Tecnologia de ontem

I made her out of yesterday's technology, stuff that didn't pass the test

Her heart oscillated wildly, until it burst out of her chest

Her eyes were valves and LEDs, but they were slightly faulty

I never got to hold her hand, let alone anything more naughty

She fell apart so slowly

I didn't see what was going on

Until it was too late

They said it was unholy

They didn't know I loved her so

Until it was too late

I followed all the diagrams, though they were complicated

I had to substitute some parts when others disintegrated

I had to do it on my own; I could accept no assistance

I calculated all the voltages, but I forgot about resistance

She fell apart so slowly

I didn't see what was going on

Until it was too late

They said it was unholy

They didn't know I loved her so

Until it was too late

And on and on and on, automaton.

Eu a fiz de tecnologia de ontem, o material que não passou no teste

Seu coração oscilou loucamente, até que explodiu do peito

Seus olhos eram de válvulas e LEDs, mas estavam ligeiramente defeituoso

Nunca cheguei a segurar a mão dela, e muito menos nada mais impertinente

Ela se desfez tão devagar

Eu não vi o que estava acontecendo

Até que fosse tarde demais

Eles disseram que era profano

Eles não sabiam que eu amava

Até que fosse tarde demais

Segui todos os diagramas, se fossem complicadas

Eu tive que substituir algumas peças quando os outros se desintegrou

Eu tinha que fazer isso por conta própria; Eu poderia aceitar nenhuma assistência

Eu calculei todas as tensões, mas eu esqueci de resistência

Ela se desfez tão devagar

Eu não vi o que estava acontecendo

Até que fosse tarde demais

Eles disseram que era profano

Eles não sabiam que eu amava

Até que fosse tarde demais

E assim por diante, autômato.
