When I was eight I had a friend When I was eight I had a friend Quando eu tinha oito anos eu tinha uma amiga With a pirate smile With a pirate smile Com um sorriso pirata Make believe and play pretend Make believe and play pretend Brincávamos de faz de conta We were innocent and wild We were innocent and wild Éramos inocentes e livres Hopped a fence and slammed the gate Hopped a fence and slammed the gate Pulei uma cerca e bati o portão Running down my alleyway Running down my alleyway Desci correndo pelo meu atalho In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly A tempo de ver as pombas de sally voarem We loved to watch them dive and soar We loved to watch them dive and soar Adorávamos vê-las mergulharem e planarem Circle in the sky Circle in the sky Círculo no céu Free as a bird from three to four Free as a bird from three to four Livres feito pássaros das três às quatro And never knowing why And never knowing why E nunca entendendo por que Neighbors pulled their wash back in Neighbors pulled their wash back in Os vizinhos recolhiam suas roupas Put away my Barbie and Ken Put away my Barbie and Ken Guardei minha barbie e ken Look out overhead Look out overhead Cuidado com a cabeça While Sally's pigeons fly While Sally's pigeons fly Enquanto as pombas de sally voam I had a fool's confidence I had a fool's confidence Eu tinha a confiança de uma tola That the world had no boundaries That the world had no boundaries Que o mundo não tinha fronteiras But instincts and common sense But instincts and common sense Mas o instinto e o bom senso Come in different quantities Come in different quantities Vêm em quantidades diferentes My heart began to My heart began to Meu coração começou a bater Skip to the beat Skip to the beat descompassado Of the boy next door Of the boy next door Pelo do garoto da casa ao lado She had her eye across the street She had her eye across the street Ela estava de olho do outro lado da rua On someone shy and tall On someone shy and tall Em alguém alto e tímido We lived our dreams We lived our dreams Vivemos nossos sonhos And challenged fate And challenged fate E desafiamos o destino In tears she told me she was late In tears she told me she was late Aos prantos ela me disse que estava atrasada And Sally let his pigeons out to fly... And Sally let his pigeons out to fly... E sally libertou suas pombas para voarem... On the dresser sits a frame On the dresser sits a frame Em cima da cômoda tem uma moldura With a photograph With a photograph Com uma fotografia Two little girls in ponytails Two little girls in ponytails Duas garotinhas usando rabo-de-cavalo Some twenty one years back Some twenty one years back Há vinte e um anos atrás She left one night with just a nod She left one night with just a nod Ela partiu uma noite com um simples aceno Was lost from some back alley job Was lost from some back alley job Se perdeu num trabalho de fundo de quintal I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly Eu fecho os meus olhos e as pombas de sally voam She never saw those birds again She never saw those birds again Ela nunca mais viu aqueles pássaros de novo And me, I can't remember when And me, I can't remember when E quanto a mim, não posso me lembrar quando A pirate smile hasn't made me cry A pirate smile hasn't made me cry Um sorriso pirata não me fez chorar I close my eyes I close my eyes Eu fechos os meus olhos And Sally's pigeons fly... And Sally's pigeons fly... E vejo os pombos de sally voarem...
