Sugar In The Flowers

Açúcar Nas Flores

Sugar In The Flowers

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

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

O outono rolou lentamente e todas as flores pararam no chãoThe autumn slowly rolled around and all the flowers stalled to the ground
E tudo o que era verde se transformou em vermelho douradoAnd all that was green turned to golden red
Então Sugar não podia nem sentar e saber que ela nunca andariaThen Sugar couldn't even sit and knowing she'd never walk from it
Quebrou meu coração para colocá-la em sua camaBroke my heart to lay her in her bed
Coitadinho Sugar seus amiguinhos as floresPoor little Sugar her little friends the flowers
E colocá-los em seu lado da cama Açúcar nas floresAnd 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 deixouThen Sugar's life like flower petals drooped and faded and then it left her
E toda a dor de Sugar chegou ao fimAnd all of Sugar's pain was at an end
Tão pacífica e tão quieta ela colocou, parecia um sonho longeSo peaceful and so still she laid she seemed just like a dream away

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

Agora a primavera é rodada novamente e as flores florescem em toda a terraNow spring is rolled round again and flowers bloom across the land
Chuveiros de primavera polvilhe no chãoSpring showers sprinkle down onto the ground
E eu sei que era uma regra de Deus que seria o trabalho do meu SugarAnd 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 redorTo honor all the flowers in the gardens all around
Ela era doce Açúcar Açúcar nas floresShe was sweet Sugar Sugar in the flowers
