Em 1999, Sting, lançou, pela Warner Music, o disco Brand New Day. Com esse álbum, o artista ganhou dois Grammy Award, sendo um na categoria de Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, por conta da faixa-título, e outro na categoria Best Pop Vocal Album. No lançamento original, o disco conta com as participações de James Taylor, David Hartley e Sté. Em uma edição especial para o mercado latino-americano, mais precisamente para o Brasil e o México, o disco contou com uma regravação da canção Perfect Love ... Gone Wrong, com a inserção de um rap em português, cantado por Zélia Duncan, que integrava o elenco brasileiro da Warner Music, na época.
Seguem o vídeo com a gravação de Zélia e a letra original da canção:
Perfect love ... Gone wrong
(Sting)
I've had a question that's been preying on my mind for some time
I won't be wagging my tail for one good reason
It has to be a crime
This doghouse never was the place for me,
Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree
I was so happy, just the two of us
Until this alpha male
Turned up in the January sale
He won't love you
Like I love you,
It won't be long now before that puppy goes astray
And what I like about this guy the most?
He'd be my favorite lamppost
Devil take the hindmost
Je sais que c'est dur, mais il faut se faire au changement, tu vois
J'ai négligé le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi.
Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais ça s'attenuera
Car c'est d'un homme plus (que) d'un chien dont j'ai besoin près de moi
Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme ça
N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'éloigner de moi
Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que ça
Désormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi
It's a shaggy kind of story
Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?
But when the cat's away the mouse will play,
I wouldn't dish around here
There's something fishy round here
I howl all night and I sleep all day
Take more than biscuit baby to chase these blues away
I've got a long enough leash
I could almost hang myself
It's a dog's life loving you baby
When you love someone else
Now he's moved my basket
I'd like to put him in a casket
I'll wear my best collar to his funeral
Ta mauvaise foi, j'aimerais bien que ça s'arrête
Me séparer de toi, aujourd'hui ça trotte dans ma tête
Moi non, j'en peux plus, tu n'es qu'un chien, c'est trop bête
La situation m'avait pourtant l'air d'être des plus nettes
C'est clair, que je l'aime c'est un fait, ton égoïsme m'inquiète
Après toutes ces soirées passées seul en tête à tête
Chaque chose a une fin, et c'est la fin de la fête
Pour toi, car bientôt il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi.
To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong
You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy
I'd always be your boy
I'd be your faithful companion
And I would follow you through every thick and thin
Don't need nobody else
And we don't need him
