Yellow Fever

Febre Amarela

Yellow Fever

Era uma epidemia mortal de febre amarela
It was a deadly yellow fever epidemic
A princípio, poucos adoeceram e então
At first only a few where sick and then it
Começaram a ficar raivosos
Started raging bad,
Foi a pior cosia que esta cidade já teve
It was the wort this town has had
Era o verão de 1853
It was the summer of 1853
Somente meu querido velho pai e eu
Only my dear old dad and me
Escapamos vivos
Escaped alive
Escapamos ilesos
Escaped unscathed

Verão de 1853
Summer of 1853
O rio exalava à mortalidade
the river reeked of mortality
