A Bailarina

The Ballerina

A Bailarina

She was almost a childEla era quase criança
In the sweet dreams of a girlNos sonhos bons de menina
She wanted to be famousQueria ser bem famosa
She wanted to be a ballerinaQueria ser bailarina

And she said goodbye so youngE despediu-se bem nova
Against her parents' wishesContra a vontade dos pais
And went to chase her dreamsE foi tentar a carreira
Never came back againNão retornou nunca mais

To tell her storyPara contar sua história
I don’t need muchNão preciso tanto
She was always deceivedEla foi sempre enganada
And things have changedE as coisas mudaram

In the end, she lost her careerNo fim perdeu a carreira
Became in lifeTornou-se na vida
A famous mistressUma famosa amante
That many lovedQue tantos amaram

The ballerina succeededA bailarina venceu
And has way too much fameE tem fama demais
She’s just differentApenas é diferente
But the path, thoughO caminho porém

She doesn’t dance on stageEla não dança no palco
She takes one at a timeRecebe um por vez
In that pretty roomNaquele quarto bonito
The audience comesA platéia vem

Every now and then she criesDe vez em quando ela chora
Remembers the dream she hadLembra do sonho passado
If she had known it allPois se soubesse de tudo
She wouldn’t have triedEla não tinha tentado

In this dance of nowNesse bailado de agora
The song is very sadÉ muito triste a canção
She hugs the fan who pays herAbraça o fã que lhe paga
Fame was an illusionA fama foi ilusão

To tell her storyPara contar sua história
I don’t need muchNão preciso tanto
She was always deceivedEla foi sempre enganada
And things have changedE as coisas mudaram

In the end, she lost her careerNo fim perdeu a carreira
Became in lifeTornou-se na vida
A famous mistressUma famosa amante
That many lovedQue tantos amaram

The ballerina succeededA bailarina venceu
And has way too much fameE tem fama demais
She’s just differentApenas é diferente
But the path, thoughO caminho porém

She doesn’t dance on stageEla não dança no palco
She takes one at a timeRecebe um por vez
In that pretty roomNaquele quarto bonito
The audience comesA platéia vem
