Down in the willow garden Down in the willow garden Lá no jardim de salgueiros Where me and my love did meet Where me and my love did meet Onde eu e meu amor nos encontramos As we sat a-courtin' As we sat a-courtin' Enquanto nós estávamos namorando My love fell off to sleep My love fell off to sleep Meu amor adormeceu I had a bottle of Burgundy wine I had a bottle of Burgundy wine Eu tinha uma garrafa de vinho da Borgonha My love she did not know My love she did not know Meu amor não sabia So I poisoned that dear little girl So I poisoned that dear little girl Então eu envenenei aquela amada menininha On the banks below On the banks below Nas margens mais adiante I drew a sabre through her I drew a sabre through her Eu introduzi um sabre através dela It was a bloody knife It was a bloody knife Era uma faca sangrenta I threw her in the river I threw her in the river Eu a joguei no rio Which was a dreadful sign Which was a dreadful sign O que era um gesto horrível My father often told me My father often told me Meu pai frequentemente me dizia That money would set me free That money would set me free Que o dinheiro me libertaria If I would murder that dear little girl If I would murder that dear little girl Se eu matasse aquela amada menininha Whose name was Rose Connolly Whose name was Rose Connolly Que se chamava Rose Connolly My father sits at his cabin door My father sits at his cabin door Meu pai está sentato na porta de sua cabana Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes Enxugando seus olhos escurecidos pelas lágrimas que derrama For his only son soon shall walk For his only son soon shall walk Pelo seu único filho que logo caminhará To yonder scaffold high To yonder scaffold high Lá para o alto do seu cadafalso My race is run, beneath the sun My race is run, beneath the sun Minha coragem fugiu, sob o Sol The scaffold now waits for me The scaffold now waits for me O cadafalso espera por mim For I did murder that dear little girl For I did murder that dear little girl Por ter matado aquela amada menininha Whose name was Rose Connelly Whose name was Rose Connelly Que se chamava Rose Connelly
