Romeo and Juliet
Mark Knopfler
A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
"Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
"Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time
"Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
And a lovestruck Romeo, he sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
"You and me, babe, how about it?"
A Trágica Serenata Moderna de Romeo And Juliet do Dire Straits
A canção 'Romeo And Juliet' da banda britânica Dire Straits, liderada pelo vocalista e guitarrista Mark Knopfler, é uma reinterpretação moderna da clássica história de amor de William Shakespeare. A música, lançada em 1980 no álbum 'Making Movies', utiliza a narrativa de Romeu e Julieta para explorar um amor frustrado, permeado por desencontros e pela realidade crua que muitas vezes desafia o ideal romântico.
A letra começa com um Romeu apaixonado, cantando serenatas pelas ruas, uma imagem que remete ao ato de cortejar sob a janela da amada. No entanto, a resposta de Julieta é menos do que entusiástica, sugerindo uma complexidade e uma resistência que não se encaixam na idealização do amor. A música sugere que, apesar da paixão intensa, há um reconhecimento de que o tempo e as circunstâncias estavam errados para o amor deles prosperar. A referência ao 'filme', possivelmente alude a adaptações cinematográficas da história de Shakespeare, indicando que a realidade do casal é muito diferente da versão romantizada vista nas telas.
A canção também aborda a dor da saudade e a dificuldade de expressar o amor de maneira que faça justiça aos sentimentos. O protagonista admite sua incapacidade de articular seu amor como é feito na televisão ou em canções de amor, mas declara sua disposição de fazer qualquer coisa por Julieta, exceto deixar de amá-la. Através de metáforas poéticas, como 'beijar através das barras de uma rima', Knopfler expressa a sensação de estar preso por palavras que são inadequadas para descrever a profundidade de seus sentimentos. 'Romeo And Juliet' do Dire Straits é uma balada que captura a complexidade do amor real, contrastando com a simplicidade do amor idealizado, e permanece como uma das canções mais emocionantes e bem-crafted da banda.
A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
Um Romeu apaixonado cantou uma serenata nas ruas
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Acalmando todo mundo com uma canção de amor que ele fez
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Encontra um poste aceso, sai da sombra
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
E diz algo como: eu e você, amor, o que você acha?
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
Julieta diz: Ei é o Romeu! Você quase me mata do coração
He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back
Ele está embaixo da janela, ela está cantando "Opa, meu namorado voltou
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Você não devia vir aqui, cantar pras pessoas dessa maneira"
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
E aí, o que você vai fazer?
"Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
Julieta, os dados estavam viciados desde o início
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart
E eu apostei, então você explodiu meu coração
And I forget, I forget the movie song
E eu esqueci, esqueci a canção do filme
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
Quando você vai perceber que apenas aconteceu na hora errada, Julieta?
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Apareço em ruas diferentes, ambas eram ruas da vergonha
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
Ambas sujas, ambas más, sim, e o sonhos eram sempre os mesmos
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
E eu sonhei seu sonho por você, e agora o seu sonho é real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
Como você pode olhar para mim como se eu fosse apenas outra das suas jogadas?
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
Quando você se apaixona por correntes de prata, você pode se apaixonar por correntes de ouro
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
Você pode se apaixonar por belos estranhos e as promessas que eles fazem
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Você me prometeu tudo, você me prometeu grosso e fino, sim
Now you just say "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
Agora você só diz: oh Romeu, sim, você sabe que eu tinha uma cena com ele
"Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
Julieta, quando fazíamos amor, você costumava chorar
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
Você disse "Eu te amo como as estrelas acima, eu te amarei "até morrer".
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Há um lugar para nós, você conhece a canção do filme
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
Quando você vai perceber que apenas aconteceu na hora errada, Julieta?
I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
Não consigo falar, como eles falam na TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
E não consigo fazer uma canção de amor, do jeito que deve ser
I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
Eu não posso fazer tudo, mas farei qualquer coisa por você
I can't do anything except be in love with you
Não posso fazer nada a não ser estar apaixonado por você
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
E tudo o que eu faço é sentir sua falta e do jeito que éramos
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
Tudo que eu faço manter o ritmo e as más companhias
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Tudo que faço é beijar você através da métrica de uma rima
Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time
Julieta, eu iria às estrelas com você qualquer hora
"Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
"Julieta, quando fazíamos amor, você costumava chorar
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
Você disse "Eu te amo como as estrelas acima, eu te amarei "até morrer".
There's a place for us you know the movie song
E existe um lugar pra gente, você sabe, a canção do filme
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
Quando você vai perceber que apenas aconteceu na hora errada, Julieta?

No deberías venir por aquí cantándole a la gente así
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
De todos modos, ¿qué vas a hacer al respecto?»

Y aposté, y tú explotaste en mi corazón
And I forget, I forget the movie song
Y me olvido, me olvido de la canción de la película
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
¿Cuándo te darás cuenta de que era el momento equivocado, Julieta?»
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Salimos de calles diferentes, ambas eran calles de vergüenza
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
Las dos sucias, las dos malas, sí, y el sueño era igual
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
Y soñé tu sueño para ti y ahora tu sueño es real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

Ahora solo dices: «Ah, Romeo, sí, solía tener una escena con él»
"Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry

Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
Bref, qu'est-ce que tu vas faire ?»
"Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
« Juliette, les dés étaient pipés dès le départ
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart
Et j'ai parié, et tu as explosé dans mon cœur
And I forget, I forget the movie song
Et j'oublie, j'oublie la chanson du film
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
Quand vas-tu réaliser que le moment était vraiment mal choisi, Juliet ?»
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Ils ont grandi dans des rues différentes, mais toutes deux étaient des rues de la honte
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
Tous les deux sales, tous les deux méchants, oui, et le rêve était juste le même

Wann wirst du begreifen, dass es nur der falsche Zeitpunkt war, Julia?“
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Auf verschiedenen Straßen aufgewachsen, waren sie beide Straßen der Schande
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
Beide schmutzig, beide gemein, ja, und der Traum war genau derselbe

Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
両者とも汚く、意地悪で、そう、夢だけが一緒だった
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
君のために君の夢を夢見た、そして今君の夢は現実になってる
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
どうしたら俺のことを、君にとってのただの契約の一つみたいな目で見られるんだい?
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
銀のチェーンの上へ落ちる時、金のチェーンの上へ落ちることもできる
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
かわいい見知らぬ人と恋に落ちることも、その約束も
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
君は俺に全てを約束した、分厚いのも薄っぺらいのも yeah
Now you just say "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
今じゃ君はこう言うだけ「あぁロミオ、昔は彼とのシーンがあったのよ」って
"Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
「ジュリエット、俺たちが愛し合う時、君は泣いてた
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
空に輝く星のように愛してると言った、死ぬまであなたを愛するわって
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
俺たちのための場所がある、あの映画の曲だよ
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
あの時間は間違ってたと君はいつ気がつくの、ジュリエット?」
I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
テレビのようなトークは俺にはできない
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
意図された通りのラブソングはできない
I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
全てをやることはできないけど、君のためなら何だってやるよ
I can't do anything except be in love with you
君と恋に落ちる以外に何もできないんだ
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
君が恋しいし、かつての君が恋しくてたまらない
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
俺にできることはビートを刻み続けることだけ、悪い仲間さ
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
俺にできることはタイムの行越しに君にキスするだけ
Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time
ジュリー、いつだって君と星になるよ
"Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
「ジュリエット、俺たちが愛し合う時、君は泣いてた
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
空に輝く星のように愛してると言った、死ぬまであなたを愛するわって
There's a place for us you know the movie song
俺たちのための場所がある、あの映画の曲だよ
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
あの時間は間違ってたと君はいつ気がつくの、ジュリエット?」
And a lovestruck Romeo, he sang the streets a serenade
恋に夢中なロミオは路上でセレナーデを歌った
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
彼が作ったラブソングでみんな大人しくしてる
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
便利な街灯を見つけて、影から一歩出る
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
こんなことを言うのさ「君と僕、ベイビー、それってどうかな?」
"You and me, babe, how about it?"
「君と僕、ベイビー、それってどうかな?」
