The scattered pages of a book by the sea The scattered pages of a book by the sea As páginas espalhadas de um livro pelo mar Held by the sand, washed by the waves Held by the sand, washed by the waves Preso pela areia, banhado pelas ondas A shadow forms cast by a cloud, A shadow forms cast by a cloud, Uma sombra se forma moldada por uma nuvem Skimming by as eyes of the past, but the rising tide Skimming by as eyes of the past, but the rising tide Deslizando se como olhos do passado, mas a maré nascente Absorbs them effortlessly claiming. Absorbs them effortlessly claiming. Absorve-os invocando facilmente They told of one who tired of all singing, They told of one who tired of all singing, Falam sobre alguém que se cansou de tudo cantando "Praise him, praise him." "Praise him, praise him." "Glorifique-o, glorifique-o". "We heed not flatterers," he cried, "We heed not flatterers," he cried, "Não damos atenção a bajuladores", ele gritou "By our command, waters retreat, "By our command, waters retreat, "Ao nosso comando, as águas recuam Show my power, halt at my feet," Show my power, halt at my feet," Demonstram meu poder, param aos meus pés" But the cause was lost, But the cause was lost, Mas a causa foi perdida Now cold winds blow. Now cold winds blow. Agora os ventos frios sopram. For from the north overcast ranks advance For from the north overcast ranks advance Bem longe ao norte camadas nubladas avançam Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn. Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn. Medo da tempestade acusando com fúria e desdém The waves surround the sinking throne The waves surround the sinking throne As ondas cercam o trono em naufrágio Singing "Crown him, crown him," Singing "Crown him, crown him," Cantando "coroe-o, coroe-o" "Those who love our majesty show themselves!" "Those who love our majesty show themselves!" "Aqueles que amam vossa majestade apresentem-se!" All bent their knees. All bent their knees. Todos se curvam de joelhos. But he forced a smile even though But he forced a smile even though Mas ele força um sorriso apesar de tudo His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell (where they fell). His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell (where they fell). Suas esperanças foram lançadas, onde os sacrifícios são derrubados. "Nothing can my peace destroy as long as none smile." "Nothing can my peace destroy as long as none smile." "Nada pode a minha paz destruir, contanto que ninguém sorria". More opened ears and opened eyes, More opened ears and opened eyes, Ouvidos e olhos mais abertos And soon they dared to laugh. And soon they dared to laugh. E em breve eles serão desafiados a rir. See a little man with his face turning red See a little man with his face turning red Veja um homenzinho com seu rosto ficando vermelho Though his story's often told you can tell he's dead. Though his story's often told you can tell he's dead. Apesar de sua história ser conhecida, você pode dizer que ele está morto.
