Gentle Willie

Willie era um marinheiroWillie was a sailor
Navegava pelo marHe sailed on the sea
E Willie dizia que a vida de marinheiroAnd Willie said a sailor's life
Era a vida pra mimIs the life for me
Mas mandaram ele pra batalhaBut they sent him into battle
Pra entregar sua vidaFor to lay down his life
E Willie disse que a vida de marinheiro não era pra mimAnd Willie said a sailor's life is not for me

Então Willie entrou pra força aéreaSo Willie joined the air force
Aprendeu a voarHe learnt how to fly
E Willie dizia o quanto estava felizAnd Willie said how happy
Voando lá no céuHe was flying in the sky
Mas mandaram ele pra batalhaBut they sent him into battle
Pra entregar sua vidaFor to lay down his life
E Willie disse que a força aérea não era vida pra mimAnd Willie said the air force is no life for me

Agora Willie começou a pensarNow Willie got to thinking
Que o povo tramava contra sua vidaPeople were plotting for his life
Então ele comprou uma torre de vigiaSo he bought himself a watchtower
E se trancou lá dentroAnd locked himself inside
Mas a torre olhava pra um campo de batalhaBut the tower looked o'er a battlefield
Onde homens entregavam suas vidasWhere men laid down their lives
E Willie teve que rir, mas depois ele chorouAnd Willie had to laugh but then he cried
