Shantell

Na maré azul-esverdeada que sobe e desceOn the blue-green rising, falling tide
Respirando as pedrinhasBreathing in the pebbles
Suspirando a brisa salgadaSighing out the salt breeze
A palha voa dos campos de restolhoChaff is blowing from the stubble fields
Deixando a terra seca, atravessando o portãoLeaving the dried earth land it threads the gate
Cercas de túnelTunnel hedges
Barba de velhoOld man's beard
Grudando nas ameixas selvagensSticking to the wild plums
Barba de velhoOld man's beard
E segue os caminhos esburacadosAnd follows the pot-holed tracks
Que levam a ShaletownThat lead to Shaletown
A alma do homem-boi gira eternamenteThe ox-man's soul forever turns around
E arara o campo de restolhoAnd ploughs the stubble field
Pegos na milha solitáriaCaught in the lonely mile
Entre as estradas para ShaletownBetween the roads to Shaletown
Ele observa a palha sair de seu olho marrom secoHe watches the chaff leave his dry brown eye
E balançar sobre o portal de rosaAnd swing over rose-hip stile
Para ShaletownTo Shaletown
Sob o pôr do sol bronze-vermelho, nuvens de teia de aranhaUnder bronze-red sunset, cobweb clouds
Mergulhando nas sombrasDipping to the shadows
Dançando entre as árvores mortasDancing through the dead trees
Sobre carros que lutam para subir as colinasOver carts that struggle up the hills
Grudando nas mãos suadas e bolhasSticking into the sweat and blistered hands
Sacos pregados batemNailed sacks flap
