Um velho amigo A very old friend came back today Voltou hoje, 'Cause he was telling everyone in town Porque ele estava dizendo a todos na cidade Of the love that he just found Do amor que ele só encontrou, And Marie's the name of his latest flame E Maria o nome De sua mais recente paixão
Ele falava e falava He talked and talked and I heard him say E eu ouvi dizer That she had the longest blackest hair Que ela tinha o maior cabelo negro, The prettiest green eyes anywhere Os olhos verdes mais bonitos em qualquer lugar, And Marie's the name of his latest flame. E Maria é o nome De sua mais recente paixão
Embora eu sorriu as lágrimas dentro era uma queima de Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning Desejei-lhe sorte e então eu disse adeus. I wished him luck and then he said goodbye Ele se foi, mas suas palavras voltavam He was gone but still his words kept returning O que esta lá para me fazer chorar, mas, What else was there for me to do but cry Você acreditaria que ontem, Esta menina estava em meus braços e jurou para mim, Ela seria minha eternamente, E Maria é o nome De seu mais recente chama.
Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and sworn to me She'd be mine eternally And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and sworn to me She'd be mine eternally And Marie's the name of his latest flame And Marie's the name of his latest flame And Marie's the name of his latest flame And Marie's the name of his latest flame
