Follow My Tears

Siga Minhas Lágrimas

Follow My Tears

Eu nasci na sombra da fábrica onde eu trabalhariaI was born in the shadow of the factory I'd be working
Pra mim e meu irmão, não havia outro lugar pra irFor me and my brother, there was nowhere else to go
Casei com um garoto da cidade em 1947I married a local boy in 1947
As mãos dele eram ásperas, mas seus olhos eram gentisHis hands were rough but his eyes were kind
E eu sabia que nosso amor ia crescerAnd I knew our love would grow

Dos meus olhos pro rioFrom my eyes to the river
Do rio pro marFrom the river to the sea
Do mar pras nuvens escurasFrom the sea to the drkening clouds
Do céu de volta pra mimFrom the sky back down to me
Siga minhas lágrimas....Follow my tears....

Navegamos pra Nova Zelândia, eu estava esperando nossa segunda filhaWe sailed for New Zealand, I was carrying our second daughter
E lá no cais, nunca soube que eram as últimas despedidasAnd there on the dockside, I never knew they were last goodbyes
A primeira vez que vi Wellington, meu coração não parava de acelerarThe first time I saw Wellington my heart would not stop racing
Tínhamos vindo de longe pra começar nossas novas vidasWe had come halfway round the world to start our new lives

Agora o John era engenheiro, trabalhou até o dia em que morreuNow John was an engineer, he worked until the day he died
Ele me deixou sem querer nada, por trinta anos esse foi nosso larHe left me wanting nothing, for thirty years this was our home
Estou sozinha agora, as crianças me ligam de vez em quandoI am by myself now, the children call me now and then
As mãos dele eram ásperas, mas seus olhos eram gentisHis hands were rough but his eyes were kind
E eu sabia que nosso amor ia crescerAnd I knew our love would grow

Dos meus olhos pro rioFrom my eyes to the river
Do rio pro marFrom the river to the sea
Do mar pras nuvens escurasFrom the sea to the drkening clouds
Do céu de volta pra mimFrom the sky back down to me
Siga minhas lágrimas....Follow my tears....
Siga minhas lágrimasFollow my tears
