The Plague

A Praga

The Plague

Ela estava andando com uma páShe was walking with a spade
E estava cavando as covasAnd she was digging the graves
E as encheu de corposAnd filled them with corpses
E cobriu com rosasAnd covered with roses

Pessoas como ovelhas assustadas -People like little scared lambs -
Trancadas e apavoradasLocked and frightened
Estavam morrendoWere dying
Parece que estavam dormindoIt seems they were sleeping
Nenhum som se ouviaNo sound were heard
Apenas o crescimento das covasJust upgrowth of graves
Parece que estavam se escondendoIt seems they were hiding
De quê?From what?

Ela estava andando com uma páShe was walking with a spade
E estava cavando as covasAnd she was digging the graves
E as encheu de corposAnd filled them with corpses
E cobriu com rosasAnd covered with roses

Coveiros silenciosos arrastavamSilent grave-diggers were dragging
Figuras sombrias -Stark figures -
A arte obscura da Praga!Dark art of the Plague!
Coveiros carrancudos estavam cobrindoSullen grave-diggers were covering
Com terra corpo por corpoWith earth corps by corps
Sem caixões, sem lágrimasWithout coffins without tears

Ela estava andando com uma páShe was walking with a spade
E estava cavando as covasAnd she was digging the graves
E as encheu de corposAnd filled them with corpses
E cobriu com rosasAnd covered with roses

Meses se passaram e a vida ficou mudaMonths were passing and life grew dumb
As árvores tremiam como ovelhasTrees were trembling like lambs
Não havia ninguém para enterrar o últimoThere were none to bury the last
Todos encontraram calma na poeiraThey all found calm in the dust
Apenas o vento varreu suas cinzasOnly wind swept their ashes
Apenas o sol queimou seus restosOnly sun burnt their remains
