My roots are deeper than the bones the others My roots are deeper than the bones the others Minhas raízes são mais profundas que os ossos das outras My colors they change with the sun My colors they change with the sun Minhas cores mudam com o sol My branches we’re higher than anything on the hillside My branches we’re higher than anything on the hillside Meus galhos estamos mais altos do que qualquer coisa na encosta On the day that I watched them all come On the day that I watched them all come No dia em que eu assisti todos eles virem Some wear the color of the sky in the winter Some wear the color of the sky in the winter Alguns usam a cor do céu no inverno Some we’re as blue as the night Some we’re as blue as the night Alguns somos tão azuis quanto a noite They came like a storm with the light of the morn They came like a storm with the light of the morn Eles vieram como uma tempestade com a luz da manhã And they fell thru the whole day and night And they fell thru the whole day and night E eles caíram durante todo o dia e noite Colors flew high and they danced in the sky Colors flew high and they danced in the sky As cores voaram alto e dançaram no céu As I watched them come over the hill As I watched them come over the hill Enquanto eu assistia eles virem a colina Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Então para minha maravilha varas que fizeram trovão Such a great number lay still Such a great number lay still Um número tão grande ainda When the light came again there was death on the wind When the light came again there was death on the wind Quando a luz voltou, houve morte no vento As the buzzards made way for the worms As the buzzards made way for the worms Como os urubus deram lugar aos vermes And the little white trees that don’t bend in the breeze And the little white trees that don’t bend in the breeze E as pequenas árvores brancas que não se dobram na brisa For the ones that will never return For the ones that will never return Para aqueles que nunca retornarão The colors flew high and they danced in the sky The colors flew high and they danced in the sky As cores voaram alto e dançaram no céu As I watched them come over the hill As I watched them come over the hill Enquanto eu assistia eles virem a colina Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Então para minha maravilha varas que fizeram trovão Such a great number lay still Such a great number lay still Um número tão grande ainda Those that have fallen they come when I call them Those that have fallen they come when I call them Aqueles que caíram eles vêm quando eu os chamo And answer the best that they can And answer the best that they can E responda o melhor que puderem But all they can see is what they used to be But all they can see is what they used to be Mas tudo o que eles podem ver é o que costumavam ser And that’s all that they understand And that’s all that they understand E isso é tudo que eles entendem The colors flew high and they danced in the sky The colors flew high and they danced in the sky As cores voaram alto e dançaram no céu As I watched them come over the hill As I watched them come over the hill Enquanto eu assistia eles virem a colina Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Então para minha maravilha varas que fizeram trovão Such a great number lay still Such a great number lay still Um número tão grande ainda Colors flew high and they danced in the sky Colors flew high and they danced in the sky As cores voaram alto e dançaram no céu As I watched them come over the hill As I watched them come over the hill Enquanto eu assistia eles virem a colina Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder Então para minha maravilha varas que fizeram trovão Such a great number lay still Such a great number lay still Um número tão grande ainda
