The Ballad of Lucy Jordan

SHEL SILVERSTEIN

Letra Tradução

The morning sun touched lightly on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
In a white suburban town

And she lay there 'neath the covers
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
'Til the world turned to orange
And the room went spinning round

At the age of thirty seven
She realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair

So she let the phone keep ringing
And she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized
In her Daddy's easy chair

Her husband, he's off to work
And the kids are off to school
And there were oh so many ways
For her to spend her days

She could clean the house for hours
Or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street
Screaming all the way

At the age of thirty seven
She realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair

So she let the phone keep ringing
As she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized
In her Daddy's easy chair

The evening sun touched gently on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed
When all the laughter grew too loud

And she bowed and curtsied to the man
Who reached and offered her his hand
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd

At the age of thirty seven
She knew she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris
With the warm wind in her hair

The morning sun touched lightly on
O sol da manhã tocou levemente em
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
Os olhos de Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
Em um quarto suburbano branco
In a white suburban town
Em uma cidade suburbana branca
And she lay there 'neath the covers
E ela ficou ali debaixo das cobertas
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
Sonhando com mil amantes
'Til the world turned to orange
Até o mundo se tornar laranja
And the room went spinning round
E o quarto começou a girar
At the age of thirty seven
Aos trinta e sete anos
She realized she'd never ride
Ela percebeu que nunca iria
Through Paris in a sports car
Passear por Paris em um carro esportivo
With the warm wind in her hair
Com o vento quente em seus cabelos
So she let the phone keep ringing
Então ela deixou o telefone continuar tocando
And she sat there softly singing
E ela ficou ali cantando suavemente
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized
Pequenas cantigas de ninar que ela memorizou
In her Daddy's easy chair
Na cadeira confortável de seu pai
Her husband, he's off to work
Seu marido, ele foi para o trabalho
And the kids are off to school
E as crianças foram para a escola
And there were oh so many ways
E havia tantas maneiras
For her to spend her days
Para ela passar seus dias
She could clean the house for hours
Ela poderia limpar a casa por horas
Or rearrange the flowers
Ou rearranjar as flores
Or run naked through the shady street
Ou correr nua pela rua sombreada
Screaming all the way
Gritando o tempo todo
At the age of thirty seven
Aos trinta e sete anos
She realized she'd never ride
Ela percebeu que nunca iria
Through Paris in a sports car
Passear por Paris em um carro esportivo
With the warm wind in her hair
Com o vento quente em seus cabelos
So she let the phone keep ringing
Então ela deixou o telefone continuar tocando
As she sat there softly singing
Enquanto ela ficava ali cantando suavemente
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized
Lindas cantigas de ninar que ela memorizou
In her Daddy's easy chair
Na cadeira confortável de seu pai
The evening sun touched gently on
O sol da noite tocou gentilmente em
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
Os olhos de Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed
No telhado onde ela subiu
When all the laughter grew too loud
Quando toda a risada ficou muito alta
And she bowed and curtsied to the man
E ela se curvou e fez uma reverência ao homem
Who reached and offered her his hand
Que estendeu a mão e a ofereceu
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd
E ele a levou até o longo carro branco que esperava além da multidão
At the age of thirty seven
Aos trinta e sete anos
She knew she'd found forever
Ela sabia que tinha encontrado para sempre
As she rode along through Paris
Enquanto ela passeava por Paris
With the warm wind in her hair
Com o vento quente em seus cabelos
The morning sun touched lightly on
El sol de la mañana tocó ligeramente
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
Los ojos de Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
En un dormitorio suburbano blanco
In a white suburban town
En un pueblo suburbano blanco
And she lay there 'neath the covers
Y ella yacía allí debajo de las cobijas
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
Soñando con mil amantes
'Til the world turned to orange
Hasta que el mundo se volvió naranja
And the room went spinning round
Y la habitación comenzó a girar
At the age of thirty seven
A la edad de treinta y siete
She realized she'd never ride
Se dio cuenta de que nunca pasearía
Through Paris in a sports car
Por París en un coche deportivo
With the warm wind in her hair
Con el cálido viento en su cabello
So she let the phone keep ringing
Así que dejó que el teléfono siguiera sonando
And she sat there softly singing
Y se sentó allí cantando suavemente
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized
Pequeñas rimas de cuna que había memorizado
In her Daddy's easy chair
En el cómodo sillón de su papá
Her husband, he's off to work
Su esposo, él se fue a trabajar
And the kids are off to school
Y los niños se fueron a la escuela
And there were oh so many ways
Y había tantas maneras
For her to spend her days
Para que ella pasara sus días
She could clean the house for hours
Podría limpiar la casa durante horas
Or rearrange the flowers
O reorganizar las flores
Or run naked through the shady street
O correr desnuda por la calle sombreada
Screaming all the way
Gritando todo el camino
At the age of thirty seven
A la edad de treinta y siete
She realized she'd never ride
Se dio cuenta de que nunca pasearía
Through Paris in a sports car
Por París en un coche deportivo
With the warm wind in her hair
Con el cálido viento en su cabello
So she let the phone keep ringing
Así que dejó que el teléfono siguiera sonando
As she sat there softly singing
Mientras se sentaba allí cantando suavemente
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized
Bonitas rimas de cuna que había memorizado
In her Daddy's easy chair
En el cómodo sillón de su papá
The evening sun touched gently on
El sol de la tarde tocó suavemente

On the rooftop where she climbed
En la azotea donde subió

Cuando todas las risas se volvieron demasiado fuertes

Que extendió y le ofreció su mano

And she lay there 'neath the covers
E lei giaceva lì sotto le coperte
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
Sognando mille amanti
'Til the world turned to orange
Finché il mondo si trasformò in arancione
And the room went spinning round
E la stanza cominciò a girare
At the age of thirty seven
All'età di trentasette anni
She realized she'd never ride
Si rese conto che non avrebbe mai guidato
Through Paris in a sports car
Attraverso Parigi in una macchina sportiva
With the warm wind in her hair
Con il vento caldo nei suoi capelli
So she let the phone keep ringing

And she sat there softly singing
E si sedette lì a cantare dolcemente
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized
Piccole filastrocche che aveva memorizzato
In her Daddy's easy chair
Nella poltrona comoda di suo papà
Her husband, he's off to work
Suo marito, è andato a lavorare

Per lei di trascorrere le sue giornate
She could clean the house for hours
Poteva pulire la casa per ore
Or rearrange the flowers
O riordinare i fiori
Or run naked through the shady street
O correre nuda per la strada ombrosa
Screaming all the way
Urlando tutto il tempo
At the age of thirty seven
All'età di trentasette anni
She realized she'd never ride
Si rese conto che non avrebbe mai guidato
Through Paris in a sports car
Attraverso Parigi in una macchina sportiva

As she sat there softly singing
Mentre si sedeva lì a cantare dolcemente
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized
Belle filastrocche che aveva memorizzato
In her Daddy's easy chair
Nella poltrona comoda di suo papà
The evening sun touched gently on
Il sole della sera toccò dolcemente
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
Gli occhi di Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed
Sul tetto dove era salita
When all the laughter grew too loud
Quando tutte le risate divennero troppo forti
And she bowed and curtsied to the man
E lei si inchinò e fece un inchino all'uomo
Who reached and offered her his hand
Che le porse la mano
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd
E lui la condusse giù alla lunga macchina bianca che aspettava oltre la folla
At the age of thirty seven
All'età di trentasette anni
She knew she'd found forever
Sapeva di aver trovato per sempre
As she rode along through Paris
Mentre guidava attraverso Parigi
With the warm wind in her hair
Con il vento caldo nei suoi capelli
