If Today Was Your Last Day

Chad Kroeger

Letra Significado Tradução

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said, "Each day's a gift and not a given right"
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
(What if? What if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (Would you? Would you?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (Would you? Would you?)
If today was your last day
(What if? What if?)
(If today was your last day)

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live it like you're never livin' twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
(What if? What if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (Would you? Would you?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (Would you? Would you?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (Could you? Could you?)
And would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love? (Finally fall in love)
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark
By mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late
To shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind
A moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time
Are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (Would you? Would you?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (Could you? Could you?)
And would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love? (What if? What if?)
If today was your last day

Vivendo Como se Não Houvesse Amanhã: Uma Análise de If Today Was Your Last Day

A música If Today Was Your Last Day da banda canadense Nickelback é um convite à reflexão sobre a efemeridade da vida e a importância de viver cada momento intensamente. A letra, escrita pelo vocalista Chad Kroeger, propõe uma série de questionamentos sobre como as pessoas escolheriam viver se soubessem que aquele dia seria o último de suas vidas. Através de uma melodia envolvente e letras que tocam o coração, a canção se tornou um hino motivacional para muitos ouvintes.

No primeiro verso, a música começa com um conselho de um amigo, que destaca a preciosidade de cada dia, pois não é um direito garantido, mas sim um presente. Essa ideia é reforçada ao longo da canção, incentivando o ouvinte a deixar de lado os medos, buscar caminhos menos percorridos e aproveitar cada segundo, pois não há uma segunda chance na vida. A mensagem é clara: viva como se você nunca tivesse vivido duas vezes, não pegue carona na sua própria vida, mas faça escolhas que reflitam seus verdadeiros desejos e valores.

O refrão é um chamado à ação, questionando se seríamos capazes de nos despedir do passado, viver cada momento como se fosse o último, doar tudo o que temos, perdoar inimigos e finalmente se permitir amar verdadeiramente. A música sugere que, ao enfrentar a iminência do fim, talvez nos tornemos mais generosos, mais dispostos a consertar corações partidos e a alcançar nossos sonhos, independentemente de quem somos. If Today Was Your Last Day é um lembrete poderoso de que o tempo é um recurso finito e que devemos agir com a urgência de quem sabe que não pode voltar atrás, incentivando-nos a viver plenamente e sem arrependimentos.

[Deutscher Songtext zu „If Today Was Your Last Day“]

[Strophe 1]
Mein bester Freund gab mir den besten Rat
Er sagte, jeder Tag ist ein Geschenk und kein gegebenes Recht
Lass keinen Stein auf dem anderen, lass deine Ängste hinter dir
Und versuche, den Weg zu nehmen, der am wenigsten bereist wird
Der erstе Schritt, den du machst, ist der längste Schritt
(Was wärе wenn, was wäre wenn?)

[Refrain 1]
Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre
Und morgen zu spät wäre
Könntest du dem Gestern Lebewohl sagen? (Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Würdest du jeden Moment wie deinen letzten leben?
Alte Bilder in der Vergangenheit lassen?
Jeden Cent spenden, den du hast?
(Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre
(Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
(Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre)

[Strophe 2]
Gegen den Strich sollte eine Lebensweise sein
Was den Preis wert ist, ist immer den Kampf wert
Jede Sekunde zählt, denn es gibt keinen zweiten Versuch
Also lebe so, als würdest du es nie zweimal erleben
Nimm nicht den Freifahrtschein in deinem eigenen Leben
(Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)

[Refrain 2]
Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre
Und morgen zu spät wäre
Könntest du dem Gestern Lebewohl sagen? (Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Würdest du jeden Moment wie deinen letzten leben?
Alte Bilder in der Vergangenheit lassen?
Jeden Cent spenden, den du hast? (Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Und würden Sie alte Freunde anrufen, die Sie nie sehen?
In alten Erinnerungen schwelgen?
Würden Sie Ihren Feinden verzeihen? (Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Würdest du den einen finden, von dem du träumst?
Schwörst du bei Gott oben und unten
Dass du dich endlich verliebst? (Dass du dich endlich verliebst)
Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre

[Bridge]
Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre
Würdest du dein Zeichen setzen, indem du ein gebrochenes Herz heilst?
Du weißt, es ist nie zu spät, nach den Sternen zu greifen
Unabhängig davon, wer du bist
Also tu was immer nötig ist (nötig ist)
Denn du kannst keinen Moment in diesem Leben zurückspulen
Lass nichts in deinem Weg stehen (Weg)
Denn die Hände der Zeit sind nie auf deiner Seite

[Refrain 2]
Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre
Und morgen zu spät wäre
Könntest du dem Gestern Lebewohl sagen? (Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Würdest du jeden Moment wie deinen letzten leben?
Alte Bilder in der Vergangenheit lassen?
Jeden Cent spenden, den du hast? (Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Und würden Sie alte Freunde anrufen, die Sie nie sehen?
In alten Erinnerungen schwelgen?
Würden Sie Ihren Feinden verzeihen? (Was wäre wenn, was wäre wenn?)
Würdest du den einen finden, von dem du träumst?
Schwörst du bei Gott oben und unten
Dass du dich endlich verliebst? (Dass du dich endlich verliebst)
Wenn heute dein letzter Tag wäre
