The river is deep and the road is long, The river is deep and the road is long, O rio é profundo ea estrada é longa, Daylight comes and i want to go home. Daylight comes and i want to go home. Luz do dia vem e eu quero ir para casa. Awoke this morning Awoke this morning Acordei esta manhã To find my people's tongues were tied To find my people's tongues were tied Para encontrar línguas do meu povo foram amarrados And in my dreams And in my dreams E nos meus sonhos They were given books to poison their minds. They were given books to poison their minds. Eles receberam livros para envenenar suas mentes. The river is deep and the mountain high, The river is deep and the mountain high, O rio é profundo e de alta montanha, How long before the other side. How long before the other side. Quanto tempo antes do outro lado. We are their mortar, We are their mortar, Estamos a sua argamassa, Their building bricks and their clay. Their building bricks and their clay. Seus tijolos de construção e sua argila. Their gold teeth mirror Their gold teeth mirror Seus dentes de ouro espelho Both our joys and our pain. Both our joys and our pain. Ambas as nossas alegrias e nossas dores. The river is deep and the ocean wide, The river is deep and the ocean wide, O rio é profundo ea grande oceano, Who will teach us how to read the signs. Who will teach us how to read the signs. Quem vai nos ensinar a ler os sinais. The earth is our mother The earth is our mother A terra é nossa mãe She taught us to embrace the light, She taught us to embrace the light, Ela ensinou-nos a abraçar a luz, Now the lord is master Now the lord is master Agora o senhor é mestre She suffers an eternal night. She suffers an eternal night. Ela sofre uma noite eterna. You blocked up my ears, You blocked up my ears, Você bloqueado até meus ouvidos, You plucked out my eyes, You plucked out my eyes, Você arrancado meus olhos, You cut out my tongue, You cut out my tongue, Você cortar minha língua, You fed me with lies, You fed me with lies, Você me alimentou com mentiras, Oh lord. Oh lord. Oh senhor.
