It is but a dated flower I bring to you It is but a dated flower I bring to you Trago a você apenas uma flor de tempos passados It is but a violet glistening with dew It is but a violet glistening with dew Apenas uma violeta reluzindo de orvalho For in our hearts our love for you lies unrevealed For in our hearts our love for you lies unrevealed Pois em nossos corações nosso amor por você permanece em segredo A stale romance and the solitude we share A stale romance and the solitude we share Um romance antigo e a solitude que compartilhamos Have dragged you to the beach to find me there Have dragged you to the beach to find me there Te arrastaram até à praia para encontrar-me ali Every promise undone glittering in the sun Every promise undone glittering in the sun Toda promessa desfeita brilhando sob o sol In the golden sway of violence In the golden sway of violence Ao sabor dourado da violência That morning you came and you stood in disbelief That morning you came and you stood in disbelief Naquela manhã em que você veio e ficou parada em descrença In longing and shame - the presentiment of grief In longing and shame - the presentiment of grief Com saudades e vergonha - o pressentimento do luto To forgive and to define this treachery of mine To forgive and to define this treachery of mine Para perdoar e para tentar entender essa traição minha You took off your clothes in silence You took off your clothes in silence Você tirou suas roupas em silêncio This sweet blue secrecy, the demands of destiny This sweet blue secrecy, the demands of destiny Essa doce segredo azul, as demandas do destino Now who will serve your pleasure, who will serve your greed? Now who will serve your pleasure, who will serve your greed? Agora, quem irá servir o seu prazer? Quem irá servir a sua ganância? Now that the men you treasured belong to the fleet Now that the men you treasured belong to the fleet Agora que os homens que você estimava pertencem à frota And watch the morrows tide, that frail and beautiful bride And watch the morrows tide, that frail and beautiful bride E assista às marés do amanhã, aquela frágil e bela noiva What a very strange season this is What a very strange season this is Que estranhíssima estação é esta! From the tender ax of springtime, defying the snows From the tender ax of springtime, defying the snows Do suave machado da primavera, desafiando as neves To the streaming summers hatchet she rose To the streaming summers hatchet she rose Até os contínuos verões, a machadinha se ergueu Now all covered with lime under an indifferent sky Now all covered with lime under an indifferent sky Agora, toda coberta de lima, sob um céu de indiferença We smother everything in kisses We smother everything in kisses Nós abafamos tudo em beijos Will we know eternity? Will we forge a way to see? Will we know eternity? Will we forge a way to see? Será que conheceremos a eternidade? Inventaremos um jeito de ver? Who will serve your pleasure, who will serve your greed? Who will serve your pleasure, who will serve your greed? Quem irá servir o seu prazer? Quem irá servir a sua ganância? Now that the men you treasured belong to the fleet Now that the men you treasured belong to the fleet Agora que os homens que você estimava pertencem à frota And watch the morrows tide, that frail and beautiful bride And watch the morrows tide, that frail and beautiful bride E assista às marés do amanhã, aquela frágil e bela noiva What a very strange season this is What a very strange season this is Que estranhíssima estação é esta! From the tender ax of springtime, defying the snows From the tender ax of springtime, defying the snows Do suave machado da primavera, desafiando as neves To the streaming summers hatchet she rose To the streaming summers hatchet she rose Até os contínuos verões, a machadinha se ergueu Now all covered with lime under an indifferent sky Now all covered with lime under an indifferent sky Agora, toda coberta de lima, sob um céu de indiferença We smother everything in kisses We smother everything in kisses Nós abafamos tudo em beijos Oh, we smother everything in kisses Oh, we smother everything in kisses Ah! Nós abafamos tudo em beijos
