Preaching Up a Storm

Pregando Tempestades

Preaching Up a Storm

Eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio, na costa de LincolnThey were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
Cantando Paz no Vale e pregando tempestadesSinging Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm

Havia uma multidão reunida lá embaixo, à beira do rioThere was a crowd gathered down by the river
Onde eu e Benny Thompson costumávamos brincarWhere me and Benny Thompson used to play
Eu me perguntei se eles tinham água suficienteI wondered if they had enough a water
Para lavar os pecados do velho Lester HarperTo wash old Lester Harper's sins away
Porque ouvi a Miss Ida sussurrar que ele estava perdido demais para ser salvoCause I heard Miss Ida whisper he's too lost to save

Bem, eles cantavam e chovia, e era assustadorWell they would sing and it would rain and it was frightening
Algumas coisas são difíceis de entender quando você tem oito anosSome things are hard to understand when you're eight
Ainda posso ouvir o trovão e ver o relâmpagoI can still hear the thunder and see the lightning
Quando o Pastor Hayes levantou as mãos para orarWhen Preacher Hayes raised his hands to pray
Eu podia sentir meu corpo tremer porque eu estava com muito medoI could feel my body tremble cause I was so afraid

É, eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio...Yeah they were down by the river...

Eu estava lá, mas mal conseguia ouvir o sermãoI was there but I could barely hear the sermon
Estava com medo e não queria me aproximarI was scared and didn't care to get up close
Ouvi ele dizer que algo estava pegando fogoI heard him tell 'em something was a burning
E então ele gritou algo sobre um fantasmaAnd then he shouted something about a ghost
E quando eles entraram na águaAnd when they walked down in the water
A Irmã Harper gritou, por favor, não deixe ele irSister Harper hollered please don't let him go

Bem, eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio...Well they were down by the river...
Eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio...They were down by the river...
Eles estavam lá embaixo, à beira do rio...They were down by the river...
