The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death

As Pessoas Que Ironizam a Si Próprias Até a Morte

They smiled so much and waved their flags They smiled so much and waved their flags Eles sorriram tanto e balançavam suas bandeiras As she saluted to the military band As she saluted to the military band Enquanto ela saudava a banda militar Most of the people failed to see Most of the people failed to see A maioria das pessoas não conseguiu ver She had a broken bottle in the other hand She had a broken bottle in the other hand Ela tinha uma garrafa quebrada na outra mão And she took them by surprise And she took them by surprise E ela pegou todos de surpresa When she took them by the throat When she took them by the throat Quando ela os pegou pela garganta And said: my friend you're not allowed to vote And said: my friend you're not allowed to vote E disse: Meu amigo você não tem permissão para votar But they shook it all off But they shook it all off Mas eles sacudiram tudo With a nervous laugh and cough With a nervous laugh and cough Com uma risada nervosa e tossindo Next time, she said: I'll let those people choke Next time, she said: I'll let those people choke Da próxima vez, ela disse: Eu vou deixar essas pessoas paralisadas The people who grinned themselves to death The people who grinned themselves to death As pessoas que ironizam a si próprias até a morte Smiled so much they failed to take a breath Smiled so much they failed to take a breath Sorriram tanto que não conseguiam respirar And even when their kids were starving And even when their kids were starving E mesmo quando seus filhos estavam morrendo de fome They all thought the queen was charming They all thought the queen was charming Todos eles achavam que a rainha era encantadora She polished all upon the wall She polished all upon the wall Ela poliu tudo em cima do muro And ran her hands right through her hair And ran her hands right through her hair E passou a mão direita pelo cabelo So if the lady took the time to call So if the lady took the time to call Portanto, se a senhora tiver tempo para chamar All the houses on the street would not compare All the houses on the street would not compare Todas as casas na rua não poderiam se comparar And she thought it really funny And she thought it really funny E ela pensou que era realmente engraçado That she hadn't any money That she hadn't any money Que não tinha nenhum dinheiro But those she looked up to, they had But those she looked up to, they had Mas aqueles que ela ajudou, eles tinham But they shook it all off But they shook it all off Mas eles sacudiram tudo With a nervous laugh and cough With a nervous laugh and cough Com uma risada nervosa e tosse And when they took her riches it was sad And when they took her riches it was sad E quando eles levaram suas riquezas isso foi triste The people who grinned themselves to death The people who grinned themselves to death As pessoas que ironizam a si próprias até a morte Smiled so much they failed to take a breath Smiled so much they failed to take a breath Sorriram tanto que não conseguiam respirar And even when their kids were starving And even when their kids were starving E mesmo quando seus filhos estavam morrendo de fome They all thought the queen was charming They all thought the queen was charming Todos eles achavam que a rainha era encantadora
