From tender years you took me for granted From tender years you took me for granted Por amáveis anos você me tomou como garantia. But still I deign to wander through your lungs But still I deign to wander through your lungs Mas ainda me permite vagar pelos seus pulmões. While you were sleeping soundly in your bed, While you were sleeping soundly in your bed, Enquanto você estava dormindo silenciosamente em sua cama, (Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung) (Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung) Suas cortinas eram asas de prata, abriram suas venezianas. I drew the poison from the summer's sting, I drew the poison from the summer's sting, Eu arranquei o veneno da ferroada do verão. And eased the fire out of your fevered skin. And eased the fire out of your fevered skin. E aliviei o fogo da sua pele febril. I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing; I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing; Eu mudei em você e instiguei sua alma a cantar. And if you'd let me I would move again. And if you'd let me I would move again. E se você me permiti-se eu mudaria novamente. I've danced 'tween sunlit strands of lover's hair; I've danced 'tween sunlit strands of lover's hair; Eu já dancei entre ensolarados fios de cabelo de amantes; Helped form the final words before your death. Helped form the final words before your death. Ajudei a formar as palavras finais antes da sua morte. I've pitied you and plied your sails with air; I've pitied you and plied your sails with air; Eu poupei você e alcei suas velas com o ar. Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath. Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath. Dei graças a deus quando você subiu à minha respiração. And after all of this I am amazed, And after all of this I am amazed, E depois de tudo isso, estou espantado, That I am cursed far more than I am praised. That I am cursed far more than I am praised. Porque estou muito mais amaldiçoado do que abençoado.
