Scarlet Ribbons
I peeked in to say good-night
When I heard my child in prayer
"And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All our stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
Fitas Escarlates
Eu olhei pra dizer boa noite
Quando ouvi minha filha orando
"E pra mim, algumas fitas escarlates
Fitas escarlates pro meu cabelo"
Todas as nossas lojas estavam fechadas
Todas as ruas estavam escuras e vazias
Na nossa cidade, nenhuma fita escarlate
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela
Durante a noite meu coração doía
Logo antes do amanhecer chegar
Na nossa cidade, nenhuma fita escarlate
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela
Eu olhei e na cama dela
Em alegre profusão ali estavam
Lindas fitas, fitas escarlates
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela
Se eu viver até os cem anos
Nunca vou saber de onde vieram
Aquelas lindas fitas escarlates
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela
