The Art Teacher

O Professor de Artes

The Art Teacher

Lá estava eu de uniformeThere I was in uniform
Olhando para o professor de artesLooking at the art teacher
Eu era apenas uma garota entãoI was just a girl then;
E nunca tinha amado até aquele momentoNever have I loved since then

Ele não era tão mais velho que euHe was not that much older than I was
Ele tinha levado a nossa classe ao Museu MetropolitanHe had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
Ele perguntou quais eram nossas obras de arte preferidasHe asked us what our favorite work of art was,
Mas nunca pude lhe dizer que era ele mesmoBut never could I tell it was him
Ah, eu queria ter dito a eleOh, I wish I could tell him --
Ah, eu queria ter contando para eleOh, I wish I could have told him

Olhei os Reubens e RembrandtsI looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
Gostei de John Singer SargentsI liked the John Singer Sargents
Ele me disse que gostava de TurnerHe told me he liked Turner
E eu nunca havia olhado até entãoNever have I turned since then
Não, eu nunca havia olhado para nenhum outro homemNo, never have I turned to any other man

Tendo tudo isso dito,All this having been said,
Casei-me com um alto executivoI married an executive company head
Tendo tudo isso feito, um Turner ? eu possuo umAll this having been done, a Turner - I own one
Aqui estou unifomizada nesta espécie de terninhoHere I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Pensando no professor de artesThinking of the art teacher
Eu era apenas uma garota entãoI was just a girl then;
E nunca havia amado até aquele momentoNever have I loved since then
Não, eu nunca havia amado nenhum outro homemNo, never have I loved any other man
