Unusual Child

Criança Incomum

Unusual Child

Sol nascendo e ele já tinha sumidoSun up and he'd be gone
Com uma tira de couro no pescoçoOn a leather strap around his neck
Ele usava um chifre de touro branco.He wore a white bull horn.
Ele seria um índio por um diaHe would be an Indian for a day
Montando sem sela na pradariaRiding bareback on the range
Ele se chamava CochiseHe called himself Cochise
Mas o nome dele era Jimmy.But Jimmy was his name.

Ele era um James Dean do oesteHe was a western James Dean
Era um rebelde, vivia na loucuraHe was a rebel he played wild
Ele era o primogênito na minha família de cincoHe was the first born in my family of five
Ele era uma criança muito incomum,He was a most unusual,
Muito incomumMost unusual
Criança incomum.Unusual child.

Tinha o Frankie e tinha o BillyThere was Frankie and there was Billy
Oh, mas o Jimmy era meu favoritoOh but Jimmy was my favourite one
Parece meio estranho pra mimSeems rather strange to me
Quando penso no que ele fez.When I think of what he'd done.
Tantas vezes eu me perguntoSo many times I wonder
O que era o JimmyWhat Jimmy was all about
Ele era doce, ele era doidoHe was sweet, he was crazy
E ele era do avesso.And he was inside out.

Jimmy sabia que morreria jovemJimmy knew he'd die young
Não havia nada que ele não tentasseThere wasn't anything he wouldn't try
Uma noite ele tentou demaisOne night he tried too hard
Adeus, Jimmy,Goodbye Jimmy,
Adeus.Goodbye.
