Cabaré(original) |
Na porta lentas luzes de neon |
Na mesa flores murchas de crepon |
E a luz grená filtrada entre conversas |
Inventa um novo amor, loucas promessas |
De tomara-que-caia surge a crooner do norte |
Nem aplausos, nem vaias: um silêncio de morte |
Ah, quem sabe de si nesses bares escuros |
Quem sabe dos outros, das grades, dos muros |
No drama sufocado em cada rosto |
A lama de não ser o que se quis |
A chama quase morta de um sol posto |
A dama de um passado mais feliz |
Um cuba-libre treme na mão fria |
Ao triste strip-tease da agonia |
De cada um que deixa o cabaré |
Lá fora a luz do dia fere os olhos |
Ah, quem sabe de si nesses bares escuros |
Quem sabe dos outros |
(translation) |
On the slow door neon lights |
On the table withered crepon flowers |
And the garnet light filtered between conversations |
Invents a new love, crazy promises |
From hope-to-fall, a crooner from the north appears |
Neither applause nor boos: a dead silence |
Oh, who knows you in these dark bars |
Who knows about the others, the bars, the walls |
In the drama suffocated in every face |
The mud of not being what you wanted |
The almost dead flame of a set sun |
The lady from a happier past |
A cuba-libre trembles in the cold hand |
To the sad striptease of agony |
Of everyone that leaves the cabaret |
Outside the daylight hurts the eyes |
Oh, who knows you in these dark bars |
who knows about others |
