Night Game

Jogo Noturno

Night Game

Havia dois homens caídos
There were two men down
E o placar estava empatado
And the score was tied
No final do oitavo
In the bottom of the eighth
Quando o arremessador morreu
When the pitcher died

E eles colocaram suas pontas
And they laid his spikes
No monte do arremessador
On the pitcher's mound
E seu uniforme estava rasgado
And his uni-form was torn
E o número dele foi deixado no chão
And his number was left on the ground

Então a noite esfriou
Then the night turned cold
Mais frio que a lua
Colder than the moon
As estrelas eram brancas como ossos
The stars were white as bones
O estádio era velho
The stadium was old
Mais velho que os gritos
Older than the screams
Mais velho que as equipes
Older than the teams
Havia três homens caídos
There were three men down
E a temporada perdida
And the season lost
E a lona foi enrolada
And the tarpaulin was rolled
Após a geada do inverno
Upon the winter frost
