He was young and he rode along the river He was young and he rode along the river Ele era jovem e ele montou ao longo do rio Raven-haired Raven-haired De cabelos negros The fairest thing to grace those steady banks The fairest thing to grace those steady banks A coisa mais bela para agraciar os bancos estáveis In ages come and lost for-ever In ages come and lost for-ever Em épocas vir e perdido para sempre And power laid upon him And power laid upon him E o poder cair sobre ele Like a thousand secrets she would never know Like a thousand secrets she would never know Como mil segredos que ela nunca saberia And so she spoke And so she spoke E assim ela falou In the lapping of the land In the lapping of the land Na lapidação da terra Golden-tongued Golden-tongued Golden-língua Her whispers fickle jewels along the sand Her whispers fickle jewels along the sand Seus sussurros jóias inconstante ao longo da areia Ephemeral and softly spoken Ephemeral and softly spoken Efêmero e fala mansa But he was wiser than his years But he was wiser than his years Mas ele era mais sábio do que seus anos And shed his hooves to meet her there And shed his hooves to meet her there E derramou seus cascos para encontrá-la lá Among the reeds where earth recedes Among the reeds where earth recedes Entre os juncos onde a terra retrocede There he stood. There he stood. Lá estava ele.
