Lament

ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, TIM RICE

Lyrics Translation

The choice was mine, and mine completely
I could have any prize that I desired
I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire
Or else, or else I could choose time

Remember I was very young then
And a year was forever and a day
So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?
I saw the lights, and I was on my way

And how I lived, how they shone
But how soon the lights were gone

The choice was yours and noone else's
You can cry for a body in despair
Hang your head because she is no longer there
To shine, to dazzle, or betray
How she lived, how she shone
But how soon the lights were gone

Eyes, hair, face, image
All must be preserved
Still life displayed forever
No less than she deserved.

[Tradução de "Lament (Live 2004)", de Madonna]

[Verso]
A escolha foi minha e completamente minha
Eu poderia ter qualquer prêmio que eu quisesse
Eu poderia queimar com o esplendor da chama mais brilhante
Ou ao invés disso, ao invés disso eu poderia escolher tempo
Se lembre que eu era bem jovem
E um ano era para sempre e um dia
Então para que serviriam cinquenta, sessenta ou setenta anos?
Eu vi as luzes, e eu estava seguindo meu rumo
E como eu vivi, como elas brilharam
Mas como as luzes se foram cedo
