Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
You sipped camparis with David and Peter
At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
'You wouldn't think that I was seventy'
And he'd say,'no, you couldn't be!'
You had to marry someone very very rich
So that you might be kept in the style to which
You had all of your life been accustomed to
But that the socialists had taxed away from you
You gave him children, a girl and a boy
To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
And when the time came they were sent away
Well that was simply what you did in those days
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
'You wouldn't think that I was sixty three'
And he'd say,'no, you couldn't be!
Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
Your daughter never finished her finishing school
Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
And so you come here to escape your little flat
Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you all alone and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
'You wouldn't think that I was fifty three'
And he'd say,'no, you couldn't be!
De vuelta en el día en que había sido parte de la alta sociedad
Te holidayed con los reyes, cenó con estrellitas
De Londres a Nueva York, Cap Ferrat a Capri
En el perfume de Chanel y vestidos de Givenchy
Usted bebió camparis con David y Peter
En los partidos de Noel por el lago de Ginebra
Escalar las alturas de vértigo de la alta sociedad
Armado sólo con un talonario de cheques-y un árbol genealógico
Se persiguió el sol alrededor de la Costa Azul
Hasta que la luz de la juventud se oscureció
Y te fuiste por tu cuenta y en la sombra
Una señora Inglés de una cierta edad
Y si un joven agradable que usted compra una bebida
Usted diría que con un guiño de complicidad
"Usted no pensaría que yo era setenta '
Y me decía: 'no, no puede ser! "
Usted tuvo que casarse con alguien muy, muy ricos
Así que usted puede mantenerse en el estilo al que
Será toda su vida ha acostumbrado a
Pero que los socialistas habían impuesto lejos de ti
Usted le dio hijos, una niña y un niño
Para mantener la cordura a una niñera fue empleado
Y cuando llegó el momento que fueron despedidos
Bueno, eso fue simplemente lo que usted hizo en
