Preaching Up a Storm TRADUÇÃO - Mel McDaniel (Impressão)

They were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore

Singing Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm

There was a crowd gathered down by the river

Where me and Benny Thompson used to play

I wondered if they had enough a water

To wash old Lester Harper's sins away

Cause I heard Miss Ida whisper he's too lost to save

Well they would sing and it would rain and it was frightening

Some things are hard to understand when you're eight

I can still hear the thunder and see the lightning

When Preacher Hayes raised his hands to pray

I could feel my body tremble cause I was so afraid

Yeah they were down by the river...

[ guitar ]

I was there but I could barely hear the sermon

I was scared and didn't care to get up close

I heard him tell 'em something was a burning

And then he shouted something about a ghost

And when they walked down in the water

Sister Harper hollered please don't let him go

Well they were down by the river...

They were down by the river...

Eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio, na costa de Lincoln

Cantando Paz no Vale e pregando tempestades

Havia uma multidão reunida lá embaixo, à beira do rio

Onde eu e Benny Thompson costumávamos brincar

Eu me perguntei se eles tinham água suficiente

Para lavar os pecados do velho Lester Harper

Porque ouvi a Miss Ida sussurrar que ele estava perdido demais para ser salvo

Bem, eles cantavam e chovia, e era assustador

Algumas coisas são difíceis de entender quando você tem oito anos

Ainda posso ouvir o trovão e ver o relâmpago

Quando o Pastor Hayes levantou as mãos para orar

Eu podia sentir meu corpo tremer porque eu estava com muito medo

É, eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio...

[ guitarra ]

Eu estava lá, mas mal conseguia ouvir o sermão

Estava com medo e não queria me aproximar

Ouvi ele dizer que algo estava pegando fogo

E então ele gritou algo sobre um fantasma

E quando eles entraram na água

A Irmã Harper gritou, por favor, não deixe ele ir

Bem, eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio...

Eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio...
