Bruce Springsteen – Brilliant Disguise

I hold you in my arms
as the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
just as you turn away
I saw you last night
out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind
To know just what I’ve got in this new thing I’ve found
So tell me what I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise

I heard somebody call your name
from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
underneath your pillow
Well I’ve tried so hard baby
but I just can’t see
What a woman like you
is doing with me
So tell me who I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby
struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
when out go the lights
I’m just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it’s you I don’t trust
’cause I damn sure don’t trust myself

Now you play the loving woman
I’ll play the faithful man
But just don’t look too close
into the palm of my hand
We stood at the altar
the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me
you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby
or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold
I’m lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he’s sure of

Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise

Prevod pesme

Brilijantna maska

U naručju te držim
dok bend svira
Šta znače te reči prošaptane, malena
dok okrećeš leđa
Sinoć sam te video
na kraju grada
Voleo bih da ti čitam misli
Da znam tačno na čemu sam u ovom svom novom otkriću
Zato, reci mi šta to vidim
kad te pogledam u oči
Da li si to ti, malena
ili samo brilijantna maska

Čuo sam kako te neko doziva
baš ispod naše vrbe
Video sam nešto ušuškano u sramotu
ispod tvog jastuka
Ma, trudio sam se, jako, malena
ali prosto ne mogu da shvatim
šta jedna žena kao ti
radi sa mnom
Zato, reci mi koga vidim
kad te pogledam u oči
Da li si to ti, malena
ili samo brilijantna maska

Vidi me sad malena
Borim se da sve sredim
a onda se sve raspadne
Kad svetla se ugase
Ja sam samo jedan usamljeni hodočasnik
Idem ovim svetom u bogatstvu
Hoću da znam da li si ti ta kojoj ne verujem
jer samom sebi svakako ne verujem

Sad izigravaš dobru ženu
ja ću igrati vernog muškarca
Ali ne gledaj izbliza
u moj dlan
Stajali smo na oltaru
ciganka se klela da je naša budućnost prava
Ali dođoše sitni sati*
Ma, možda je ciganka lagala
Zato, kada me gledaš
bolje dobro pogledaj i dvaput razmisli
Da li sam to ja malena
ili samo brilijantna maska

Večeras je naš krevet hladan
Izgubljen sam u mraku naše ljubavi
Gospode, imaj milosti za čoveka
Koji sumnja i u ono u šta je siguran
