Paroles et traduction Gloria Gadelha - João e Maria

João e Maria

Agora eu era o herói
E o meu cavalo só falava inglês
A noiva do cowboy
Era você além das outras três
Eu enfrentava os batalhões
Os alemães e seus canhões
Guardava o meu bodoque
E ensaiava o rock para as matinês

Agora eu era o rei
Era o bedel e era também juiz
E pela minha lei
A gente era obrigado a ser feliz
E você era a princesa que eu fiz coroar
E era tão linda de se admirar
Que andava nua pelo meu país

Não, não fuja não
Finja que agora eu era o seu brinquedo
Eu era o seu pião
O seu bicho preferido
Vem, me dê a mão
A gente agora já não tinha medo
No tempo da maldade acho que a gente nem tinha nascido

Agora era fatal
Que o faz-de-conta terminasse assim
Pra lá deste quintal
Era uma noite que não tem mais fim
Pois você sumiu no mundo sem me avisar
E agora eu era um louco a perguntar
O que é que a vida vai fazer de mim?

John and Mary

Now I was the hero
And my horse spoke only English
The cowboy's bride
You were the only one out of the three
I faced the battalions
The Germans and their cannons
I put away my slingshot
And practiced rock music for the matinees

Now I was the king
I was the bailiff and I was also a judge
And by my law
People like us were forced to be happy
And you were the princess I crowned
And you were so beautiful to behold
That you walked naked through my country

No, don't run away
Just pretend that now I was your toy
I was your spinning top
Your favorite pet
Come, give me your hand
We were no longer afraid
In the age of evil I don't think we were even born

Now it was inevitable
That the make-believe would end like this
Beyond this backyard
There was a night that has no end
Because you disappeared into the world without warning me
And now I was a madman asking
What will life do with me?
