got wrong
Pudesse corrigir o que eu fiz de errado
Or make you feel I belong
Ou fazer você sentir que eu pertenço
What if you should decide
E se você decidisse
That you don't want me there by your side
Que não me quer ao seu lado
That you don't want me there in you life
Que não me quer em sua vida
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, isso mesmo
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Vamos respirar, pular para o outro lado
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, isso mesmo
How can you know it if you don't even try?
Como você pode saber se nem mesmo tenta?
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, isso mesmo
Every step that you take
Cada passo que você dá
Could be your biggest mistake
Pode ser seu maior erro
It could bend or it could break
Pode dobrar ou pode quebrar
But that's the risk that you take
Mas esse é o risco que você corre
What if you should decide
E se você decidisse
That you don't want me there in your life
Que não me quer em sua vida
That you don't want me there by your side
Que não me quer ao seu lado
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, isso mesmo
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Vamos respirar, pular para o outro lado
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, isso mesmo
How can you know when you don't even try?
Como você pode saber quando nem mesmo tenta?
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, isso mesmo
Oh
Oh
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, isso mesmo
Let's take a breath, jump over the side

What if you should decide
Y si decidieras
That you don't want me there by your side
Que no me quieres allí a tu lado
That you don't want me there in your life
Que no me quieres en tu vida
What if I got it wrong
¿Y si me equivoqué
And no poem or song
Y ningún poema o canción
Could put right what I got wrong
Pudiera arreglar lo que hice mal
Or make you feel I belong
O hacerte sentir que pertenezco?
What if you should decide
¿Y si decidieras
That you don't want me there by your side
Que no me quieres allí a tu lado
That you don't want me there in you life
Que no me quieres en tu vida?
Ooh, that's right
Oh, eso es correcto
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Tomemos aire, saltemos al vacío
Ooh, that's right
Oh, eso es correcto
How can you know it if you don't even try?
¿Cómo lo sabes si ni siquiera lo intentas?
Ooh, that's right
Oh, eso es correcto
Every step that you take
Cada paso que das
Could be your biggest mistake
Podría ser tu peor error
It could bend or it could break
Podría doblarse o romperse
But that's the risk that you take
Pero ese es el riesgo que tomas
What if you should decide
¿Y si decidieras
That you don't want me there in your life
Que no me quieres en tu vida
That you don't want me there by your side
Que no me quieres allí a tu lado?
Ooh, that's right
Oh, eso es correcto

Et si je me trompais
And no poem or song

Could put right what I got wrong
Ne pouvait corriger ce que j'ai mal fait
Or make you feel I belong
Ou te faire sentir que j'appartiens
What if you should decide
Et si tu devais décider
That you don't want me there by your side
Que tu ne veux pas de moi à tes côtés

Comment peux-tu le savoir si tu n'essaies même pas?
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, c'est vrai
Every step that you take
Chaque pas que tu fais
Could be your biggest mistake
Pourrait être ta plus grande erreur
It could bend or it could break
Il pourrait plier ou il pourrait casser
But that's the risk that you take
Mais c'est le risque que tu prends
What if you should decide
Et si tu devais décider
That you don't want me there in your life
Que tu ne veux pas de moi dans ta vie
That you don't want me there by your side
