Vida Tão Estranha São de veludo as palavras Daquele que finge que ama Ao desengano levo a vida A sorte a mim já não me chama Vida tão só Vida tão estranha Meu coração, tão maltratado Já nem chorar, me traz consolo Resta-me só um triste fado A gente vive na mentira Já não dá conta do que sente Antes sózinha toda a vida Que ter um coração que mente Vida tão só Vida tão estranha Meu coração, tão maltratado Já nem chorar, me dá consolo Resta-me só um triste fado
«I’d like to lodge a complaint… with a relevant authority With each other’s where we ought to be, Cathy I’m gonna right to the Times, sign it desperate at “Dolphin’s Barn” Shouldn’t we be in each other’s arms, Cathy? Cathy, it’s at times like these I wish I wrote like you, You seem to bend your words to suit your needs, You melt my heart with your imagery, but I don’t know How to say it better, than darling since I met you I haven’t been the same And I don’t know, all the whys and wherefores But you’re the one I care for and that will never change Cathy Oh to be with you tonight, smoke a jay and drink a g and t, Do whatever’s coming naturally, Cathy Turn the sheets into sails Turn the bed into a golden ship Floating slowly down the Mississippi, Cathy.. Cathy Cathy can you help me please, you put these things more poetically than me I’ve sang of how love feels but it’s much harder when it’s all real And I don’t know How to make it clearer, than honey when I’m near you It’s like I’m in a dream, and I don’t know…..in stormy weather Just to be together is good enough for me.. Cathy… Cathy.. Cathy»
