The Wall
He had nothing to give
So from the wall
He lived behind
He found the bricks
That were the greenest with moss
And cut them out
With a mason's bit
And gave the most beautiful
To his friends
A green-sided brick
For each friend
And his wall was gone.
A Parede
Ele não tinha nada a oferecer
Então, da parede
Que vivia atrás
Ele encontrou os tijolos
Que estavam mais verdes com musgo
E os cortou
Com uma broca de pedreiro
E deu os mais bonitos
Para seus amigos
Um tijolo verde
Para cada amigo
E sua parede desapareceu.
