I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I've seen the lights go out on Broadway Eu vi as luzes se apagarem na Broadway I saw the empire state lay low I saw the empire state lay low Eu vi o Empire State cair Life went on beyond the palisades Life went on beyond the palisades A vida continuou para além de palisades They all bought Cadillacs and left there long ago They all bought Cadillacs and left there long ago Todos eles compraram cadillacs e sairam de lá há muito tempo We held a concert out in Brooklyn We held a concert out in Brooklyn Nós realizamos um concerto em Brooklyn To watch the island bridges blow To watch the island bridges blow Para assistir as pontes da ilha explodir They turned our power down They turned our power down Eles cortaram nossa energia And drove us underground And drove us underground Nos levaram pro subterrâneo But we went right on with the show But we went right on with the show Mas fomos em frente com o show I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I've seen the lights go out on Broadway Eu vi as luzes se apagam na Broadway I saw the ruins at my feet I saw the ruins at my feet Eu vi as ruínas aos meus pés You know we almost didn't notice it You know we almost didn't notice it Você sabe que nós quase não as notamos We'd see it all the time on 42nd street We'd see it all the time on 42nd street Nós as vemos o tempo todo na quadragesima rua They burned the churches up in Harlem They burned the churches up in Harlem Eles queimaram as igrejas em harlem Like in that Spanish Civil War Like in that Spanish Civil War Como na guerra civil espanhola The flames were everywhere The flames were everywhere As chamas estavam por toda parte But no one really cared But no one really cared Mas ninguém realmente se importou It always burned up there before It always burned up there before Elas sempre queimaram lá I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I've seen the lights go out on Broadway Eu vi as luzes se apagam na Broadway I watched the mighty skyline fall I watched the mighty skyline fall Eu assisti a queda do poderoso horizonte The boats were waiting at the battery The boats were waiting at the battery Os barcos estavam esperando na bateria The union went on strike The union went on strike O sindicato entrou em greve They never sailed at all They never sailed at all Eles nunca navegaram, de qualquer forma They sent the carrier out from Norfolk They sent the carrier out from Norfolk Eles mandaram a transportadora de Norfolk And picked the Yankees up for free And picked the Yankees up for free E carregaram os yankees gratuitamente They said that queens could stay They said that queens could stay Eles disseram que o queens poderia ficar They blew the Bronx away They blew the Bronx away Eles explodiram o bronx pra longe And set Manhattan out at sea And set Manhattan out at sea E mandaram Manhattan pro mar You know those lights were bright on Broadway You know those lights were bright on Broadway Você sabe que aquelas luzes eram brilhantes na Broadway But that was so many years ago But that was so many years ago Mas isso foi há muitos anos Before we all lived here in Florida Before we all lived here in Florida Antes de todos vivermos aqui na fFórida Before the mafia took over Mexico Before the mafia took over Mexico Antes da máfia assumir o México There are not many who remember There are not many who remember Não há muitos que se lembram They say a handful still survive They say a handful still survive Dizem que um punhado ainda sobrevivem To tell the world about To tell the world about Para dizer ao mundo sobre The way the lights went out The way the lights went out A forma como as luzes se apagaram And keep the memory alive And keep the memory alive E manter a memória viva
