As cinzas reluzentes iluminam os galhos nus das árvores Glowing ash illuminates the naked branches of the trees As flores flutuam como fantasmas inofensivos no meio do riacho Flowers float like ghosts unharmed in the middle of the stream O sabor de fumaça velha ainda permeia o ar The stale taste of smoke still permeates the air Mas as brasas ainda hão de tocar essa terra But embers have yet to touch this earth Compartilhada por ambas nossas casas That both on which our homes both share
Conforme a pena da coruja cai, apesar da ventania, As the owl feather falls despite the wind O conforto de seu voo me ajuda a entender The comfort of its flight helps me to understand As razões do tempo no qual estamos The reasons the time in which were in Soprando os lençóis It blows away the shrouds
E as cinzas caem como neve And the ashes fall like snow Pintamos o rosto de suas filhas We painted on your daughters Com a lama que a chuva deixou Face with the mud the rain had made Então, começamos todos a brincar de faz de conta e esquecemos de pagar as contas Then we all began to play make believe and left the bills unpaid
