The Urge For Going

A Vontade de Ir

The Urge For Going

Acordei hoje e vi a neve no chãoI woke up today and found snow perched on the ground
Ela pairava num céu congelado e engolia o verãoIt hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
Então, quando as folhas tremiamSo when the leaves were trembling
As árvores congeladas estavam em uma fila solitáriaFrozen trees were standing in a lonely row

Eu sinto a vontade de ir, mas nunca consigo irI get the urge for going but I never seem to go
E eu sinto a vontade de ir quando a grama do campo fica marromAnd I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
E o verão tá caindo e o inverno tá chegandoAnd summertime is falling down and winter's moving in

Eu tive um amor no verão com a pele da cor do verãoI had a love in summertime with summer-colored skin
E não havia outra na cidade que o coração da minha amada pudesse ganharAnd not another one in town my darling's heart could win
Mas quando o céu ficou traiçoeiro e frioBut when the sky turned traitor cold
E os ventos valentões esfregaram o nariz na neveAnd bully winds did rub their noses in the snow

Ela sentiu a vontade de ir e eu tive que deixá-la irShe got the urge for going and I had to let her go
E ela sentiu a vontade de ir quando a grama do campo estava ficando marromAnd she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
O verão estava caindo e o inverno tá chegandoSummertime was falling down and winter's moving in

Os guerreiros do inverno deram um grito triunfante e frioThe warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
Agora tudo que morre fica e tudo que vive tá saindoNow all that dies is staying and all that lives is getting out
Veja os gansos em voo em forma de chevronSee the geese in chevron flight
Batendo as asas e voando pelo céu nuFlurrying and flapping through the naked sky

Eles sentem a vontade de irThey got the urge for going
Eles têm asas pra voarThey've got the wings to fly
Eles sentem a vontade de ir quando a grama do campo fica marromThey get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
E o verão tá caindo e o inverno tá chegandoAnd summertime is falling down and winter's moving in

Vou alimentar o fogo com gravetos e puxar os cobertores até o queixoI'll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
Vou trancar o inverno vagabundo pra fora e deixar meu espírito errante entrarI'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in
Eu gostaria de chamar o verão de voltaI'd like to call back summertime
E pedir pra ela ficar mais um mês ou maisAnd ask her just to stay another month or so

Mas ela sentiu a vontade de irBut she got the urge for going
Acho que ela vai ter que irI guess she'll have to go
E ela sentiu a vontade de ir quando a grama do campo estava ficando marromAnd she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
O verão tá caindo e o inverno tá chegandoSummertime is falling down and winter's moving in
E ela sentiu a vontade de ir quando a grama do campo estava ficando marromAnd she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
Todos os meus impérios caíram e o inverno tá chegandoAll my empires are fallen down and winter's moving in
