Keeping The Curtains Closed

Mantendo as Cortinas Fechadas

Keeping The Curtains Closed

Ele está esperando o ônibus chegar, esperando ali desde as 3He's been waiting for the bus to come, been waiting there since 3
E quando ele aparecer, vai ficar tão feliz quanto um garoto pode serAnd when it comes around he will be as happy as a boy can be
Mas as pessoas se preocupam umas com as outrasBut people worry about each other
Algumas até se preocupam comigoSome even worry about me
E assim ele fica parado no ponto de ônibus, lá no final da filaAnd so he stands at the busstop at the back of the line
E tem gente demais e tempo de menosAnd there's too many people and there's not enough time
Então agora ele está mantendo as cortinas fechadasSo now he's keeping the curtains closed

Ele estava esperando a revolução passar na sua ruaHe was waiting for the revolution to rumble down his street
Porque quando ela chegasse'Coz when it came around
Ele tinha certeza de que todos teríamos o suficiente para comerHe was sure that we'd all get enough to eat

Mas no ponto de ônibus ele ainda está naquela filaBut at the busstop he's still on that line
E tem gente demais e tempo de menosAnd there's too many people and there's not enough time
Então ele está mantendo as cortinas fechadasSo he's keeping the curtains closed

E não adianta perguntar o que deu erradoAnd there's no point asking what went wrong
Nada, pelo que eu posso verNothing as far as I can see
Ele só ficou ali no ponto de ônibus, lá no final da filaHe just stood there at the busstop at the back of the line
E tinha gente demais; não havia tempo suficienteAnd there were too many people; there was not enough time
E agora ele está mantendo as cortinas fechadasAnd now he's keeping the curtains closed
Ele só está mantendo as cortinas fechadasHe's just keeping the curtains closed
Ele só está mantendo as cortinas fechadasHe's just keeping the curtains closed
Ele só está mantendo as cortinas fechadasHe's just keeping the curtains closed
