Rock of Gibraltar




Não é todos os dias que nos movemos para ir ver um rochedo. Não é todos os dias que entramos em Gibraltar ao som de uma canção. Mas ali no caminho para África não podemos deixar de ficar fascinados com este rochedo repleto de macacos, com grutas coloridas e escavacado de tunéis, devido à guerra que por lá houve.
De lá de cima, a vista é de cortar a respiração, de um lado a Baía de Algeciras, em frente África e depois mais Mar Mediterrâneo. Para contar histórias ficam as fotos, as recordações e a canção de Nick Cave.

"Rock Of Gibraltar"
Let me say this to you
I'll be steadfast and true
And my love will never falter
The sea would crash about us
The waves would lash about us
I'll be your Rock of Gibraltar

Sometimes it's hard
And we're both caught off guard
But there's nothing I would ever alter
The wind could howl round our ears
For the next thousand years
I'd still be your Rock of Gibraltar

The best thing I done
Was to make you the one
Who I'd walk with down to the altar
You'd stand by me
And together we'd be
That great, steady Rock of Gibraltar

Under the big yellow moon
On our honeymoon
I took you on a trip to Malta
And all through the night
You held me so tight
Your great, steady Rock of Gibraltar

Could the powers that be
Ever foresee
That things could so utterly alter?
All the plans that we laid
Could soon be betrayed
Betrayed like the Rock of Gibraltar
