Letra de
Luka

A música Luka, escrita e interpretada por Suzanne Vega, é uma canção que fala sobre a violência doméstica, contada através dos olhos de um menino chamado Luka que vive no mesmo prédio que a narradora. A música aborda de forma sutil a dor e o sofrimento causados pelo abuso, sugerindo que ocorrem dentro da casa de Luka. Foi um grande sucesso na década de 80, trazendo à tona conversas sobre um tema muito importante mas muitas vezes ignorado.

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before.

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit you until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore


Yes I think I'm OK
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone
Nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
C D (hit it twice)

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

And they only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
