A Whiter Shade of Pale
Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said "there is no reason"
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
We skipped the light fandango
On a sautillé le léger fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
Fait des pirouettes à travers le plancher
I was feeling kinda seasick
J'avais un peu le mal de mer
The crowd called out for more
Le public criait, ils en demandaient plus
The room was humming harder
La salle vibrait de plus en plus fort
As the ceiling flew away
Pendant que le plafond s'envolait
When we called out for another drink
Quand on a demandé un autre verre
The waiter brought a tray
Le serveur a apporté un plateau
And so it was that later
Et puis, c'était comme ça que plus tard
As the miller told his tale
Pendant que le meunier racontait son histoire
That her face, at first just ghostly
Que son visage, au début tout simplement spectral
Turned a whiter shade of pale
A pris un teint même plus blanc de pâle
She said "there is no reason"
Elle a dit "il n'y a pas de raison"
And the truth is plain to see
Et on peut voir la vérité clairement
But I wandered through my playing cards
Mais je me suis promener parmi mon jeu de cartes
Would not let her be
Je ne la laissais pas tranquille
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Une de seize vierges vestales
Who were leaving for the coast
Qui partaient pour aller à la côte
And although my eyes were open
Et bien que mes yeux étaient ouverts
They might have just as well've been closed
Ils auraient tout à fait pu rester fermés
And so it was that later
Et puis, c'était comme ça que plus tard
As the miller told his tale
Pendant que le meunier racontait son histoire
That her face, at first just ghostly
Que son visage, au début tout simplement spectral
Turned a whiter shade of pale
A pris un teint même plus blanc de pâle
And so it was that later
Et puis, c'était comme ça que plus tard
We skipped the light fandango
Nós pulamos o fandango de luz
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
Demos piruetas no chão
I was feeling kinda seasick
Eu estava me sentindo meio enjoado
The crowd called out for more
A multidão pediu mais
The room was humming harder
A sala o barulho estava mais alto
As the ceiling flew away
Conforme o teto voou para longe
When we called out for another drink
Quando pedimos outra bebida
The waiter brought a tray
O garçom trouxe uma bandeja
And so it was that later
E foi assim que mais tarde
As the miller told his tale
Conforme o moleiro contou sua história
That her face, at first just ghostly
Que seu rosto, a princípio apenas fantasmagórico
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Se tornou um tom mais claro de pálido
She said "there is no reason"
Ela disse que "não há razão"
And the truth is plain to see
E a verdade é fácil de ver
But I wandered through my playing cards
Mas eu procurei pelas minhas cartas de baralho
Would not let her be
Não a deixaria ser
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Uma das dezesseis virgens vestais
Who were leaving for the coast
Que estavam partindo para o litoral

Talvez eles poderiam estar fechados
And so it was that later
E foi assim que mais tarde
As the miller told his tale
Conforme o moleiro contou sua história
That her face, at first just ghostly
Que seu rosto, a princípio apenas fantasmagórico
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Se tornou um tom mais claro de pálido
And so it was that later

La habitación estaba zumbando más fuerte
As the ceiling flew away
Mientras que el techo salió volando
When we called out for another drink
Cuando pedimos otro trago
The waiter brought a tray
El mesero trajo otra bandeja
And so it was that later
Y así fue después
As the miller told his tale
Mientras el minero contaba su historia
That her face, at first just ghostly
Que su cara, al principio solo fantasmal
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Se tornó en un tono más blanco pálido
She said "there is no reason"
Ella dijo "No hay ninguna razón"
And the truth is plain to see
Y la verdad es clara para ver
But I wandered through my playing cards
Pero vagué a través de mis cartas de juego
Would not let her be
No la dejaba ser

And so it was that later
Y así fue después
As the miller told his tale

And so it was that later
Und so war es später
As the miller told his tale

Turned a whiter shade of pale
Wurde ein blasserer Schatten von blass
She said "there is no reason"

La stanza ronzava più forte
As the ceiling flew away
Mentre il soffitto volava via
When we called out for another drink
Quando abbiamo chiesto un altro drink
The waiter brought a tray
Il cameriere ha portato un vassoio
And so it was that later
E così fu che più tardi
As the miller told his tale

Turned a whiter shade of pale
Diventò una tonalità più bianca di pallido
She said "there is no reason"
Lei disse "non c'è motivo"
