Eu era sua estranha I was his foreigner E ele era o meu And he was mine A gente comia em terraços We ate on terraces E bebia os vinhos mais baratos And drank the cheapest wine E ele acreditou em mim And he believed in me Pelos caminhos tortuosos Down by the serpentine Como é que eu ia saber How was I to know Era a melhor coisa It was the best thing A acontecer por um bom tempo To come along for a long time
Virei a página I turned the page E vi três crianças sorrindo And saw three children with smiles Fiquei olhando pra ver I looked to see O que eu faria com a mais nova What I could make of the youngest child E quando ela soprou as velinhas And as she blew the candles out Fez cinco anos She turned five Como é que eu ia saber How was I to know Era a melhor coisa It was the best thing A acontecer por um bom tempo To come along for a long time
O que as pessoas no fim do mundo fazem? What do the people at the end of the world do E o tempo? E o tempo? About time? What about time? O segredo deles dormem comigo Their secret sleeps with me
