Down In The Willow Garden

No jardim de salgueirosDown in the willow garden
Onde eu e meu amor nos encontramosWhere me and my love did meet
Lá sentamos a nos namorarThere we sat a courting
Meu amor acabou adormecendo.My love dropped off to sleep.

Eu tinha uma garrafa de vinho tintoI had a bottle of burgundy wine
Meu verdadeiro amor não sabiaMy true love she did not know
Foi lá que eu matei aquela querida meninaIt was there I murdered that dear little girl
Às margens abaixo.Down on the banks below.

--- Instrumental ------ Instrumental ---

Eu cravei uma espada nelaI drew a saber through her
Que era uma faca ensanguentadaWhich was a bloody knife
Eu a joguei no rioI threw her into the river
Que foi uma visão horrenda.Which was an dreadful sight.

Meu pai sempre me diziaMy father often told me
Que o dinheiro me libertariaThat money would set me free
Se eu apenas matasse aquela querida meninaIf I'd but murder that dear little girl
Que se chamava Rose Connely.Who's name was Rose Connely.

--- Instrumental ------ Instrumental ---

Agora ele está na porta da cabanaNow he stands at his cabin door
Enxugando seu olho embaçado de lágrimasA wiping his tear dimmed eye
Olhando para seu próprio querido filhoGazing on his own dear son
Na alta forca.Upon the scaffold high.

Minha corrida terminou sob o solMy race is run beneath the sun
O diabo está me esperandoThe devil is waiting for me
Pois eu matei aquela querida meninaFor I did murder that dear little girl
Que se chamava Rose Connely...Who's name was Rose Connely...
