When I Was a Baby

Quando Eu Era Bebê

When I Was a Baby

Quando eu era bebê, eu parecia um porquinhoWhen I was baby I looked like a pig
meu nariz era um focinho e minhas orelhas eram grandes demaismy nose a snout and my ears were too big
Minha mãe cutucava o buracoMy mother would poke at the hole
na parte de trás da minha cabeça onde meu cérebro estava expostoat the back of my head where my brain was exposed
Eu não sabia na época, mas nunca maisI didn't know it then but never again
recuperaria aqueles dias maravilhososwould recapture those wonderful days

Quando eu era bebê, eu caí em um poçoWhen I was a baby I fell down a well
cai bem fundo na fornalha do infernoI landed deep down in the furnace of hell
O diabo me embalava pra dormirThe devil would rock me to sleep
com histórias de cidades de marfim e ourowith stories of cities of ivory and gold
Demorou muito, muito tempo até que eu conseguisseIt took a long, long time before I could
escapar daquele buraco terrívelescape from that terrible hole

Quando eu era bebê, eu dormia em um berçoWhen I was a baby I lived in a crib
engatinhava pelo chão e comia de babadorI crawled on floors and ate with a bib
Mas então fui levado emboraBut then I was taken away
e vendido para o circo por quinquilharias e contasand was sold to the circus for trinkets and beads
Agora eu fico acordado à noite e sonho sobreNow I lie awake at night and dream about
o que eu faria se algum dia fosse libertadowhat I would do if I was ever set free
