Lay Me Down Sweet Jesus

Lay Me Down Doce Jesus

Lay Me Down Sweet Jesus

Oh, Lay Me Down, doce Jesus, pelas skylines trêmulas
Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus, by the trembling skylines
por vinhas da raposa, pelos olhos do boneco de neve
by the fox's vineyard, by the snowman's eyes
Oh, Lay Me Down pelos meninos negros, Lay Me Down pelos meninos azuis
Oh, lay me down by the black boys, lay me down by the blue boys
e me deito na doçura dos braços de meu pai
and lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms

Oh, Lay Me Down, doce Jesus, pela febre dos seus pés frios
Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus, by the fever of your cold feet
onde o solo passa fome, onde os vermes bonitas esconder
where the soil goes hungry, where the pretty worms hide
Oh, Lay Me Down pelas rodovias, pelos roteiros messiânicos
Oh, lay me down by the highways, by the messianic roadmaps
e me deito na doçura dos braços de meu pai
and lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms

Oh, Lay Me Down, doce Jesus, junto ao rio lamacento Jordão
Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus, by the muddy river Jordan
pelos dentes dos pianos, pelas bandas de punk rock
by the teeth of pianos, by the punk rock bands
Oh, Lay Me Down por os caixões dos pais do Paperboy
Oh, lay me down by the coffins of the paperboy's parents
e me deito na doçura dos braços de meu pai
and lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms

Oh, Lay Me Down, Jesus doce, nas zonas de guerra santa
Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus, in the holy war zones
por câncer de Jerusalém, pelo sangue do meu bebê
by Jerusalem's cancer, by my baby's blood
Oh, Lay Me Down nas pastagens, onde suas cruzes reúne
Oh, lay me down in the pastures, where your crosses gathers
e me deito na doçura dos braços de meu pai
and lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms
