King Kong (Tom Waits) They shot him down Eles o mataram They shot him down Eles o mataram They thought he was a monster Eles pensaram que ele era um monstro But he was the King Mas ele era o Rei
Eles foram em sua ilha They came to his island E trouxeram aquela mulher com eles And they brought her with them Eles queriam tirar sua foto They wanted to get his picture Mas ficaram surpresos com o seu enorme tamanho But they were surprised by his enormous size
e quando ele viu a mulher And when he saw the woman Ele pegou-a sem hesitar He took her without question porque afinal de contas Because after all ele era o Rei He was the King
E ele amou a mulher And he loved the woman Ele amava sua aparência He loved the way she looked E ela não parava de gritar And she wouldn't stop screaming
Mas ele amava a mulher But he loved the woman E lutou com um Tiranossauro Rex And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex E foi uma batalha sangrenta And it was a bloody battle Mas ele a lutou por sua mulher But he fought it for his woman
E ele escalou a montanha And he climbed up a mountain E ele olhou em volta And he looked around Um tipo de floresta Some kind of forest com todos aqueles dinossauros With all these dinosaurs
E ele despiu a mulher And he stripped his woman Deixou ela sem nada He stripped her bare mas havia um pterodáctilo But there was a pterodactyl Ali! There!
E então um herói And then a hero veio e levou sua mulher Came and took his woman E eles caíram da montanha And they fell off the mountain para a água Into some water
E depois And then later Ele procurou por sua mulher He came looking for his woman Mas eles estavam esperando But they were waiting E depois jogaram uma bomba And they threw a bomb
E amarraram ele And they tied him E o levaram pelo oceano And took him across the ocean E eles acorrentaram ele And they chained him E colocaram ele em um show And put him in the show
E quando ele viu sua mulher And when he saw his woman Ele perdeu o controle He broke loose E todos fugiram aterrorizados And everyone fled in terror E ele estava procurando por ela And he was looking for her
Ele pegou um trem And he overtook a train e ele estava procurou na rua And he was looking in the street E a encontrou no apartamento dela And then he found her in her apartment
E ele subiu na torre do Empire State And he climbed up the Empire State building Era como um símbolo fálico It was like a phallic symbol E ele levou sua mulher And he took his woman para o topo daquele templo elevado To the top of that towering temple
E ele escalou e olhou em volta And he climbed up and looked around Uma cidade e tanto Some kind of city com todos aqueles arranha-céus With all those skyscrapers e todos os carros And all the cars
Só ele e sua mulher escândalosa Just him and his screaming woman E finalmente estavam à sós And they were finally alone Ele amava a sua mulher He loved his woman Você podia ver em seus olhos You could see it in his eyes Seus grandes olhos pretos His great big eyes
Ele amava sua mulher He loved his woman Desde o momento em que a viu From the moment that he saw her Ele estava sufocado por dentro He was all choked up inside
Mas quando os aviões chegaram But when the airplanes came Viu que estava próximo da morte He was soon to die mas ele se ergueu o suficiente para colocá-la no chão But he hung on long enough to set his woman down e se assegurou de que ela estivesse segura And make sure that she was safe
E quando as balas o perfuraram And as the bullets pierced Ele olhou para ela tão sinceramente He looked at her so sincere antes de cair Before he fell porque ele amava sua mulher Because he loved his woman
E eles o mataram And they shot him down Eles pensaram que ele era um monstro They thought he was a monster Mas ele era o Rei But he was the King
Quem matou o macaco Who killed the monkey Já que a bela matou a fera? 'Twas beauty that killed the beast
E Willis O'Brien morreu And Willis O'Brien died Uma morte trágica A tragic death Não foi muito There wasn't much o que ele deixou para trás That he had left
E Ray Harryhausen disse And Ray Harryhousen said que foi quando Willis morreu That when Willis died que o King morreu de verdade That's when the King was really dead
Eles o mataram They shot him down Eles o mataram They shot him down Eles pensaram que ele era um monstro They thought he was a monster Mas ele era o Rei But he was the King
