The Singer Sang His Song

O Cantor Cantou Sua Canção

The Singer Sang His Song

Ele cantava sua canção quase toda noiteHe'd sing his song most ev'ry night
Desejando que ela estivesse lá atrás da luzWishing she was there behind the light
O povo dançava e cantava juntoThe people danced and sang along
No palco de papelão, ele nunca cantou erradoOn the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong
E o flautista tocava a melodiaAnd the piper played the tune
E o baterista usava suas esporasAnd the drummer wore his spurs
Mas a canção que o cantor cantava era para elaBut the song that the singer sang was for her

Agora a canção do cantor nunca é ouvidaNow the singer's song is never heard
E as visões que ele um dia viu desapareceramAnd the visions he once saw are disappeared
Agora eles nunca dançam ou cantam juntoNow they never dance or sing along
Mas no palco de papelão, ele nunca cantou erradoBut on the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong
E o flautista tocava a melodiaAnd the piper played the tune
E o baterista usava suas esporasAnd the drummer wore his spurs
Mas a canção que o cantor cantava era para elaBut the song that the singer sang was for her
