The glitter on a paint and plaster face The glitter on a paint and plaster face O glitter na pintura e o rosto de gesso Is covering desire and disgrace Is covering desire and disgrace Está cobrindo o desejo e a desgraça We could be lovers We could be lovers Nós poderíamos ser amantes But no one suspects at all But no one suspects at all Mas nenhum suspeito pra todos Once you're inside that costume ball Once you're inside that costume ball Uma vez que você está desntro dessa bola de costume And now I'm sitting here before the mirror And now I'm sitting here before the mirror E agora eu estou sentando aqui à frente do espelho I have the skill still to disguise my tears I have the skill still to disguise my tears Eu tenho a habilidade para disfarçar ainda minhas lágrimas Then as the magic starts to fade Then as the magic starts to fade Então como os começos mágicos desvaneça-se I find myself abandoning the masquerade I find myself abandoning the masquerade E me acho abandonado o mascarado Even though you're suffering Even though you're suffering Mesmo que você esteja sofrendo You try to hide it You try to hide it Você tenta escondê-lo And pretend you're so nonchalant And pretend you're so nonchalant E finge que você está tão radiante You can cry a pool of tears You can cry a pool of tears Você pode chorar uma piscina de lágrimas And sit beside it And sit beside it E sentar aqui ao lado Then perhaps you'll know what you want Then perhaps you'll know what you want Então talvez você saberá o que você quer I hope you never feel this much despair I hope you never feel this much despair Eu espero que você nunca sinta muito esse desespero Or know the meaning of that empty chair Or know the meaning of that empty chair Ou saiba o significado dessa cadeira vazia As the illusions that we made all fade away As the illusions that we made all fade away Como as ilusões que nós fizemos todas vão embora In this abandoned masquerade In this abandoned masquerade Neste mascarado abandonado
