The Soapmakers

Os Saboeiros

The Soapmakers

Atrás da Pousada na Falésia,Behind the Cliffside Inn,
Eu ouvi um violino e uma bandolim,I heard a fiddle and a mandolin,
marcando o ritmo em uma velha tábua de lavarkeeping rhythm on an old washboard
e batendo no chão.and stomping on the floor.
Vi gente de todo tipoSaw people of all sorts
dançando em pares e quartetos,dancing 'round in twos and fours,
cantando sobre os velhos tempos,caroling about days of old,
e o que o futuro reserva.and what the future holds.

No meio havia um grande caldeirãoIn the middle was a big cauldron
que eles estavam mexendo, mexendo,that they were stirring, stirring,
e havia árvores ao redorand there were trees around
que eles continuavam queimando, queimando.that they kept burning, burning.
Perguntei a um homem sem dentesI asked a toothless man
quem eram todas essas pessoas,who all these people were,
e ele disse: "Os saboeiros,and he said, "The soapmakers,
e nós estamos trabalhando, trabalhando."and we are working, working."

Enquanto eles mexiam Céu e Terra, se tornaram um só,As they stirred Heaven and Earth, they combined to one,
e tudo era todos e cada um era tudo.and everything was everyone and each one was all.
Enquanto eles mexiam, ouvi um chamado de trompete,As they stirred I heard a trumpet call,
e tudo era todos e cada um era tudo.and everything was everyone and each one was all.
