Sea of Rum

Mar de Rum

Sea of Rum

São Miguel, o arcanjoSaint Michael, the archangel
Desceu e expulsou o diaboCame down and he ran out the devil
O diabo foi se esconder numa cidade pesqueiraThe devil went and hid in a fishing town
Agora ele vive na praia do Long Island SoundNow he lives off the beach off Long Island Sound

E ele toca seus tambores à beira do mar de rumAnd he plays his drums by the sea of rum
Fica de boa ao sol o dia todo, vendo os barcos zarparSit in the sun all day, watching ships sail away
Então Miguel o colocaria de volta no chãoThen Michael would put him back in the ground
Mas ele não vai encontrar o diabo na cidade de StanfordBut he won't find the devil in Stanford town

Quando eu era mais jovem, me meti em encrencaWhen I was younger I got in trouble
Eu era marinheiro, me deixei levar pela bebidaI was a sailor, I fell for the bottle
De todos os lugares que já fuiOf all the places I was ever sent
Encontrei o diabo na costa de ConnecticutI met the devil off the coast of Connecticut

E ele tocava seus tambores à beira do mar de rumAnd he played his drums by the sea of rum
Fiquei acordado a noite toda e bebi até acordar na celaStayed up all night and drank until I woke in the tank
E Miguel o colocaria de volta no chãoand Michael would put him back in the ground
Mas ele não vai encontrar o diabo na cidade de StanfordBut he won't find the devil in Stanford town

E ele tocava seus tambores à beira do mar de rumAnd he played his drums by the sea of rum
Cartas nas mangas, caem como folhasCards up his sleeves they fall like leafs
Guarde grana, quando o dia acabarSave money, when the day is done
Porque eu vou voltar na sua porta quando meu dinheiro acabarCause I'll be back at your door when my money's gone
