Traducción de la letra de la canción Wonderful Disguise - Mike Scott

Wonderful Disguise (original)

Through the curtains the daylight crept
I looked at my lover as she slept
And as I watched her face I wept…
It was a wonderful disguise
It was a wonderful disguise
As I was driving into town
The guy in the next car turned around
And as I met his gaze I found
It was a wonderful disguise
It was a wonderful disguise
Outside the museum I was addressed
By a blind man in his pants and vest
I was most impressed
It was a wonderful disguise
It was a wonderful disguise
Fat woman, standing in a queue
Her hat, shoes, coat and gloves were blue
And when she turned around I knew
It was a wonderful disguise
It was a wonderful disguise
I came home and halfway up the stair
A drunk was tearing out his hair
You should have heard him scream and swear
It was a wonderful disguise
It was a wonderful disguise
The President was on the News at Ten
Looking like he could use a friend
And then I looked again
It was a wonderful disguise
It was a wonderful disguise
Stood in front of the mirror all alone
Examined my features skin and bone
Looked at this face I’ve always known
It was a wonderful disguise
It was a wonderful disguise

(traducción)

A través de las cortinas la luz del día se deslizó
Miré a mi amante mientras dormía
Y mientras miraba su rostro, lloré...
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Mientras conducía hacia la ciudad
El tipo en el auto de al lado se dio la vuelta.
Y cuando me encontré con su mirada, encontré
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Fuera del museo me dirigieron
Por un ciego en sus pantalones y chaleco
me impresionó mucho
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Mujer gorda, de pie en una cola
Su sombrero, zapatos, abrigo y guantes eran azules.
Y cuando se dio la vuelta supe
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Era un disfraz maravilloso
llegué a casa y a la mitad de la escalera
Un borracho se estaba arrancando el pelo
Deberías haberlo oído gritar y maldecir
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Era un disfraz maravilloso
El presidente estuvo en las noticias a las diez
Parece que le vendría bien un amigo
Y luego volví a mirar
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Estaba parado frente al espejo solo
Examiné mis rasgos piel y hueso
Miré esta cara que siempre he conocido
Era un disfraz maravilloso
Era un disfraz maravilloso
