Cheers

Na altura em que a sitcom Cheers passava na RTP 1, era jovem para ter os meus 6 anos, se tanto, e, por isso, não fazia a mínima ideia do que aquela gente que falava numa língua esquisita estava a dizer. Agora, graças às reposições da Sic Comédia, sou rapaz para apreciar o bom humor de outros tempos. E mais, agora que compreendo, sou também rapaz para apreciar a música que nos dava as boas vindas à série e que estabelecia assim todo o ambiente em volta daquele bar.
Por isso deixo aqui a letra dessa música, acho que nos é familiar a todos, porque todos temos um lugar assim.

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead;
The morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe,
And didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
People are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
