I know little billy from the small time town I know little billy from the small time town Eu conhe¸o o pequeno Billy da cidadezinha do tempo Ma and pa meant well but they just weren't around Ma and pa meant well but they just weren't around Mamãe e Papai tiveram boas intenções, mas eles simplesmente não estiveram por perto But he would learn what little they had taught But he would learn what little they had taught Mas ele aprenderia o pouco que eles teriam ensinado They told him, heaven is hard but hell is not They told him, heaven is hard but hell is not Eles disseram a Billy: "O Céu é cruel, mas o Inferno não" He remembers papa's words before he died He remembers papa's words before he died Ele lembra das palavras do Papai antes de ele morrer He said, word hard son, you must change the tide He said, word hard son, you must change the tide Ele disse: "Trabalhe duro, filho, você tem de mudar o curso da maré Before our people have liberation, you can never rest Before our people have liberation, you can never rest Antes que o nosso povo tenha liberdade, você não deve nunca descansar On your shoulders, lies our future boy, so do your best On your shoulders, lies our future boy, so do your best Nos seus ombros, descansa nosso futuro garoto, então faça o seu melhor Do more than your best Do more than your best Faça mais que o seu melhor" Never forgot the burden of his father's words Never forgot the burden of his father's words Nunca esqueci do peso das palavras do seu pai He lost his own life and lived the world's He lost his own life and lived the world's Ele perdeu a sua própria vida e viveu a vida do mundo No one told billy theres somethings one man just can't do No one told billy theres somethings one man just can't do Ninguém disse ao Billy que existem coisas que um homem apenas não pode e a fazer Takes time to forgive and equality to take more before it's through Takes time to forgive and equality to take more before it's through Leva tempo para perdoar e igualmente para ter mais tempo antes de superar Just takes time Just takes time Apenas leva tempo But still billy went down to the big time town But still billy went down to the big time town Mas ainda Billy foi para a grande cidade do tempo Hoping to find some justice there, Hoping to find some justice there, Esperando encontrar alguma justiça lá But god how it all seems cynical through the eyes of despair But god how it all seems cynical through the eyes of despair Mas, Deus, como tudo isso parece cínico através dos olhos do desespero He no longer saw in color, he only saw black and white He no longer saw in color, he only saw black and white Ele não muito enxergou as coisas coloridas, apenas viu tudo preto e branco There were never people behind thses faces There were never people behind thses faces Nunca existiram pessoas atrás daqueles rostos Until he realized one man can't win Until he realized one man can't win Até que ele compreendesse que um homem não pode vencer Can't win this fight Can't win this fight Não pode vencer esta luta So billy went back to small time town So billy went back to small time town Então Billy voltou para a cidadezinha do tempo He got a life and he settled down He got a life and he settled down Construiu uma vida e se adaptou He teaches children who never really thought He teaches children who never really thought Ele ensina crianças que nunca realmente pensaram He told them, heaven is hard and hell is He told them, heaven is hard and hell is Ele diz a elas: "O Céu é cruel e o Inferno Heaven is hard and hell is Heaven is hard and hell is O Céu é cruel e o Inferno Hell is not worth fighting for. Hell is not worth fighting for. O Inferno não merece que lutem por ele"
