His Eyes Were Dark

Seus Olhos Eram Escuros

His Eyes Were Dark

Na sombra das rochas negrasIn the shadow of black rocks
Debaixo da proteção de raízes e ninhos de cobrasUnder the overhang of roots and snakes' nests
Lá Ele costumava sentar e cantarThere He used to sit and sing
Ele cantava suas cançõesHe sang his songs
Que ninguém entendia:Which nobody understood:

Ele era velho, cem, duzentos, trezentos anos?He was old a hundred, two hundred, three hundred years?
Ninguém sabia disso,Nobody knew it,
Talvez há milhares de anos ele esteja neste mundo,Maybe for thousands of years he has been in this world,
Talvez há milhares de anos ele esteja neste mundo:Maybe for thousands of years he has been in this world:

Seus olhos eram escuros,His eyes were dark,
Mas isso era por causa da sabedoria e de algo misterioso,But it was owing to wisdom and something mysterious,
Eles brilhavam e penetravam tudo,They sparkled and penetrated everything,
Quando Ele tocava seu instrumento,When He played on his instrument,
O céu escurecia e o vento se tornava silencioso.The sky grew dark and wind became silent.

Sobre planícies pedregosas só o vento correOver stony planes only wind runs
E sombras misteriosas sussurram suas histórias,And mysterious shadows whisper their stories,
Muitas delas Ele contou na sua rochaMany of them He told at His rock
E eu vivi todas elas com Ele.And I lived them all with Him.
