La historia detrás de la canción
Algunas de las verdades más grandes llegan en los momentos más pequeños: la nariz de un hijo contra tu mejilla, una respiración, la suave presión de alguien que confía plenamente en vos. Reconocés la perfección justo cuando está pasando. Quisiéramos grabarla en granito, hacerla durar. Pero si clavás el ala, perdés el vuelo. Details habla de prestar atención: no para poseer el instante, sino para estar presente. El esfuerzo, el amor y el dejar ir también son parte del regalo.
Letra original
Attention to detail, my friend The facts, they surround us No secret, no lecture Just gotta pay attention All life’s mysteries, preanswered In a pressure soft and small Your child’s nose against your cheek And that’s the whole of it, that’s all No book can hold it, No sermon can name it Just gotta pay attention To God’s gift, the childrens song Cast it into granite Clutch it to your soul The evanescence of those moments The very thing that makes them whole Perfection obtained The instant that it’s gained Is already leaving, already fading That’s the nature of their fleeting Glory can not be grasped It’s in the song, it wings away, We can’t hold it it’s the striving It’s the striving that remains Try to keep it and you kill it Pin the wing and lose the flight The moment only lives in passing Only shines because it’s light We don’t get to keep the summit You get the climb, you get the ache Both hands open that’s the asking That’s the only kind we can take Cast it into granite Clutch it to your soul The evanescence of those moments The very thing that makes them whole Perfection obtained The instant that it’s gained Is already leaving, already fading That’s the nature of their fleeting Glory can not be grasped It’s in the song, it wings away So pay attention, pay attention Not to hold it just to feel The nose, the cheek, the breath, the Pressure Gone already, gone and free Perfection isn’t in the keeping It was never ours to own It’s the reaching, it’s the leaving It’s the striving that’s the throne Attention to detail, my friend The facts, they surround us Gone already And that’s the gift of it That’s the striving That’s the song.
