Sparrow, perch and play songs of long face Sparrow, perch and play songs of long face Pardal, empolere-se e cante canções sobre carinha triste Burro, buck and bray songs of long face! Burro, buck and bray songs of long face! Burro, dê um pinote e zurre canções sobre carinha triste! Sing: I will swallow your sadness and eat your cold clay Sing: I will swallow your sadness and eat your cold clay Cante: Eu vou engolir sua tristeza e comer sua argila fria Just to lift your long face Just to lift your long face Só para desmanchar sua carinha triste And though it may be madness, I will take to the grave And though it may be madness, I will take to the grave E embora possa ser loucura, eu vou levar para o túmulo Your precious longface Your precious longface Sua preciosa carinha triste And though our bones they may break, and our souls separate And though our bones they may break, and our souls separate E embora nossos ossos possam se quebrar, e nossas almas se separar Why the long face? Why the long face? Por que a carinha triste? And though our bodies recoil from the grip of the soil And though our bodies recoil from the grip of the soil E embora nossos corpos recuem pelo aperto do solo Why the long face? Why the long face? Por que a carinha triste? In the trough of the waves In the trough of the waves Na cava das ondas Which are pawing like dogs Which are pawing like dogs Que estão a dar patadas feito cães Pitch we, pale-faced and grave Pitch we, pale-faced and grave Arremessamo-nos nós, com as caras pálidas e graves As I write in my log As I write in my log Enquanto escrevo no meu diário Then I hear a noise from the hull Then I hear a noise from the hull Então eu ouço um barulho vindo do casco Seven days out to sea Seven days out to sea Sete dias à deriva no mar And it is the damnable bell! And it is the damnable bell! E é o maldito sino! And it tolls - well, I believe, that it tolls - for me! And it tolls - well, I believe, that it tolls - for me! E ele dobra - bem, eu acredito que ele dobre - por mim! It tolls for me! It tolls for me! Ele dobra por mim! Though my wrists and my waist seemed so easy to break Though my wrists and my waist seemed so easy to break Embora meus pulsos e meu quadril parecessem fáceis de quebrar Still, my dear, I would have walked you to the very edge of the water Still, my dear, I would have walked you to the very edge of the water Ainda assim, minha querida, eu caminharia contigo até a borda da água And they will recognise all the lines of your face And they will recognise all the lines of your face E eles vão reconhecer todas as linhas do seu rosto In the face of the daughter of the daughter of my daughter In the face of the daughter of the daughter of my daughter No rosto da filha da filha da minha filha Darling, we will be fine, but what was yours and mine Darling, we will be fine, but what was yours and mine Querida, nós vamos ficar bem, mas o que era meu e seu Appears to be a sandcastle that the gibbering wave takes Appears to be a sandcastle that the gibbering wave takes Parece a mim um castelo de areia que as ondas em algaravia levam But if it's all just the same, then will you say my name But if it's all just the same, then will you say my name Mas se é tudo o mesmo, então você vai dizer meu nome Say my name in the morning, so I know when the wave breaks? Say my name in the morning, so I know when the wave breaks? Dizer meu nome de manhã, para que eu saiba quando a onda quebra? I wasn't born of a whistle or milked from a thistle at twilight I wasn't born of a whistle or milked from a thistle at twilight Eu não nasci de um apito ou fui ordenhada de um cardo-leitoso ao crepúsculo No, I was all horns and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright No, I was all horns and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright Não, eu era toda chifres e espinhos, florescida por completo, com joelhos valgos e ereta So: Enough of this terror So: Enough of this terror Então basta deste terror We deserve to know light We deserve to know light Nós merecemos conhecer a luz And grow evermore lighter and lighter And grow evermore lighter and lighter E nos tornar cada vez mais e mais luzias!
