Sugar In The Flowers

Açúcar Nas Flores

Sugar In The Flowers

Parece que só ontem eu sentei e assisti meu jogo Sugar
It seems like only yesterday I sat and watched my Sugar play
Perseguindo borboletas no sol do verão
Chasing butterflies in the summer sun
Ela ficou descalça o dia todo e nunca pensou em coisas erradas
She went barefoot all day long and never thought of things wrong
Mas todos os médicos disseram que com certeza viria
But all the doctors said it was sure to come
Ela era meu açúcar correndo pelas flores
She was my Sugar running through the flowers
My sweet little Sugar Açúcar nas flores
My sweet little Sugar Sugar in the flowers

Seu lugar favorito era nas flores, onde ela costumava jogar por horas
Her favorite place was in the flowers where she used to play for hours
Depois da coxa dela parar de correr
After her little leg stop running
Ela afastou os abelhões e eu escondi as lágrimas para que ela não visse
She brushed away the bumblebees and I'd hide the tears so she wouldn't see
E adivinha o que estava por vir
And guess about what was coming
Ela era doce Açúcar nas flores
She was sweet Sugar in the flowers

O outono rolou lentamente e todas as flores pararam no chão
The autumn slowly rolled around and all the flowers stalled to the ground
E tudo o que era verde se transformou em vermelho dourado
And all that was green turned to golden red
Então Sugar não podia nem sentar e saber que ela nunca andaria
Then Sugar couldn't even sit and knowing she'd never walk from it
Quebrou meu coração para colocá-la em sua cama
Broke my heart to lay her in her bed
Coitadinho Sugar seus amiguinhos as flores
Poor little Sugar her little friends the flowers
E colocá-los em seu lado da cama Açúcar nas flores
And place them at her bed side Sugar in the flowers

Então a vida de Sugar como pétalas de flores caiu e desbotou e então a deixou
Then Sugar's life like flower petals drooped and faded and then it left her
E toda a dor de Sugar chegou ao fim
And all of Sugar's pain was at an end
Tão pacífica e tão quieta ela colocou, parecia um sonho longe
So peaceful and so still she laid she seemed just like a dream away

Como eu coloquei flores em suas pequenas mãos cruzadas
As I placed flowers in her little folded hands
Açúcar doce na capela cercada pelas flores
Sweet Sugar in the chapel surrounded by the flowers
Um remendo coberto para fora no adro da igreja Açúcar sob as flores
A covered patch out in the churchyard Sugar beneath the flowers

Agora a primavera é rodada novamente e as flores florescem em toda a terra
Now spring is rolled round again and flowers bloom across the land
Chuveiros de primavera polvilhe no chão
Spring showers sprinkle down onto the ground
E eu sei que era uma regra de Deus que seria o trabalho do meu Sugar
And I know that it was a rule by God that it would be my Sugar's job
Para honrar todas as flores nos jardins ao redor
To honor all the flowers in the gardens all around
Ela era doce Açúcar Açúcar nas flores
She was sweet Sugar Sugar in the flowers
