Where Helen Lies

Onde Helen Descansa

Where Helen Lies

Ah, se eu estivesse onde Helen descansa,O that I were where Helen lies,
Dia e noite ela chora por mim;Night and day on me she cries;
Ah, se eu estivesse onde Helen descansaO that I were where Helen lies
Na bela Kirkconnel lee.In fair Kirkconnel lee.
Oh, Helen, linda e sem igual,O Helen fair beyond compare,
Uma mecha do teu cabelo a brilhar,A ringlet of thy flowing hair,
Eu a usarei pra sempre, afinal,I'll wear it still for ever mair
Até o dia em que eu morrer.Until the day I die.
Maldita seja a mão que disparou,Curs'd be the hand that shot the shot.
E maldita a arma que fez o estrondo!And curs'd the gun that gave the crack!
Nos meus braços, a ave Helen pousou,Into my arms bird Helen lap,
E morreu por minha causa!And died for sake o me!
Ah, não pense que meu coração não doeu;O think na ye but my heart was sair;
Meu amor caiu e não falou mais;My Love fell down and spake nae mair;
Ali ela desmaiou com tanto pesarThere did she swoon wi meikle care
Na bela Kirkconnel lee.On fair Kirkconnel lee.
Desci, minha espada empunhei,I lighted down, my sword did draw,
Cortei ele em pedaços pequenos;I cutted him in pieces sma';
Cortei ele em pedaços pequenosI cutted him in pieces sma'
Na bela Kirkconnel lee.On fair Kirkconnel lee.
Oh, Helen pura, tu eras modesta,O Helen chaste, thou wert modest,
Se eu estivesse contigo, seria abençoadoIf I were with thee I were blest
Onde tu repousas e descansasWhere thou lies low and takes thy rest
Na bela Kirkconnel lee.On fair Kirkconnel lee.
Desejo que meu túmulo cresça verde,I wish my grave was growing green,
Um lençol cobrindo meus olhos,A winding sheet put o'er my e'en,
E eu nos braços de Helen deitadoAnd I in Helen's arms lying
Na bela Kirkconnel lee!In fair Kirkconnel lee!
Desejo estar onde Helen descansa!I wish I were where Helen lies!
Dia e noite ela chora por mim:Night and day on me she cries:
Ah, se eu estivesse onde Helen descansaO that I were where Helen lies
Na bela Kirkconnel lee.On fair Kirkconnel lee.
