Nuvens no meu café

A música é do repertório de Carly Simon. Claro, a expressão tem sentido figurado, e as nuvens devem ser de leite.

Um exemplo da expressão em português:

Being a Soap Bubble
... Caçar joaninhas para colocá-las na estante. No instante seguinte casar vestida de azul. Encontrar nuvens no meu café. E ter fé até estourar. ...

nuvens no meu café

Carly Simon


You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
and that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all of the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....
