Scarlett Ribbons
I peeked in to say good-night
When I heard my child in prayer
And for me some Scarlet Ribbons
Scarlet Ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed
And shuttered
All the streets
Were dark and bare
In our town no Scarlet Ribbons
Not one ribbon for her hair
Thru the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, Scarlet Ribbons
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair
If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely Scarlet Ribbons
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair
Scarlet Ribbons
There's magic in the air
Scarlet, Scarlet Ribbons
For her hair
Fitas Escarlates
Eu olhei pra dizer boa noite
Quando ouvi minha filha orando
E pra mim algumas fitas escarlates
Fitas escarlates pro meu cabelo
Todas as lojas estavam fechadas
E trancadas
Todas as ruas
Estavam escuras e vazias
Na nossa cidade, nenhuma fita escarlate
Nem uma fita pro cabelo dela
Durante a noite meu coração doía
Logo antes do amanhecer
Eu olhei e na cama dela
Em alegre profusão ali estavam
Lindas fitas, fitas escarlates
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela
Se eu viver até os cem anos
Nunca vou saber de onde vieram
Aquelas lindas fitas escarlates
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo dela
Fitas escarlates
Há mágica no ar
Fitas escarlates, fitas escarlates
Pro cabelo dela
