The Giant Of Illinois

O gigante de Illinois

The Giant Of Illinois

O gigante de Illinois
The giant of Illinois
Morreu de uma bolha no dedo do pé
Died from a blister on his toe
Depois de caminhar o dia todo pela primeira neve do inverno
After walking all day through the first winter snow

Lançando pedaços de pão amanhecido
Throwing bits of stale bread
Para as últimas pombas salpicadas
To the last speckled doves
Ele nunca sentiu o sapato cheio de sangue
He never even felt his shoe full of blood

Delirando de dor, as paredes de seu quarto começaram a brilhar
Delirious with pain, his bedroom walls began to glow
E ele se sentiu subindo pela neve caindo
And he felt himself soaring up through falling snow
E o céu era braços de mulher
And the sky was a woman's arms
O céu era braços de mulher
The sky was a woman's arms

Um menino com um pé torto
A boy with a club foot
Tinha sentado ao lado dele na escola
Had sat next to him in school
Uma vez em um dia de verão
Once upon a summer's day
Eles foram vagando pela floresta
They went wandering through the woods

Eles avistaram um cisne adormecido
They spotted a sleeping swan
Nas margens de um riacho lamacento
On the banks of a muddy stream
E eles atacaram com pedras até desmoronarem nos juncos
And they stormed it with rocks till it collapsed in the reeds

Eles colocam em um gramado verde cheio de chocolate e limonada
They lay out on a green lawn full of chocolate and lemonade
Mas debaixo da tigela azul o gigante estava com medo
But under the blue bowl the giant was afraid
Porque o céu era de mulher
Because the sky was a woman's arms
O céu era braços de mulher
The sky was a woman's arms
