Down among the reeds and rushes Down among the reeds and rushes Descendo entre as canas e juncos A baby boy was found A baby boy was found Um bebê foi encontrado His eyes as clear as centuries His eyes as clear as centuries Seus olhos tão clara como séculos His silky hair was brown His silky hair was brown Seu cabelo era castanho sedoso Never been lonely Never been lonely Nunca estive sozinha Never been lied to Never been lied to Nunca foi enganada Never had to scuffle in fear Never had to scuffle in fear Nunca tive a briga com medo Nothing denied to Nothing denied to Nada negado Born at the instant Born at the instant Nascido no instante The church bells chime The church bells chime O carrilhão de sinos de igreja And the whole world whispering And the whole world whispering E o mundo inteiro sussurrando Born at the right time Born at the right time Nascido no momento certo Me and my buddies we are travelling people Me and my buddies we are travelling people Eu e meus camaradas estamos viajando pessoas We like to go down to restaurant row We like to go down to restaurant row Gostamos de ir para baixo a linha restaurante Spend those Euro-dollars Spend those Euro-dollars Passe os euro-dólares All the way from Washington to Tokyo All the way from Washington to Tokyo Todo o caminho desde Washington a Tóquio I see them in the airport lounge I see them in the airport lounge Vejo-os no saguão do aeroporto Upon their mother's breast Upon their mother's breast No peito de sua mãe They follow me with open eyes They follow me with open eyes Eles seguem-me com os olhos abertos Their uninvited guest Their uninvited guest Seu hóspede não convidado Never been lonely Never been lonely Nunca estive sozinha Never been lied to Never been lied to Nunca foi enganada Never had to scuffle in fear Never had to scuffle in fear Nunca tive a briga com medo Nothing denied to Nothing denied to Nada negado Born at the instant Born at the instant Nascido no instante The church bells chime The church bells chime O carrilhão de sinos de igreja And the whole world whispering And the whole world whispering E o mundo inteiro sussurrando Born at the right time Born at the right time Nascido no momento certo Too many people on the bus from the airport Too many people on the bus from the airport Muitas pessoas no ônibus do aeroporto Too many holes in the crust of the earth Too many holes in the crust of the earth Demasiado muitos buracos na crosta da Terra The planet groans The planet groans O planeta geme Every time it registers another birth Every time it registers another birth Toda vez que ele registra um outro nascimento But among the reeds and rushes But among the reeds and rushes Mas entre as canas e juncos A baby girl was found A baby girl was found A menina foi encontrada Her eyes as clear as centuries Her eyes as clear as centuries Seus olhos tão clara como séculos Her silky hair was brown Her silky hair was brown Seu cabelo era castanho sedoso Never been lonely Never been lonely Nunca estive sozinha Never been lied to Never been lied to Nunca foi enganada Never had to scuffle in fear Never had to scuffle in fear Nunca tive a briga com medo Nothing denied to Nothing denied to Nada negado Born at the instant Born at the instant Nascido no instante The church bells chime The church bells chime O carrilhão de sinos de igreja And the whole world whispering And the whole world whispering E o mundo inteiro sussurrando Born at the right time Born at the right time Nascido no momento certo
