Between The Two Of Them

Entre Os Dois

Between The Two Of Them

Eles se casaram em quarenta e doisThey married back in forty-two
Eram jovens e o amor era novoThey were young and love was new
E a cada dia esse sentimento cresciaAnd every day that feeling grew
Entre os doisBetween the two of them
Quando o trabalho escasseou e os tempos ficaram difíceisWhen work grew scarce and times got bad
A esperança afastava a tristezaThe hope would chase away the sad
E a esperança era às vezes tudo o que tinhamAnd hope was sometimes all they had
Entre os doisBetween the two of them

Os anos cinquenta chegaram e os sessenta se foramThe fifties came and the sixties went
Uma hipoteca substituiu o aluguelA mortgage note replaced the rent
E eles aproveitaram ao máximo cada dia vividoAnd they made the most of each day spent
Entre os doisBetween the two of them
As crianças cresceram bemThe children all turned out just fine
Ele se aposentou em sessenta e noveHe retired in sixty-nine
Partiu com tão pouco tempoLeft with oh so little time
Entre os doisBetween the two of them

Hoje enfrentei a chuva do cemitérioToday I braved the graveyard rain
E coloquei uma rosa entre seus nomesAnd placed a rose between their names
Agora isso é o máximo que já aconteceuNow that's the most that ever came
Entre os doisBetween the two of them
Oh, eu sinto falta de ambos tantoOh I miss them both so much
O sorriso torto dele, o toque suave delaHis crooked smile her gentle touch
E o prazer de simplesmente crescerAnd the pleasure of just growing up
Entre os doisBetween the two of them
