Murders

Ele estava na floresta olhando para ver as árvoresHe was in the forest looking to see the trees
Mas nenhuma estava láBut none were there
Ele encontrou uma garotaHe found a girl
Ela encontrou o erlkingShe found the Erlking (the lover)

Eles estavam na floresta brancaThey were in the white wood
Brincando de fazer um piqueniqueGambling out to picnic
Na luz as folhas quebraram acimaIn the light leaves broke above
Então caiu abaixoThen fell below

Eu estava no meio termoI was in the middle ground
Procurando encontrar asLooking to find the

Flores no jardimFlowers in the garden
Cansado do bem me quer mal me querWearying of the hate me hate me not
Espere eles esqueceramWait they forgot
Ai ai a podridãoWoe oh the rot

Mais profundamente eles rastejaramDeeper in they crept
Alheio aos ursos e terrores mais sombriosOblivious of the bears and darker terrors
Ou nenhum estava láOr none were there
Como eles ousaramHow did they dare

Eu estava no meio termoI was in the middle ground
Procurando encontrar aLooking to find the
Fonte do espelho infinitoFountain of infinite mirror
Árvore caindo ninguém ouviriaTree falling no one would hear
Sombra de ninguém láShadow of nobody there
Assassinatos de assassinos que vivem com medo dissoMurders of murderers living in fear of it

Corujas no relógio noturnoOwls on the night watch
Solene e facilmente sábio para o que pensávamosSolemn and easily wise to what we thought
Eles pensaram acimaThey thought above
Som quebrou abaixoSound broke below

Eles estavam na floresta pretaThey were in the black wood
Cobiçando indiscretamente ela por eleCoveting indiscreetly her for him
Ou ele por elaOr him for her
Mostrado o que eles eramShown what they were

Eu estava no meio termoI was in the middle ground
Procurando encontrar aLooking to find the
Fonte do espelho infinitoFountain of infinite mirror
Árvore caindo ninguém ouviriaTree falling no one would hear
Sombra de ninguém láShadow of nobody there
Assassinatos de assassinos que vivem com medo dissoMurders of murderers living in fear of it

Eu estava na clareiraI was in the clearing
Zumbindo para ouvir, mas asBuzzing around to hearing but the
Abelhas e pássaros que sabiam as palavrasBees and birds who knew the words

Logo chegou o crepúsculoSoon arrived the twilight
Finalmente a noite e o dia se lembraramFinally the night and day remembered
Como eles vieram a serHow they came to be

Tudo por nadaAll for nothing at all
Tudo por nadaAll for nothing at all
Com algo para fazerWith something to do

Eu estava na floresta a procura de ver as ávoresI was in the forest looking to see the trees
Mas nenhuma estava láBut none were there
