Eu li as notícias de hoje, oh, garoto I read the news today, oh, boy Sobre um sortudo que ganhou na loteria About a lucky man who made the grade E embora as notícias fossem um tanto tristes And though the news was rather sad Bem, não pude deixar de rir Well I just had to laugh Eu vi a fotografia I saw the photograph
Ele arrebentou a cabeça num carro He blew his mind out in a car Não tinha percebido que o semáforo havia mudado He didn't notice that the lights had changed Uma multidão parou e o encarou A crowd of people stood and stared Já tinham visto seu rosto em algum lugar They'd seen his face before Mas ninguém tinha certeza se não era um senador. Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords
Eu vi um filme hoje, oh, garoto I saw a film today, oh, boy O exército inglês acabara de vencer a guerra The english army had just won the war Uma multidão teve foi embora A crowd of people turned away Mas eu tive de olhar But I just had a look Tendo lido o livro Having read the book Eu adoraria te excitar! I'd love to turn you on
Acordei, caí da cama Woke up, fell out of bed Passei um pente pela minha cabeça Dragged a comb across my head Desci as escadas e tomei um café Found my way downstairs and drank a cup E olhando para cima, vi que estava atrasado And looking up I noticed I was late
Achei meu meu casaco e peguei meu chapéu Found my coat and grabbed my hat Subi no ônibus segundos depois Made the bus in seconds flat Subi as escadas e fumei um cigarro Found my way upstairs and had a smoke E alguém falou, e eu entrei em um sonho And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Eu li as notícias de hoje, oh garoto I read the news today, oh, boy Quatro mil buracos em Blackburn, Lancashire Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire E embora os buracos fossem bem pequenos And though the holes were rather small Eles tiveram que contá-los um a um They had to count them all Agora sabem quantos buracos são necessários para encher o Albert Hall Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall Eu adoraria te excitar! I'd love to turn you on!
