Close to the Borderline

Billy Joel

Letra Tradução

Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
The bums drop dead and dogs gone mad
In packs on the West Side
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
She wants to hit those bricks
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Life is tough but it's just enough
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
I survived, I'm still alive
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline

A buck three eighty
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
And when you can't get gas
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Shoved into the lost and found
The no-nukes yell "we're gonna all go to hell"
With the next big meltdown
I got remote control and a color T.V.
I don't change channels so they must change me
I got real close friends that will get me high
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline

I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
I thought I'd throw them all away
I didn't think I needed anything
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay

I need a doctor for my pressure pills
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
I need a banker to finance my home
But I need security to back my loan
It isn't new what I'm going through
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Another night I fought the good fight
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
To the borderline
To the borderline

Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
Apagão, onda de calor, homicídio de calibre .44
The bums drop dead and dogs gone mad
Os mendigos caem mortos e os cães enlouquecem
In packs on the West Side
Em bandos no lado oeste
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
Jovem garota parada em uma borda parece outro suicídio
She wants to hit those bricks
Ela quer bater naqueles tijolos
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
Porque as notícias às seis têm que cumprir o prazo
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place
Enquanto os milionários se escondem em Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
As senhoras dos sacos jogam seus ossos no meu rosto
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
Eu sou atacado por um garoto com som estéreo
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Eu não quero ouvir, mas ele não abaixa o volume
Life is tough but it's just enough
A vida é dura, mas é o suficiente
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
Para segurar as lágrimas até a hora de fechar
I survived, I'm still alive
Eu sobrevivi, ainda estou vivo
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Mas estou chegando perto da linha de limite
Close to the borderline
Perto da linha de limite
A buck three eighty
Um dólar e oitenta
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
Não compra muito ultimamente nas ruas hoje em dia
And when you can't get gas
E quando você não consegue gasolina
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Você sabe que não pode dirigir rápido mais nas rodovias
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Homem rico, homem pobre, de qualquer maneira americano
Shoved into the lost and found
Empurrado para o perdido e encontrado
The no-nukes yell "we're gonna all go to hell"
Os anti-nucleares gritam "vamos todos para o inferno"
With the next big meltdown
Com o próximo grande colapso
I got remote control and a color T.V.
Eu tenho controle remoto e uma TV colorida
I don't change channels so they must change me
Eu não mudo de canal, então eles devem me mudar
I got real close friends that will get me high
Eu tenho amigos muito próximos que vão me deixar alto
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
Eles não sabem como falar e não vão tentar
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
Eu não deveria reclamar, eu não deveria chorar
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
Eu começaria uma revolução, mas não tenho tempo
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
Eu não sei por que ainda sou um cara legal
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Mas estou chegando perto da linha de limite
Close to the borderline
Perto da linha de limite
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
Eu pensei que sacrificaria tantas coisas
I thought I'd throw them all away
Eu pensei que jogaria tudo fora
I didn't think I needed anything
Eu não achava que precisava de nada
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
Mas você não pode desperdiçar o que não está preparado para pagar
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
Eu preciso de um médico para minhas pílulas de pressão
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
Eu preciso de um advogado para minhas contas médicas
I need a banker to finance my home
Eu preciso de um banqueiro para financiar minha casa
But I need security to back my loan
Mas eu preciso de segurança para garantir meu empréstimo
It isn't new what I'm going through
Não é novo o que estou passando
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Mas todo mundo sabe que você tem que quebrar alguma vez
Another night I fought the good fight
Outra noite eu lutei a boa luta
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Mas estou chegando mais perto da linha de limite
Closer to the borderline
Mais perto da linha de limite
Closer to the borderline
Mais perto da linha de limite
Closer to the borderline
Mais perto da linha de limite
Closer to the borderline
Mais perto da linha de limite
To the borderline
Para a linha de limite
To the borderline
Para a linha de limite
Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
Apagón, ola de calor, homicidio de calibre .44
The bums drop dead and dogs gone mad
El vagabundo cayó muerto y los perros enloquecieron
In packs on the West Side
En manadas del West side
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
Una chica joven parada en la orilla parece como otro suicidio
She wants to hit those bricks
Ella quiere pegar contra esos ladrillos
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
Porque las noticias de las seis tienen que sacar un encabezado
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place
Mientras los millonarios se esconden en Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
Las damas con bolsos arrojándome huesos a la cara
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
Soy atacado por un niño con sonido estéreo
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
No quiero escucharlo pero él no le bajará
Life is tough but it's just enough
La vida es difícil pero es suficiente
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
Para aguantarme las lágrimas hasta que sea la última hora
I survived, I'm still alive
Sobreviví, sigo vivo
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Pero cada vez me acerco más al límite
Close to the borderline
Cerca del límite
A buck three eighty
Un dólar con ochenta centavos
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
No te alcanza para mucho hoy en día en la calle
And when you can't get gas
Y cuando no puedes comprar gas
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Sabes que ya no puedes conducir tan rápido en la parkway
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Hombre rico, hombre pobre, de cualquier forma americano
Shoved into the lost and found
Empujado entre lo perdido y encontrado
The no-nukes yell "we're gonna all go to hell"
Los anti-nucleares gritan "todos nos iremos al diablo"
With the next big meltdown
Con la siguiente crisis
I got remote control and a color T.V.
Tengo control remoto y una televisión a color
I don't change channels so they must change me
No cambio canales así que ellos deben cambiarme
I got real close friends that will get me high
Tengo amigos muy cercanos que me intoxican
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
Ellos no saben cómo hablar y no lo van a intentar
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
No debería quejarme, no debería llorar
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
Comenzaría una revolución pero no tengo tiempo
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
No sé por qué sigo siendo un tipo bueno
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Pero cada vez me acerco más al límite
Close to the borderline
Cerca del límite
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
Pensé que sacrificaría tantas cosas
I thought I'd throw them all away
Pensé que las abandonaría
I didn't think I needed anything
No creí necesitar nada
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
Pero no puedes arriesgar a perder lo que no estás preparado a pagar
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
Necesito a un doctor para mis pastillas de la presión
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
Necesito a un abogado para mis cuentas médicas
I need a banker to finance my home
Necesito a un banquero para financiar mi casa
But I need security to back my loan
Pero necesito seguro para respaldar mi préstamo
It isn't new what I'm going through
No es nuevo lo que estoy pasando
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Pero todos saben que alguna vez tienes que romperte
Another night I fought the good fight
Otra noche que hice la buena lucha
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Pero cada vez me acerco más al límite
Closer to the borderline
Más cerca del límite
Closer to the borderline
Más cerca del límite
Closer to the borderline
Más cerca del límite
Closer to the borderline
Más cerca del límite
To the borderline
