Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair)

Fitas Escarlates (para Seu Cabelo)

Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair)

Eu espreitei pra dar boa noite e ouvi minha filha em oraçãoI peeked in to say goodnight and I heard my child in prayer
E pra mim algumas fitas escarlates, fitas escarlates pro meu cabeloAnd for me some scarlet ribbons scarlet ribbons for my hair
Todas as lojas estavam fechadas, todas as ruas escuras e vaziasAll the stores were closed and shuttered all the streets were dark and bare
Na nossa cidade, nenhuma fita escarlate, nem uma fita pro cabelo delaIn our town no scarlet ribbons not one ribbon for her hair
Durante a noite meu coração doía, logo antes do amanhecerThrough the night my heart was aching just before the dawn was breaking
Eu espreitei e na cama dela, em alegre profusão, estavam láI peeked in and on her bed in gay profusion laying there
Lindas fitas, fitas escarlates, fitas escarlates pro cabelo delaLovely ribbons scarlet ribbons scarlet ribbons for her hair
Se eu viver até os cem, nunca vou saber de onde vieramIf I live to be a hundred I will never know from where
Aquelas lindas fitas escarlates, fitas escarlates pro cabelo delaCame those lovely scarlet ribbons scarlet ribbons for her hair
