Scarlet Ribbons
I peeked in to say good-night,
When I heard my child in prayer.
And for me some Scarlet Ribbons,
Scarlet Ribbons for my hair.
All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All the streets were dark and bare.
In our town no Scarlet Ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair.
Thru the night my heart was aching,
Just before the dawn was breaking.
I peeked in and on her bed,
In gay profusion lying there,
Lovely ribbons, Scarlet Ribbons,
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
If I live to be a hundred,
I will never know from where.
Came those lovely Scarlet Ribbons,
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
Scarlet Ribbons- There's magic in the air,
Scarlet, Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
Fitas Escarlates
Eu olhei pra dizer boa noite,
Quando ouvi minha filha em oração.
E pra mim algumas fitas escarlates,
Fitas escarlates pro meu cabelo.
Todas as lojas estavam fechadas e trancadas,
Todas as ruas estavam escuras e vazias.
Na nossa cidade, nenhuma fita escarlate,
Nem uma fita pro cabelo dela.
Durante a noite meu coração doía,
Logo antes do amanhecer.
Eu olhei e na cama dela,
Em alegre profusão ali estavam,
Lindas fitas, fitas escarlates,
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela.
Se eu viver até os cem anos,
Nunca vou saber de onde vieram.
Vieram aquelas lindas fitas escarlates,
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela.
Fitas escarlates - Há mágica no ar,
Fitas escarlates, fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela.
