When I Was A Child

Quando Eu Era Criança

When I Was A Child

Quando eu era criançaWhen I was a child
Eu passava horas no fundo de um ônibus Greyhound cinza.I spent hours in the back of a Dark Greyhound bus.
Quando eu era criançaWhen I was a child
Eu ouvi meu pai xingar a bruxaI heard ma father curse the witch
Do painel de socos do bairro.The neighborhood punchboard.
Eu apertava os olhos bem forteI squeezed my eyes shut really tight
Sempre que passava pelo cemitério à noiteWhenever I drove by the cemetery at night
Mas durante o dia eu bebia uísque e fumava cigarrosBut during the day I drank whiskey and smoked cigarettes
No mesmo cemitério que me dava um medo danado à noite.In the same cemetery that scared the shit out of me at night.

Quando eu era criançaWhen I was a child
Com medo de descer pro porãoAfraid to go in the basement
Assustado com o que se escondia no escuro.Scared of what was hiding in the dark.
Quando eu era criança eu tinha um paiWhen I was a child I had a father
Que nunca me conheceu ou me viu crescer.Who never knew me or saw me grow up.
