The Girl Running

Passenger


I see the girl running
With no shoes on her feet
Jumping shade to shadow
In this deafening heat

And I hear the trains coming
And the drunk man singing on the street
And the fan on the ceiling
Reeling
Me in to sleep

And I dream silent movies
Black and white memories I suppose
They’re the same old stories
But wearing in different clothes

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la

So where’s the girl running
With no shoes on her feet
Cos there’s no shade nor shadow
In this deafening heat

Eu vejo a menina correndo
Sem sapatos nos pés
Saltando sombra em sombra
Com este calor ensurdecedor

E eu ouço os trens chegando
E o bêbado cantando na rua
E o ventilador no teto
Cambaleando
Me para dormir

E eu sonho com filmes mudos
Memórias pretas e brancas eu suponho
São as mesmas histórias
Mas, vestidas com roupas diferentes

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la

Então, onde está a menina correndo
Sem sapatos nos pés
Porque não há sombra nem sombra
Com este calor ensurdecedor
