Natalie Merchant - Carnival (Tradução)
Carnival
Well, I've walked these streets
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
Makeup on their faces
Actors took their places next to me
Well, I've walked these streets
In a carnival of sights to see
All the cheap thrill-seekers
The vendors and the dealers
They crowded around me
Have I been blind?
Have I been lost inside myself and my whole mind?
Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen?
Well, I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
In the diamond market
The scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me
And I've walked these streets
In the madhouse asylum they can be
Where a wild-eyed mystic prophet on a traffic island stopped
And he raved of saving me
Have I been blind?
Have I been lost inside myself and my whole mind?
Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen
Have I been wrong?
Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along?
Hypnotized, paralyzed by what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen
What they have seen?
Have I been blind?
Have I been lost?
Have I been wrong?
Have I been wise?
Have I been strong?
Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized
By what my eyes have found?
In that great street carnival
Have I been blind?
Have I been lost?
Have I been wrong?
Have I been wise?
Have I been strong?
Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized
By what my eyes have found?
In that great street carnival, in that carnival?
Carnival (Tradução)
Eu ando por estas ruas
parecia para mim um palco virtual
criado pelos seus rostos
atores tomavam suas posições perto de mim
Eu ando por estas ruas
num carnaval
de visões para mim
todos que buscam emoções baratas
os vendedores e os negociantes
eles se enchem a minha volta
Estarei cega?
Estarei perdida?
dentro de mim e da minha mente
hipnotizada
fascinada
pelo que meus olhos vêem
Eu ando por estas ruas,
um espetáculo de riqueza e pobreza
em mercados de diamante
o tapete de boas-vindas escarlate
que eles estendem para mim
eu ando por estas ruas
em uma casa de asilo de loucos eles podem estar
onde um desajustado profeta de olhos vívidos
parou no tráfego da ilha
e ele proferiu minha salvação
REPETE REFRÃO
Estarei errada
Estarei certa
ao fechar meus olhos
e continuar caminhando
hipnotizada
paralizada
pelo que meus ohlos encontram
pelo que meus olhos vêem
pelo que eles vêem?
Estarei cega,
Estarei perdida,
dentro de mm e da minha mente
hipnotizada
fascinada
pelo que meus olhos encontram
naquele grande carnaval de rua
naquele carnaval?
