Sweet Satan

Doce Satanás

Sweet Satan

Era nos velhos temposIt was back in the old days
Na época da minha dorIn the time of my grief
Quando as mulheres me abandonaramWhen the ladies all disowned me
E meus pulmões mal conseguiam respirarAnd my lungs could scarcely breathe
E a vida selvagem ficava mais feroz a cada diaAnd the wildlife was growing wilder by the day
E eu me mantinha mais isoladoAnd I stuck to myself mostly
Havia um bando de irmãos que vieram até mimThere was a band of brothers who rode unto me
Jogando acusações que eu mal conseguia verThrowing accusations I could rarely see
Colocaram a mão em mimThey put a hand upon me
E me penduraram de cabeça pra baixoAnd hung me upside down
E esvaziaram meus bolsosAnd emptied out my pockets
E me chutaram no chãoAnd kicked me on the ground
Tiraram o ferro em brasaThey took out the hot poker
E marcaram meu peitoAnd branded on my chest
Torceram minha orelhaTwisted my ear off
Gasolina no meu coleteGasoline on my vest
Me incendiaram todoSet me all a-flaming
Perigoso e derrotadoPeriled and defeated
Me apedrejaramPelted me with stones
Isso parecia morte certaThat felt like certain death
Foram até minha mulherThey went on to my lady
E a fizeram se ajoelharAnd made her kneel low
Desfizeram todo o cabelo delaTore all her hair loose
E cortaram suas roupasAnd cut through her clothes
Riram e gritaramLaughed and they hollered
E pintaram os cavalos de laranjaAnd they painted the horses orange
Juntaram as criançasPut the kids together
E as amarraram na varandaAnd tied them to the porch
Então, fogo sobre fogoThen blaze upon blaze
Os demônios se reuniramDid the devils rally 'round
Com rifles e bastõesWith rifles and sticks
Bateram no chãoDid they pound on the ground
Eu cambaleei e roleiI rambled and I tumbled
E caí de péAnd I fell to my feet
E nunca soubeAnd I never knew
Que o suor de satanásThe sweat of satan
Tinha um gosto tão doceTasted so sweet
