The Story of Lily Braun

A História de Lily Braun

Like in a novelComo num romance
The man of my dreamsO homem dos meus sonhos
Appeared to me at the danceMe apareceu no dancing
He was just anotherEra mais um
But in a glanceSó que num relance
His eyes sucked me inOs seus olhos me chuparam
Like a zoomFeito um zoom

He devoured meEle me comia
With those eyesCom aqueles olhos
Eating photographyDe comer fotografia
I said cheeseEu disse cheese
And from close-up to close-upE de close em close
I lost my composureFui perdendo a pose
And even smiled, happyE até sorri, feliz

And he returnedE voltou
Offered me a drinkMe ofereceu um drinque
Called me a blue angelMe chamou de anjo azul
My visionMinha visão
Was gradually becoming blurredFoi desde então ficando flou

Like in the moviesComo no cinema
He would sometimes send meMe mandava às vezes
A rose and a poemUma rosa e um poema
SpotlightFoco de luz
I, like a gemEu, feito uma gema
Melting completelyMe desmilinguindo toda
To the sound of the bluesAo som do blues

He abused the scotchAbusou do scotch
Said my bodyDisse que meu corpo
Was only his that nightEra só dele aquela noite
I said pleaseEu disse please
Shawl on my necklineXale no decote
I shot back withDisparei com as faces
Blushing and feverish cheeksRubras e febris

And he returnedE voltou
At the final showNo derradeiro show
With ten poems and a bouquetCom dez poemas e um buquê
I said goodbyeEu disse adeus
I'm leaving with mineJá vou com os meus
On a tourNuma turnê

Like loving a wifeComo amar esposa
He said that nowDisse ele que agora
He only loved me as a wifeSó me amava como esposa
Not as a starNão como star
He crushed the rosesMe amassou as rosas
Burned the photosMe queimou as fotos
Kissed me at the altarMe beijou no altar

Never another romanceNunca mais romance
Never another movieNunca mais cinema
Never another drink at the danceNunca mais drinque no dancing
Never another cheeseNunca mais cheese
Never a diveNunca uma espelunca
A rose neverUma rosa nunca
Never again happyNunca mais feliz
