Todos Irão Invejar

All Would Envy

Velho o suficiente pra ser pai delaOld enough to be her dad
Mas os jovens estavam só putosBut the young men were just mad
Eles alimentavam suas mágoasThey nursed their grievances
E ela se sentia lisonjeada com seu charmeAnd she was flattered by his charm
Não ia fazer mal nenhum pra elaIt wouldn't do her any harm
Todos tiveram suas chancesThey all had their chances

Ele mandou flores e limusinesHe sent her flowers and limousines
Ela era tratada como uma rainhaShe was treated like a queen
Qualquer coisa que ela quisesseAnything she ever wanted
Não era problema pra um cara como eleIt was no problem for a man like him
E todo mundo esperava logoAnd everyone expected soon
Que ela pudesse pedir a Lua, se usasse seu anelThat she could ask him for the Moon, if she would wear his ring

Olhares significativos dos amigos deleKnowing-glances from his friends
Nas casas, nos finais de semana da alta sociedadeIn the homes, at the weekends of high society
Mas ele não estava nem aíBut he didn't give a damn
Nunca se sentiu tão homemHe never felt more like a man

E o tempo todo, o relógio estava correndoAnd all the time, the clock was ticking
E todos iriam invejarAnd all would envy
O homem mais velho e sua linda esposa jovemThe older man and his beautiful, young wife
Sim, todos iriam invejarYes, all would envy

Numa casa no alto da colinaIn a house upon a hill
Ela estava lá, com tempo de sobraShe was there, with time to kill
Vivia uma vida que só sonhouShe lived a life she'd only dreamed
A vida nunca foi o que pareciaThe life was never what it seemed
Para todos os amigos que ela ignorouTo all her friends that she'd ignored
Ela negou que estava entediadaShe denied she was bored
Não tinha tempo pra dançarShe had no time for dancing
Não tinha tempo pra dançarNo time for dancing

Mas o relógio na paredeBut the clock upon the wall
Que estava ticando no corredorThat was ticking in the hall
Sempre a lembravaAlways reminded her
Que a vida estava seguindo, tambémThat life was going-on, as well
Mas ela estava felizBut she was happy
E jurava que não mudaria nadaAnd she would swear she wouldn't change a thing

E todos iriam invejarAnd all would envy
O homem mais velho e sua linda esposa jovemThe older man and his beautiful, young wife
Sim, todos iriam invejarYes, all would envy

Agora são cinco da manhãNow it's five-o'clock AM
Ela deve ter passado a noite de novoShe must have spent the night again
Com aquele velho amigo delaWith that old friend of hers
Ela adora dançarShe loves to dance
Ela está sentindo falta disso cada vez maisShe's missing more and more these days
Mas ele ainda está preso em seus velhos hábitosBut he's still stuck in his old ways
Talvez ela precise de um pouco mais de romancePerhaps she needs a little more romance

Mas o relógio na parede ainda está ticando no corredorBut the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
Ela deve voltar logoShe must be home soon
Logo, onde um homem mais jovem chorariaSoon, where a younger man would weep
Ele toma um comprimido e vai dormirHe takes a pill, and goes to sleep

Agora, quem iria invejar o homem mais velhoNow, who would envy the older man
E sua linda esposa jovem?And his beautiful, young wife?
Quem iria invejar?Who would envy?
Quem iria invejar?Who would envy?
