I will never be anybody else but me

Aldo Gabbay 1964 (sap paulo)



I will never be anybody else but me
Everybody thinks that I should be
Like Bush, Eric Clapton, Pablo Neruda, or an activist
But I will never be that
A singer is not something I dream of
Poetry I understand
But Pablo Neruda is somebody else
I am me
And if they are not happy with who I am too bad
Because I will never be anybody else
Frankly I am getting tired of this
Nonsenses to me
