Harmony, No Harmony

Harmonia, Sem Harmonia

Harmony, No Harmony

Quando o último eco se apaga,When the last of the echoes fades,
quando os pratos e as cordas já não soam mais,when the cymbals and the strings have died away,
quando fico só com o zumbido nos ouvidos,when I am left with just the ringing in my ears,
respiro fundo e me acalmo,I take a breath and I settle down,
tento contar as coisas que realmente importam,I try to count the things that really count,
para entender o que fiz nos últimos anos.to figure out what I've done with the last few years.

E depois de toda a luta e o desgaste,And after all the struggle and the strain,
e depois de toda a perda por pouco ganho,and after all the loss for little gain,
as harmonias se foram,the harmonies have faded away,
mas a melodia permanece.but the melody remains.

Cresci no interior - lá eu poderia ter vivido,I grew up in the countryside - there I could have lived,
e eu poderia ter morrido,and I could have died,
poderia ter água encanada e segurança.I could have had running water and security.
Mas peguei um trem para Londres,But I took a train up to London town,
perdi meu dinheiro e me joguei no som - em empregos ruins,lost my money and immersed myself in sound - in lame jobs,
noitadas, dietas ruins e pobreza.late nights, poor diets and poverty.

E depois de toda a luta e o desgaste,And after all the struggle and the strain,
e depois de toda a perda por pouco ganho,and after all the loss for little gain,
as harmonias se foram,the harmonies have faded away,
mas a melodia permanece.but the melody remains
