Letra da Semana

POSTCARDS FROM PARAGUAY
POSTAIS DO PARAGUAY
(Mark Knopfler)

One thing was leading to the next
Uma coisa levou a outra
I bit off more than I could chew
O olho foi maior que a barriga
I had the power to sign the cheques
Eu podia assinar os cheques
It wasn´t difficult to do
Era fácil de se fazer
I couldn´t stay and face the music
Não pude ficar e encarar as consequências
So many reasons why
São tantas razões pelas quais
I won´t be sending postcards
Não vou enviar cartões postais
From Paraguay
Do Paraguai

I robbed a bank full of dinero
Roubei um banco cheio de dinheiro
A great big mountain of dough
Uma montanha de grana
So it was goodbye compañero
Daí foi adeus, companheiro
And cheerio
E inté
I couldn´t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won´t be sending postcards
From Paraguay

I never meant to be a cheater
Nunca quis ser um trapaceiro
But there was blood on the wall
Mas havia sangue na parede
I had to steal from Peter
Tive que roubar do Peter
To pay what I owed to Paul
Para pagar o que devia ao Paul
I couldn´t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won´t be sending postcards
From Paraguay
