Dinu Lipatti's Bones

Os Ossos de Dinu Lipatti

Dinu Lipatti's Bones

A gente cheirava a tinta de cabelo e amônia.We stank of hair dye and ammonia.
Nos trancamos longe dos olhares.We sealed ourselves away from view.
Você olhava para o vazio, sem piscar.You were looking at the void and sat unblinking.
O melhor que eu podia fazer era fixar meus olhos em você.The best that i could do was to train my eyes on you.

Escalamos as colinas escondidas sob a superfície,We scaled the hidden hills beneath the surface,
Raspamos nossos dedos até sangrar nas pedras.Scraped our fingers bloody on the stones.
E construímos nossa casinha pra viverAnd built our little house that we could live in
Com os ossos de Dinu Lipatti.Out of dinu lapatti's bones.

Mantivemos nossos amigos afastados o verão todo.We kept our friends at bay all summer long.
Tratamos os dias como se fossem nos matar se pudessem.Treated the days as if they'd kill us if they could.
Tocando as horas como lençóis ensanguentadosRinging out the hours like blood drenched bed sheets
Pra manter o inverno longe, mas dezembro chegou de qualquer jeito.To keep winter time at bay but december showed up anyway.

Não havia grana, era grana que você queria.There was no money it was money that you wanted.
Fui pro centro, vendi quase tudo que eu tinha.I went downtown, sold off most of what i owned.
E levantamos uma torre pra transmitir todos os nossos sonhos sombriosAnd we raised a tower to broadcast all our dark dreams
Dos ossos de Dinu Lipatti.From dinu lapatti's bones.
