Stranger In Moscow

I was wandering in the rain
Estava andando pela chuva
Mask of life, feelin' insane
Escondido, sentindo-me louco
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Rápidos e vindos do nada do céu
Sunny days seem far away
Dias de sol parecem estar bem longe
Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me
A sombra do Kremlin me diminui
Stalin's tomb won't let me be
O túmulo de Stalin não me deixa em paz
On and on and on it came
Tudo chegava de uma vez
Wish the rain would just let me be
Queria que a chuva me deixasse em paz
Chorus:
How does it feel
Como você se sente
(How does it feel)
(Como você se sente)
How does it feel
Como você se sente
How does it feel
Como você se sente
When you're alone
Quando você está sozinho
And you're cold inside
E frio por dentro
Here abandoned in my fame
Abandonado na minha fama
Armageddon of the brain
Em uma luta interna cerebral
KGB was doggin' me
A KGB me persegue
Take my name and just let me be
Leve meu nome, deixe-me em paz
Then a begger boy called my name
Um menor abandonado me chamou
Happy days will drown the pain
Dias felizes vão afogar a dor
On and on and on it came
Tudo chegava de uma vez
In the rain, and again, and again
Na chuva, de novo, de novo
Take my name and just let me be
Leve meu nome, deixe-me em paz
Chorus
Like a stranger in Moscow
Como um estranho em Moscou
(Lord have mercy)
Deus, tenha piedade
We're talkin' danger
Estamos conversando perigosamente
We're talkin' danger baby
Estamos conversando perigosamente, baby
I'm livin' lonely
Estou muito sozinho
Tradução de Luis Fernando Longhi.
