A CAT IN THE DARKNESS – Roberto Carlos ©

Translation by Ben Bustillo – Prohibited its reproduction

 

When I was a boy and happy,

Playing wars day and night,

Jumping over a fence to see you, and that is how in your eyes something new I found.

The roses would say you were mine,

And a cat would always be with me,

Since you went away I don’t know why the window seems so big without your love.

The cat that is in our sky,

Will not come back home if you are not there,

You know my love, in this pretty night I sense you are in one of those stars.

The cat that is blue and sad,

Never forgets that you were mine,

I hope you know of my sadness now

Because I have so many tears in my eyes.

My dearest beloved, my life,

Reflection of a smiling moon,

If to love is a sin, I plead guilty for loving you,

In the end, I don’t know what life is all about.

The cat  that lives in our sky,

Will not come back home if you are not there,

You know my love, in this pretty night I sense you are in one of those stars.

The cat that lives in the sky and is blue and sad,

Never forgets that you were mine,

But you will always be in my sight,

A clear tear on a foggy spring.

The cat that is in the darkness knows that there is one tear in my soul.

The cat that lives in the sky and is blue and sad,

Never forgets that you were mine,

But you will always be in my sight,

A clear tear on a foggy spring.

The cat that is in the darkness knows that there is one tear in my soul, one tear in my soul.
