Ballad of Ballina

Oh, o padre e a freira fugiramOh the priest and the nun they went on the run
Por causa dos votos que fizeramFor the vows that they had taken
Agora eles tinham abandonadoThey had now forsaken
Então pularam no trem e viram a chuva cairSo they jumped a train and watched the pouring rain
Enquanto caía do céu, caía do céuAs it fell from the sky, it fell from the sky

Quando chegaram na cidade de DublinWhen they got to Dublin city
Oh, as paisagens eram tão lindasOh the sights they were so pretty
E o sol começou a brilharAnd the sun it started shining
Enquanto ele olhava nos olhos delaAs he stared into her eyes

Oh, meu amor, eu te prometoOh my love, I promise you
Oh, meu amor, eu serei fielOh my love, I will be true

De volta a Ballina, a notícia se espalhou rápidoBack in Ballina the word was spreadin' fast
As línguas estavam soltasThe tongues they were waggin'
E a primeira pedra foi lançadaAnd the first stone it was cast
Uma paróquia em polvorosaA parish up in arms
O bispo veio dizerThe bishop came to say
Sinto muito pelos seus problemas, mas preciso seguir meu caminhoI'm sorry for your troubles, but I must be on my way

Quando chegaram na cidade de DublinWhen they go to Dublin city
Oh, as paisagens eram tão lindasOh the sights they were so pretty
E o sol começou a brilharAnd the sun it started shining
Enquanto ele olhava nos olhos delaAs he stared into her eyes

Oh, meu amor, eu te prometoOh my love, I promise you
Oh, meu amor, eu serei fielOh my love, I will be true

Com o passar dos anos, o amor deles não morreuAs the years rolled by, their love it didn't die
Não, o amor deles cresceu e cresceuNo their love it grew and grew
Ninguém tinha a menor ideiaNot a sole had had a clue
Que o padre e a freiraThat the priest and the nun
Que fugiramThat went on the run
Tinham vivido uma vida de pecadoHad lived a life of sin
Tinham vivido uma vida de pecadoHad lived a life of sin

Quando chegaram na cidade de DublinWhen they go to Dublin city
Oh, as paisagens eram tão lindasOh the sights they were so pretty
E o sol começou a brilharAnd the sun it started shining
Enquanto ele olhava nos olhos delaAs he stared into her eyes

Oh, meu amor, eu te prometoOh my love, I promise you
Oh, meu amor, eu serei fielOh my love, I will be true
