Half A Century High

Meio Século de Altura

Half A Century High

No tubo onde eu nasciIn the tube where i was born
Eu poderia jurarI could have sworn
Que havia tanto pra verThere was so much to see
Que havia tão pouco pra serThere was so little left to be
Mas eu era livreBut i was free

O mundo na minha mãoThe world at my command
Através das dúvidas eu corriThrough the doubts i ran
Procurando um caraLooking for a man
Que se parecesse comigoThat looked like me

E agora posso contarAnd now it can be told
Estou com um quarto de séculoI'm a quarter a century old
Mas sou meio século de alturaBut i'm a half a century high

No tubo onde eu cresciIn the tube where i was grown
Eu estava sozinhoI was alone
A figura no chãoThe figure on the floor
O sonho atrás da portaThe dream behing the door
O som era baixoThe sound was low

Jogo de bola na ruaBall game on the street
Desapareceu atrás dos meus pésDisappeared behing my feet
Sem fôlego meu coração batiaOut of breath my heart would beat
Pra ver um showTo see a show

E agora posso contarAnd now it can be told
Estou com um quarto de séculoI'm a quarter of a century old
Mas sou meio século de alturaBut i'm half a century high

No tubo onde eu fui mortoIn the tube where i was killed
Eu estava completoI was fulfilled
As linhas de luz se curvavamThe lines of light would bend
Eu encarava até o fimI'd stare until the end
E de novoAnd then again

Fascinado pela modaFascinated by the fad
Eu dei toda a mente que eu tinhaI gave all the mind i had
E sempre que eu estava tristeAnd whenever i was sad
Eu tinha meus amigosI had my friends

E agora posso contarAnd now it can be told
Estou com um quarto de séculoI'm a quarter of a century of old
Mas sou meio século de alturaBut i'm a half a century high
