Life On Mars?
David Bowie
It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lenin's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's a God-awful small affair
Es ist eine gottverdammt kleine Angelegenheit
To the girl with the mousy hair
Für das Mädchen mit dem Maus-braunen Haar
But her mummy is yelling "No"
Doch ihre Mutter schreit, "Nein"
And her daddy has told her to go
Und ihr Vater sagt ihr sie soll gehen
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Doch ihr Freund ist nirgends zu sehen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
Jetzt läuft sie durch ihren versunkenen Traum
To the seat with the clearest view
Zum Platz mit der besten Aussicht
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Und sie hängt am silbernen Bildschirm
But the film is a saddening bore
Doch der Film ist trist und langweilig
For she's lived it ten times or more
Denn sie hat ihn zehn- oder mehrfach erlebt
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Sie könnte in die Augen dieser Idioten spucken
As they ask her to focus on
Während sie ihr sagen sie soll sich konzentrieren
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Matrosen kämpfen in der Tanzhalle
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Oh man, schau dir diese Neandertaler an
It's the freakiest show
Es ist eine Freakshow
Take a look at the lawman
Schau wie der Gesetzeshüter
Beating up the wrong guy
Den Falschen verprügelt
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
Oh man, ich frage mich, ob er jemals herausfinden wird
He's in the best selling show
Das er in der meistverkauften Show auftritt
Is there life on Mars?
Gibt es Leben auf dem Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
Es steht auf Amerikas gequälter Stirn geschrieben
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Das Mickey Mouse eine Kuh gezüchtet hat
Now the workers have struck for fame
Jetzt rebellieren die Arbeit für Ruhm
'Cause Lenin's on sale again
Denn Lennon ist wieder im Verkauf
See the mice in their million hordes
Sieh dir die Horden von Mäusen an
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Von Ibiza zu den Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
Die Regierung Britanniens ist außer Kontrolle
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
In den Augen meiner Mutter, meines Hundes und den Clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Doch der Film ist trist und langweilig
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Denn ich habe ihn zehnfach oder mehrfach geschrieben
It's about to be writ again
Er wird bald wieder geschrieben
As I ask you to focus on
Während ich dich bitte darauf zu konzentrieren
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Matrosen kämpfen in der Tanzhalle
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Oh man, schau dir diese Neandertaler an
It's the freakiest show
Es ist eine Freakshow
Take a look at the lawman
Schau wie der Gesetzeshüter
Beating up the wrong guy
Den Falschen verprügelt
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
Oh man, ich frage mich, ob er jemals herausfinden wird
He's in the best selling show
Das er in der meistverkauften Show auftritt
Is there life on Mars?
Gibt es Leben auf dem Mars?
It's a God-awful small affair
É um assunto terrível
To the girl with the mousy hair
Para a garota do cabelo castanho
But her mummy is yelling "No"
Mas a mãe dela está gritando "não"
And her daddy has told her to go
E o pai dela lhe disse para ir embora
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Mas sua amiga sumiu
Now she walks through her sunken dream
Agora ela caminha pelo seu sonho afundado
To the seat with the clearest view
Até o assento com a melhor vista
And she's hooked to the silver screen
E ela fica vidrada na tela do cinema
But the film is a saddening bore
Mas o filme é tristemente chato
For she's lived it ten times or more
Pois ela o viveu dez vezes ou mais
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Ela poderia cuspir nos olhos dos tolos
As they ask her to focus on
Quando pedissem para ela prestar atenção
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Nos marinheiros lutando no salão de dança
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Caramba, olha só esses trogloditas
It's the freakiest show
É o programa mais bizarro de todos
Take a look at the lawman
Olhe aquele homem da lei
Beating up the wrong guy
Batendo no cara errado
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
Caramba, será que algum dia ele vai saber
He's in the best selling show
Que está no programa de maior sucesso
Is there life on Mars?
Existe vida em Marte?
It's on America's tortured brow
É no semblante atormentado dos Estados Unidos
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Que o Mickey Mouse cresceu e se vendeu
Now the workers have struck for fame
Agora os trabalhadores entraram em greve por fama
'Cause Lenin's on sale again
Porque Lennon está à venda novamente
See the mice in their million hordes
Veja as milhões de hordas de ratos
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
De Ibiza até Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
O "Rule, Britannia" está fora de alcance
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Para minha mãe, meu cachorro e palhaços
But the film is a saddening bore
Mas o filme é tristemente chato
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Porque eu o escrevi dez vezes ou mais
It's about to be writ again
Está prestes a ser escrito novamente
As I ask you to focus on
E eu lhes peço para prestar atenção
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Nos marinheiros lutando no salão de dança
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Caramba, olha só esses trogloditas
It's the freakiest show
É o programa mais bizarro de todos
Take a look at the lawman
Olhe aquele homem da lei
Beating up the wrong guy

Existe vida em Marte?
It's a God-awful small affair
Es un asunto terriblemente insignificante
To the girl with the mousy hair
Para la chica de pelo castaño
But her mummy is yelling "No"
Pero su mamá está gritando "no"
And her daddy has told her to go
Y su papá le ha dicho que se vaya
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Pero a su amigo no se lo ve por ningún lado
Now she walks through her sunken dream
Ahora ella camina por su sueño hundido
To the seat with the clearest view
Hasta el asiento con la vista más clara
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Y está enganchada a la pantalla del cine
But the film is a saddening bore
Pero la película es un plomo entristecedor
For she's lived it ten times or more
Porque ella lo ha vivido diez veces o más
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Podría escupir a los ojos de los tontos
As they ask her to focus on
Mientras le dicen que se concentre
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Marineros bailan en el salón de baile
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Hombre, mira a esos cavernícolas
It's the freakiest show
Es el espectáculo más estrafalario
Take a look at the lawman
Echa un vistazo al policía
Beating up the wrong guy
Dándole una paliza al tipo equivocado
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
Hombre, me pregunto si alguna vez sabrá
He's in the best selling show
Que está en el espectáculo más taquillero
Is there life on Mars?
¿Hay vida en Marte?
It's on America's tortured brow
Está en la cumbre torturada de Estados Unidos
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Donde Mickey Mouse ha criado una vaca
Now the workers have struck for fame
Ahora los trabajadores han hecho huelga por la fama
'Cause Lenin's on sale again

From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads

Rule Britannia is out of bounds
Dominar Brittania está prohibido
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Para mi madre, mi perro y los payasos
