Promises must be kept

O prometido é devido

On that secret pathNaquele trilho secreto
With holy words and passwordCom palavras santo e senha
I was the tongue and you the dialectEu fui língua e tu dialecto
I was the flame and you were the woodEu fui lume e tu foste lenha

We were wars and alliancesFomos guerras e alianças
Peace treaties and quarrelsTratados de paz e péssangas
We were freckles, skin, and braidsFomos sardas pele e tranças
Poplin, silk, and denimPopeline seda e ganga

I remember that agreementRecordo aquele acordo
Very clear and acknowledgedBem claro e assumido
I climbed a eucalyptus treeEu trepava um eucalipto
And you took off your dressE tu tiravas o vestido

This time you didn't fulfillDessa vez tu não cumpriste
And you broke the promiseE faltaste ao prometido
I felt hurt and sadEu fiquei sentido e triste
Look, that's not rightOlha que isso não se faz

You said that if I were boldDisseste que se eu fosse audaz
You would take off your dressTu tiravas o vestido
Promises must be keptO prometido é devido

I tore my pantsRompi eu as minhas calças
Scraped my hands and kneesEsfolei mãos e joelhos
And you reduced the agreementE tu reduziste o acordo
To a pile of old shardsA um montão de cacos velhos

I who came from so farEu que vinha de tão longe
(from the other side of the street)(do outro lado da rua)
I would do whatever you wantedFazia o que tu quisesses
Just to see you nakedSó para te poder ver nua

I want the almanacs nowQuero já os almanaques
Of the Phantom and Scrooge McDuckDo fantasma e do patinhas
The Falcons and MandrakesOs falcões e os mandrakes
You won't hear from me anytime soonTão cedo não terás novas minhas
