Shooting Star

Estrela Cadente

Shooting Star

Ele era louco, claroHe was crazy of course
Desde o começo ela já devia saberFrom the first she must have known it
Mas mesmo assim, seguiu com eleBut still she went on with him
E nunca mostrou que se importavaAnd she never once had shown it
Ela o tirou das ruasAnd she took him off the streets
E enxugou suas lágrimas de dorAnd she dried his tears of grievin'g
Ela ouviu suas visõesShe listened to his visions
Ela acreditou em seu acreditarShe believed in his believin'

Ah, ele era o sol queimando forte e frágilAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
E ela era a lua refletindo um pouco de sua luzAnd she was the moon shining back his light a little
Ele era uma estrela cadenteHe was a shooting star
Ela era mais suave e mais lentaShe was softer and more slowly
Ele não conseguia tornar as coisas possíveisHe could not make things possible
Mas ela podia torná-las sagradas, sagradas...But, she could make them holy, holy...

Ele dançava ao som de uma músicaHe was dancin' to some music
Que ninguém mais já ouviuNo one else had ever heard
Ele falava em línguas desconhecidasHe'd speak in unknown languages
Ela traduzia cada palavraShe'd translate every word
E quando o mundo riaAnd when the world was laughing
De seus castelos no céuAt his castles in the sky
Ela o segurava em seu corpoShe'd hold him in her body
E ele voava novamenteAnd he once again would fly

Ah, ele era o sol queimando forte e frágilAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
E ela era a lua refletindo um pouco de sua luzAnd she was the moon shining back his light a little
Ele era uma estrela cadenteHe was a shooting star
Ela era mais suave e mais lentaShe was softer and more slowly
Ele não conseguia tornar as coisas possíveisHe could not make things possible
Mas ela podia torná-las sagradas, sagradas...But, she could make them holy, holy...

Mas ela deu a ele uma filhaBut she gave him a daughter
E deu a ele um filhoAnd she gave him a son
Ela era mãe, e esposa,She was a mother, and a wife,
E amante quando o dia acabavaAnd a lover when the day was done
Bem, ele estava longe demais para dar amorWell, he was too far gone for giving love
O que ele oferecia em seu lugarWhat he'd offer in it's stead
Era o conhecimento de que ela era a única coisaWas the knowledge she was the only thing
Que não estava em sua cabeçaThat was not in his head

Ele partiu para o leste uma manhãHe took off east one morning
Na luz vermelha do sol nascenteIn the rising sun's red glow
Ela sabia que ele não ia a lugar nenhumShe knew he was going nowhere
Mas, claro, deixou ele irBut of course she let him go
Enquanto ela ficava e o via sumirAs she stood and watched him dwindle
Muito vazia para ficar tristeMuch too empty to be sad
Ele reapareceu ao seu lado e disse,He reappeared beside her and said,
Você é tudo que eu já tiveYou're all I've ever had

Ah, ele era o sol queimando forte e frágilAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
E ela era a lua refletindo um pouco de sua luzAnd she was the moon shining back his light a little
Ele era uma estrela cadenteHe was a shooting star
Ela era mais suave e mais lentaShe was softer and more slowly
Ele não conseguia tornar as coisas possíveisHe could not make things possible
Mas ela podia torná-las sagradasBut, she could make them holy
Ah, ele era o sol queimando forte e frágilAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
E ela era a lua refletindo um pouco de sua luzAnd she was the moon shining back his light a little
Ele era uma estrela cadenteHe was a shooting star
Ela era mais suave e mais lentaShe was softer and more slowly
Ele não conseguia tornar as coisas possíveisHe could not make things possible
Mas ela podia torná-las sagradasBut, she could make them holy
Sagradas...Holy...
