O rio sussurrante correu pela cidade por dias.The whisper stream ran through the town for days.
As inseguranças do mato o enterraram a seis pés de profundidadeThe backwoods insecurities had laid him six feet below
onde a neve agora cobre as rosas.where the snow now covers the roses.
Eles tinham medo de onde seus olhos poderiam se fixar, assim como os deles.They were afraid of where his eyes might find their fix as well as their own.
Achavam que o conheciam, mas nem mesmo se conheciam.They thought that they knew him but they didn't even know themselves.
O rio sussurrante fluiu por este país.The whisper stream flowed across this country.
As manchetes imprimiram as palavras de autodefesa.The headlines printed the words of self defense.
Ele merecia morrer?Did he deserve to die?
Eles merecem viver?Do they deserve to live?
Eu trocaria a vida deles pela dele.I'll trade their life for his.
