A História de Lily Braun [English translation]

Like in a novel

The man of my dreams

Appeared in a club

He was just another guy

But all of a sudden

His eyes sucked me in

Like a zoom

He ate me

With those eyes

Of eating photographs

I said "cheese"

And from close to close

I relaxed out of my pose

Until I smiled, happy

And he came back

He offered me a drink

He called me his blue angel

My sight

Since then, got blurry

Like in the cinema

Sometimes he'd send me

A rose and a poem

Spotlight

I, like an eggyolk

Shook all over

To the blues

He had a lot of scotch

He said my body

Was his alone that night

I said "please"

Covering my low-cut shirt with a scarf

I went for it with my face

Blushed and feverish

And he came back

In my last show

With ten poems and a bouquet

I said goodbye

I'm going with my crowd

In a tour

As one loves his wife

He said that now

He only loved me as his wife

Not as a star

He crumpled my roses

He burned my pictures

He kissed me at the church altar

Never again novel

Never again cinema

Never again drink in the club

Never again "cheese"

Never a shabby love hotel

A rose, never

Never happy again

Never again novel

Never again cinema

Never again a drink in the club

Never again "cheese"

Never a shabby love hotel

A rose, never

Never happy again
