Song for the Colour Yellow

Quando eu tinha 14 anosWhen i was 14
Eu tinha uma camisa amarelaI had a yellow shirt
Com uma gola enorme e esvoaçanteWith a huge flapping collar
Usei ela em uma festa numa noite de sábadoI wore it to a party one saturday night
Achei que estava arrasandoI thought i looked great
Mas lembro de estar em um banheiro de baixoBut i remember standing in a downstairs loo
Enquanto a Leone e o namorado delaWhile leone and her boyfriend
Sentavam no chão do lado de foraSat on the floor outside
Lembro de ouvir ele dizerI remember hearing him say
"Quem diabos é ele?"who the bloody hell is he?
Você viu a camisa dele?"Have you seen his shirt?"
E então rindoAnd then laughing
Nunca quis usar de novo desde entãoI never wanted to wear it again since
Bom, fui a Portobello no sábado passadoWell i went to portobello last saturday
E lá estava minha camisaAnd there was my shirt
Então comprei de volta de novoSo i bought it back again

Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow

Na escola primária, tínhamos caixas de giz de ceraAt primary school we had sets of crayons
Giz de cera curtos e grossosGorgeous short thick crayons
Que pareciam ainda mais bonitosThat looked even more beautiful
Depois que os rótulos saíamOnce the labels had come off
E cada giz tinha um valorAnd each crayon had a value
E na moeda dos gizes de ceraAnd in the currency of crayons
O vermelho era visto como o mais valiosoRed was seen to be worth the most
Esse era o que todo mundo queriaThat's the one everybody wanted
Esse era o que todo mundo brigavaThat's the one everybody fought over
Bom, o vermelho era legalWell red was okay
Mas eu queria o amareloBut i wanted yellow

Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow

Quando eu tinha 7 anos, ganhei um suéter amareloWhen i was 7 i was given a yellow sweater
Eu amava aquele suéterI loved that sweater
Usava ele o tempo todoI wore it all the time
Sabe, existem diferentes tipos de amareloYou know there's different kinds of yellow
Alguns são finosSome are thin
E alguns são desbotadosAnd some are washed out
Mas esse era tão vibranteBut this was so rich
Atraía todas as abelhasIt used to attract all the bees
E eu usei até as mangasAnd i wore it until the sleeves
E a gola redonda ficaram deformadasAnd the round neck grew misshapen
Bom, fui na loja do Paul Smith outro diaWell i went to paul smith's the other day
E lá estava meu suéterAnd there was my sweater
Mas não consegui comprarBut i couldn't afford to buy it

Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
Ooo, ooo, a cor amarelaOoo, ooo, the colour yellow
