The Don

O Don

The Don

Pensando em poemas de pobrezaThinking of poems of poverty
Sentado com o pulso apertado, pensando em como ganhar autoridadeSitting with a tight clenched wrist, thinking how to gain authority
Oh, que toque suave de um garotoOh what a soft touch of a boy
Ele vagava com orgulho para vender e guardar visões para si mesmoHe'd wander with pride to sell and keep visions to his self
Visões para si mesmoVisions to his self

Falávamos de tesouros e jogos superestimadosWe'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games
Roubávamos as garrafas de leite, esgueirando-nos pelo fundo, pelo caminho do Jimmy.We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
O que mais amávamos era ficar na loja, enquanto esse pobre garoto estava sentado sozinho,What we loved most of all, was sitting round the shop, while this poor boy was sitting all alone,
Sentado sozinhoSitting all alone

Refletindo sobre tempos de refúgioPondering times of sanctuary
Ele estava sentado fazendo suas aulas de piano, nós estávamos em meio a um EHe was sitting taking his piano lessons, we were on half an E
Investiu a vida na medicina, tinha tanta merda acontecendo.Invested life in medicine, had so much shit going on.
Convencido de que nunca venceria. Convencido de que era um pecado.Convinced he'd never win. Convinced he was a sin.

Falávamos de mulheres e de comidas baratasWe'd speak of women and cheaper carryouts
Aparecíamos em todos os festivais, tentando derrubar os cambistas,We'd turn up to all the festivals, trying to bring down the touts,
O que mais amávamos era ficar na loja, enquanto esse jovem garoto estava sentado sozinho,What we love the most of all was sittin' at the shop, while this young boy was sittin' all alone,
Sentado sozinhoSittin' all alone

Falávamos de tesouros e jogos superestimadosWe'd talk of treasures and overrated games
Roubávamos as garrafas de leite, esgueirando-nos pelo fundo, pelo caminho do Jimmy.We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
O que mais amávamos era ficar na loja, enquanto esse pobre garoto estava sentado sozinho,What we loved most of all, was sitting at the shop, while this poor boy was sitting all alone,
Sentado sozinhoSittin' all alone

Ele não conseguia encontrar ninguém igual a ele, não tinha ninguém igual a eleHe couldn't find none of his own kind, he didn't have none of his own kind
Você deveria se interessar pela mente dele, não passar todo o tempo desperdiçando seu dinheiro e tempoYou should take interest in his mind, not spend all of his time wastin all his money and time

O que mais amávamos era ficar na lojaWhat we loved most of all was hanging round the shop
O que mais amávamos era sentar na lojaWhat we loved most was sitting round the shop
O que mais amávamos era ficar na loja Dryburgh,What we loved most was standing at the Dryburgh shop,
O que mais amávamos era ficar na loja enquanto ele estava sozinhoWhat we loved the most was hanging round the shop while he was all alone
