The Song Of a Hundred Toads

A canção de cem sapos

The Song Of a Hundred Toads

No meu caminho para as minas de ouro, cruzando as colinas do oeste
On my way out to the gold mines, crossing the western hills
Eu e meu cachorrinho Clyde e um cavalo chamado Prancing Bill
Me and my little dog Clyde and a horse named Prancing Bill
Eu dormi sob as estrelas, ouvi os coiotes cantarem
I slept under the stars, I heard the coyotes sing
E o sol era uma moeda de ouro brilhando só para mim
And the sun was a golden coin shining just for me
O sol brilhou só pra mim
The sun shone just for me

Mas no alto das montanhas, Bill começou a espumar
But high up in the mountains, Bill began to foam
E quando eu chicoteei e puxei ele, ele resistiu contra sua carga
And as I whipped and tugged him, he bucked against his load
Em torno de uma curva fechada, a carroça caiu
Around a hairpin turn, the wagon tumbled o'er
E pelas rochas irregulares, Bill caiu com tudo o que possuía
And down the jagged rocks, Bill fell with all I owned
Ele caiu com tudo o que eu possuí
He fell with all I owned

Quando o sol morreu, os coiotes começaram a uivar
As the sun died out, coyotes began to howl
A cabeça de Little Clyde se levantou e respondeu com um grunhido
Little Clyde's head rose and answered with a growl
Mas quando me inclinei para ligar para ele, ele atirou em mim e correu
But when I bent to call him, he snapped at me and ran
E então eu estava sozinho nas rochas silenciosas e areia
And then I was alone in the silent rocks and sand
As rochas silenciosas e areia
The silent rocks and sand

No meu quinto dia de caminhada, eu estava rastejando de joelhos
By my fifth day of walking, I was crawling on my knees
Em punhados de poeira entre as ervas daninhas que morrem
In handfuls of dust from between the dying weeds
Eu deitei na terra enquanto o sol perdia seu brilho
I laid down in the dirt as the sun lost her glow
Mas fui recebido no escuro pela música de uma centena de sapos
But I was welcomed in the dark by the song of a hundred toads
A canção de cem sapos
The song of a hundred toads

A canção de cem sapos
The song of a hundred toads
A canção de cem sapos
The song of a hundred toads
A canção de cem sapos
The song of a hundred toads
