Velho o suficiente para ser pai dela Old enough to be her dad Mas os homens novos eram loucos, eles remoíam But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances suas desilusões... And she was flattered by his charm E ela estava lisonjeada por seu charme It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances Isso não iria machucá-la, os dois tiveram suas chances
Ele mandava flores e limousines He sent her flowers and limousines Ela era tratada como uma rainha She was treated like a queen E qualquer coisa que ela sempre quis, Anything she ever wanted Não era problema para um homem como ele It was no problem for a man like him E todos esperavam que logo And everyone expected soon Ela pudesse pedi-lo a lua, That she could ask him for the moon Se usasse o anel dele If she would wear his ring
Olhares de seus amigos Knowing glances from his friends Nos lares aos fins de semana da alta sociedade In the homes at the weekends of high society Mas ele não se importava But he didn't give a damn Ele nunca se sentiu tão homem He never felt more like a man
E a todo o tempo o relógio estava correndo... And all the time the clock was ticking E todos iriam invejar o homem mais velho e sua And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife bela esposa jovem Yes, all would envy Sim, todos iriam invejar
Numa casa na colina In a house upon a hill Ela estava lá com tempo para matar She was there with time to kill Ela vivia a vida que sonhará She lived a life she'd only dreamed A vida nunca foi o que pareceu The life was never what it seemed Para todos os amigos que ela ignorara To all her friends that she'd ignored Ela negava que estava entediada She denied she was bored Ela não tinha tempo para dançar, sem tempo para She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing dançar...
Mas o relógio na parede, But the clock upon the wall Que fazia tic-tac no hall That was ticking in the hall Sempre a lembrava, Always reminded her Que a vida também estava passando That life was going on as well Mas ela estava feliz e jurava que But she was happy and she would swear she wouldn't change a thing não mudaria nada
E todos iriam invejar o homem mais velho e sua And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife bela esposa jovem Yes, all would envy Sim, todos iriam invejar
Agora são 5 horas da manhã Now it's 5 o'clock am Ela deve ter de novo passado a noite com aquele She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers velho amigo dela She loves to dance Ela ama dançar... She's missing more and more these days Ela está sentindo mais e mais falta destes dias But he's still stuck in his old ways Mas ele ainda está preso à antigas manias Perhaps she needs a little more romance Talvez ela precise de um pouco mais de romance But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall Mas o relógio na parede ainda está fazendo tic-tac She must be home soon, soon no hall Where a younger man would weep Ela deve chegar em casa logo He takes a pill and goes to sleep Onde um homem mais jovem se lamentaria Ele toma um remédio e vai dormir
Agora quem iria invejar o homem mais velho e sua Now who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife bela esposa jovem Who would envy? Quem iria invejar? Who would envy?
