Sex symbols die first

some of my hair is falling already
the remaining ones are getting white
and my dreams won’t die
won’t grow old
won’t be sold
or spent
or lost

my dreams won’t be divorced from me

and it feels nice to grow old
i guess
if you didn’t want to be
Brigitte Bardot

do you really need to get old yourself
before you think about things?
you could learn by watching, if you’re aware

go find yourself a dream
because even if you’re Brigitte Bardot
even if you can make it – this stupid television fake plastic dream
it always happens as follows:



Tom Zé - Brigitte Bardot

A Brigitte Bardot está ficando velha,
envelheceu antes dos nossos sonhos.
Coitada da Brigitte Bardot,
que era uma moça bonita,
mas ela mesma não podia ser um sonho
para nunca envelhecer.
A Brigitte Bardot está se desmanchando
e os nossos sonhos querem pedir divórcio.
Pelo mundo inteiro
milhões e milhões de sonhos
querem também pedir divórcio
e a Brigitte Bardot agora
está ficando triste e sozinha.
Será que algum rapaz de vinte anos
vai telefonar
na hora exata em que ela estiver
com vontade de se suicidar?
Será que algum rapaz de vinte anos
vai telefonar
na hora exata em que ela estiver
com vontade de se suicidar?
Quando a gente era pequeno,
pensava que quando crescesse
ia ser namorado da Brigitte Bardot,
mas a Brigitte Bardot
está ficando triste e sozinha.
A Brigitte Bardot agora
está ficando velha, triste e sozinha.
Velha e sozinha.
Sozinha

Brigitte Bardot is getting old
she got old before our dreams
What a pity about Brigitte Bardot
who was a beautiful lady
but she couldn’t be a dream herself
so she would never get old
Brigitte Bardot is falling apart
and our dreams want to ask for divorce
All over the world
millions and millions of dreams
also want to ask for divorce
and Brigitte Bardot now
is getting sad and lonely
Will some twenty years old lad
phone her
at the exact moment she
feels like committing suicide?
Will some twenty years old lad
phone her
at the exact moment she
feels like committing suicide?

When we were kids
we thought when we grew up
we’d be Brigitte Bardot’s boyfriend
but Brigitte Bardot
is getting sad and lonely
Brigitte Bardot now
is getting old, sad and lonely
old and lonely
lonely
