We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.'
But i wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'i'm home on shore leave,'
Though in truth we were at sea
So i took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, 'you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bedUm Tom Mais Claro de Palidez"
Dançamos um fandango suave
E fizemos piruetas no salão
Eu estava me sentindo meio enjoado
A multidão pediu mais
O salão estava zunindo mais forte
E o teto se distanciou
Quando pedimos outra bebida
O garçom trouxe uma bandeja
E foi a**im que mais tarde
Enquanto o moleiro contava sua história
Que seu rosto, a princípio, apenas fantasmagórico,
Transformou-se em um tom mais claro de palidez
Ela disse 'Não há motivo"
E a verdade é simples de se ver,
Mas eu divagava através das minhas cartas do baralho E não poderia deixá-la ser
Uma das dezesseis virgens vestais
Que estavam partindo para a costa
E embora meus olhos estivessem abertos
Eles simplesmente podiam também ter ficado fechados.
E foi a**im que mais tarde
Enquanto o moleiro contava sua história
Que seu rosto, a princípio, apenas fantasmagórico,
Transformou-se em um tom mais claro de palidez.
