Scraping his bow Scraping his bow Raspando o arco The old violinist plays out of tune, The old violinist plays out of tune, O velho violinista toca fora do tom Blues on his fingers. Blues on his fingers. O Blues em seus dedos The people hurry by The people hurry by As pessoas passam apressadas As he plays upon his corner, As he plays upon his corner, Enquanto ele toca em sua esquina Sometimes throw a coin Sometimes throw a coin Às vezes, jogam uma moeda And if they see the pain in his eyes And if they see the pain in his eyes E se eles veem a dor em seus olhos They just look away. They just look away. Apenas desviam o olhar Old men in the park Old men in the park Os velhos no parque Spitting at the world Spitting at the world Cospem para o mundo Just count the hours Just count the hours Só contam as horas Faded flowers Faded flowers Flores murchas Left up on the shelf, Left up on the shelf, Deixada na prateleira Trying to keep warm Trying to keep warm Tentam se manter aquecidos In an overcoat of memories, In an overcoat of memories, Em um casaco de memórias Soon be dead. Soon be dead. Logo estarão mortos Scraping for fuel Scraping for fuel Restos de combustível This crazy old world is quite out of tune, This crazy old world is quite out of tune, Esse mundo velho e louco está completamente fora do tom Too many trumpets Too many trumpets Muitos trompetes The people hurry by The people hurry by As pessoas passam apressadas All looking for a corner All looking for a corner Todas procurando por um canto And if they meet a friend And if they meet a friend E se encontram um amigo Who asks them to repay some old favour, Who asks them to repay some old favour, Que lhes pede para retribuir um favor antigo They just look away. They just look away. Apenas desviam o olhar Old men in the dark Old men in the dark Os velhos na escuridão Sitting on the world Sitting on the world Sentados no mundo Play cards with words, Play cards with words, Jogam baralho com as palavras So absurd, So absurd, Tão absurda The devil's harmony. The devil's harmony. A harmonia do diabo Each man to himself Each man to himself Cada homem por si mesmo In a well cut suit of selfishness, In a well cut suit of selfishness, Em um terno bem cortado de egoísmo Just looks away. Just looks away. Apenas olha para longe
