All Would Envy

Todos Teriam Inveja

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 faria mal a ela, todos tiveram suas chancesIt wouldn't do her any harm they 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 luaThat she could ask him for the moon
Se ela usasse seu anelIf 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 teriam invejaAnd all would envy
Do homem mais velho e sua linda jovem esposathe older man and his beautiful young wife
Sim, todos teriam invejaYes, 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 dançar, não tinha tempo pra dançarShe had no time for dancing, no time for dancing

Mas o relógio na paredeBut the clock upon the wall
Que estava correndo no corredorThat was ticking in the hall
Sempre a lembravaAlways reminded her
Que a vida continuava tambémThat life was going on as well
Mas ela estava feliz e juravaBut she was happy and she would swear
Que não mudaria nadashe wouldn't change a thing

E todos teriam invejaAnd all would envy
Do homem mais velho e sua linda jovem esposathe older man and his beautiful young wife
Sim, todos teriam invejaYes, all would envy

Agora são 5 da manhãNow it's 5 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 correndo no corredorBut the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
Ela deve voltar logo… logoShe must be home soon… soon
Onde um homem mais jovem chorariaWhere a younger man would weep
Ele toma um comprimido e vai dormirHe takes a pill and goes to sleep

Agora quem teria invejaNow who would envy
Do homem mais velho e sua linda jovem esposathe older man and his beautiful young wife
Quem teria inveja?Who would envy?
Quem teria inveja?Who would envy?
