Traducción y Lyrics de Lush Life. Canción que interpreta Lady Gaga en Cheek To Cheek, el álbum de jazz que comparte con Tony Bennett.
ORIGINAL
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there you could see where
They'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clocktails
Then you came along with your siren's song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your pointed smile
Was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah, yes, I was wrong
Again I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so assured
Now life is awful again
And the thoughtful of heart
Could only be a bore
A week in Paris will ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you I will
And yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush
Life in some small dive
And there I'll be
While I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there you could see where
They'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clocktails
Then you came along with your siren's song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your pointed smile
Was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah, yes, I was wrong
Again I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so assured
Now life is awful again
And the thoughtful of heart
Could only be a bore
A week in Paris will ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you I will
And yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush
Life in some small dive
And there I'll be
While I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too
TRADUCCIÓN
Solía visitar todos los locales de entretenimiento
Aquellos en lo que no importa lo que pase
Donde uno se relaja en el eje de la rueda de la vida
Para sentir la vida desde el jazz y los cócteles
Las mujeres que conocí tenían tristes y deprimentes caras grises
Con apariencia distinguida
Que acostumbraban a dejarse ver allí
Habían sido arrastradas
A lo largo de los días
Por muchos cuentos de "las doce en punto"
Entonces viniste con tus cánticos de sirena
Para tentarme a la locura
Pensé por un instante que tu mordaz sonrisa
Estaba teñida de tristeza
Por un gran amor hacia mí
Oh, si, me equivoqué
Me equivoqué otra vez
La vida es de nuevo solitaria
Y solo el año pasado
Todo parecía tan asegurado
Ahora la vida es horrible otra vez
Y la pesadez del corazón
Solo puede ser un fastidio
Una semana en París podría curar el picor
Lo único que me importa es sonreír a pesar de ello
Te olvidaré, lo haré
Aunque todavía estés
Ardiendo dentro de mi cerebro
El amor es sensible
Ahogando a los que se esfuerzan
Viviré una vida exuberante
En algún pequeño antro
Y allí estaré
Mientras me pudro con el resto
cuyas vidas también son solitarias
