Nothing I have is truly mine

 Dido é o pseudónimo artístico de Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong e é uma cantora e compositora inglesa. Teve grande sucesso no virar do século com as suas canções "Here with Me" and "Thank You", ambas do álbum de estreia "No Angel" que saiu em 1999. Com esse álbum recebeu dois Brit Awards e o MTV Europe Music Award. As letras das suas canções são simples, cantadas naturalmente e sem esforço e é bom ouvir outra vez a sua voz.

 Aqui fica a  canção "Life for Rent"  que está incluída no álbum homónimo de 2003 e foi escrita pela própria Dido e pelo seu irmão Rollo Armstrong.

Life for Rent

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
That your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

 

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine

 

I've always thought
That I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
And live more simply

 
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
'Cause there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

 

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine

 

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine

 

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well, how can I say I'm alive?

 

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine

 

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
