Final de Novembro

Late November

O vinho foi bebido, o navio afundou,The wine it was drunk, the ship it was sunk,
O tiro foi certeiro, todas as mágoas se afogaram.The shot it was dead, all the sorrows were drowned.
Os pássaros eram nuvens, as noivas e os caixõesThe birds they were clouds, the brides and the shrouds
E enquanto íamos pro sul, a névoa desceu.And as we drew south the mist it came down.

O vale arborizado pro rio errante,The wooded ravine to the wandering stream,
A serpente se moveu, mas ninguém disse nada.The serpent he moved, but no-one would say.
As profundezas das águas, a ponte que nos atormentouThe depths of the waters, the bridge which distraught us
E trouxe a mim lembranças do dia maldito.And brought to me thoughts of the ill-fated day.

Os templos estavam cheios das criaturas mais estranhasThe temples were filled with the strangest of creatures
Um tocava de ouvido nas margens do mar.One played it by ear on the banks of the sea.
Aquele foi encontrado, mas os outros se afundaram.That one was found but the others they went under.
Oh, as lágrimas que caem, não virão de mim.Oh the tears which are shed, they won't come from me.

Os métodos da loucura, o patético e a tristeza,The methods of madness, the pathos and the sadness,
Deus ajude a todos, os insanos e sábios.God help you all, the insane and wise.
O preto e o branco, a escuridão da noite,The black and the white, the darkness of the night,
Só vejo fumaça das chaminés subindo.I see only smoke from the chimneys arise.

O piloto voou por todo o céu e me acordou.The pilot he flew all across the sky and woke me.
Ele voou solo no mar de mercúrio.He flew solo on the mercury sea.
O sonho voltou, tudo sobre os altos povos marrons,The dream it came back, all about the tall brown people,
O sagrado jovem rebanho na areia de fósforo.The sacred young herd on the phosphorus sand.
