There was a girl who thought the world
Was filled with gold and pearls
She smiled with the bright eyes
Of those who trust in life
She had been taught she should believe
In all that's good and fair
And and the end of each day
She sat contented in her chair
And she sang; lalalalalala
He was the type who thought he had a right
To everything he liked
He had an easy air, was confident
And pleasing to the eye
They met by chance at a caf©
He thought that she looked fine
And as they kissed she felt the bliss
Of love for the first time
And she sang; lalalalalala
She gave herself without reserve,
With eagerness and joy
He took her with indifference
Then cast her off like a broken toy
There was a girl who thought the world
Was filled with gold and pearls
She smiled with hazy eyes
And lips that barely curled
She had been taught she should believe
And so her life went on
And through the years she still could hear
The echo of her song
Lalalalalala
Havia uma menina que achava que o mundo
Estava cheio de ouro e pérolas
Ela sorriu com os olhos brilhantes
De quem confia na vida
Ela tinha sido ensinada que ela devia acreditar
Em tudo o que é bom e justo
E no fim de cada dia
Ela sentava-se contente na cadeira
E ela cantou; lalalalalala
Ele era do tipo que achava que ele tinha o direito
De ter tudo o que gostava
Ele tinha um ar fácil, estava confiante
E agradável aos olhos
Eles se conheceram por acaso em um café
Ele pensou que ela parecia bem
E como eles se beijaram, ela sentiu o êxtase
De amor pela primeira vez
E ela cantou; lalalalalala
Ela se entregou sem reservas,
Com entusiasmo e alegria
Ele tomou-a com indiferença
Em seguida, lançou-la como um brinquedo quebrado
Havia uma menina que achava que o mundo
Estava cheio de ouro e pérolas
Ela sorriu com os olhos enevoados
E lábios que mal enrolados
Ela tinha sido ensinada que ela deveria acreditar
E assim sua vida prosseguiu
E através dos anos, ela ainda podia ouvir
O eco de sua canção
Lalalalalala
