There was a man, There was a man, Havia um homem, A lonely man A lonely man Um homem só Who lost his love Who lost his love Que perdeu seu amor Through his indifference Through his indifference Através de sua indiferença A heart that cared A heart that cared Um coração que se importasse That went unshared That went unshared Que nunca foi compartilhado Until it died Until it died Até que morresse Within his silence Within his silence No seu silêncio And solitaire's the only game in town And solitaire's the only game in town E a solidão é o único jogo na cidade And every road that takes him takes him down And every road that takes him takes him down E toda estrada que o leva o deixa para baixo While life goes on around him everywhere While life goes on around him everywhere Enquanto a vida corre ao lado dele em todo lugar He's playing solitaire He's playing solitaire Ele está jogando o jogo da solidão A little hope A little hope Um pouco de esperança Goes up in smoke Goes up in smoke Vai-se como fumaça Just how it goes, Just how it goes, E do jeito que vai Goes without saying Goes without saying Vai sem avisar There was a man, There was a man, Havia um homem A lonely man A lonely man Um homem só Who would command Who would command Que poderia comandar The hand he's playing The hand he's playing A estratégia do que está jogando And solitaire's the only game in town And solitaire's the only game in town E a solidão é o único jogo na cidade And every road that takes him takes him down And every road that takes him takes him down E toda estrada que o leva o deixa para baixo And by himself it's easy to pretend And by himself it's easy to pretend E por ele é fácil fingir He'll never love again He'll never love again Que ele nunca irá amar novamente And keeping to himself he plays the game And keeping to himself he plays the game E guardando-se para si ele joga Without her love, it always ends the same Without her love, it always ends the same Sem o amor dela, sempre continua o mesmo While life goes on around him everywhere While life goes on around him everywhere Enquanto a vida corre ao lado dele em todo lugar He's playing solitaire He's playing solitaire Ele está jogando o jogo da solidão
