Southbound Train

Trem Rumo ao Sul

Southbound Train

Casal jovem, dezesseteYoung couple, seventeen
Tão apaixonados, nas nuvensSo in love, swept off their feet
Os pais brigaram, não aprovaramParents fought it they did not approve
Disseram que eram muito jovens, que iam se perderSaid they're too young they're gonna lose

Um dia ele se ajoelhouOne day he got on his knee
Disse que sabia que eram jovens, mas você casa comigo?He said I know we're young, but would you marry me?
Uma noite à luz da luaOne night by the light of the moon
Ela saiu pela janelaShe climbed out of her window

E eles fugiram juntos num trem rumo ao sulAnd they ran away together on a southbound train
Fizeram suas promessas à luz do diaSaid their vows by the light of day
O tempo era tudo que tinham a seu favorTime was all they had on their side
E o trem seguiu pela noiteAnd the train rolled on into the night

Ela não tinha vestido de noiva, não tinha anelShe didn't have a wedding gown, she didn't have a ring
Mas ele era tudo que ela precisavaBut he was all she'd ever need
Na calada da noite, escapuliuInto the night they snuck away
E se casaram no dia seguinteAnd they got married the next day

Ficaram juntos até envelhecerThey stayed together until they were old & gray
Desde 1922, quando fugiramEver since 1922 when they ran away
