Fitas Escarlates

Scarlett Ribbons

Eu olhei pra dizer boa noiteI peeked in to say good-night
Quando ouvi minha filha orandoWhen I heard my child in prayer
E pra mim algumas fitas escarlatesAnd for me some Scarlet Ribbons
Fitas escarlates pro meu cabeloScarlet Ribbons for my hair

Todas as lojas estavam fechadasAll the stores were closed
E trancadasAnd shuttered
Todas as ruasAll the streets
Estavam escuras e vaziasWere dark and bare
Na nossa cidade, nenhuma fita escarlateIn our town no Scarlet Ribbons
Nem uma fita pro cabelo delaNot one ribbon for her hair

Durante a noite meu coração doíaThru the night my heart was aching
Logo antes do amanhecerJust before the dawn was breaking
Eu olhei e na cama delaI peeked in and on her bed
Em alegre profusão ali estavamIn gay profusion lying there
Lindas fitas, fitas escarlatesLovely ribbons, Scarlet Ribbons
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo delaScarlet Ribbons for her hair

Se eu viver até os cem anosIf I live to be a hundred
Nunca vou saber de onde vieramI will never know from where
Aquelas lindas fitas escarlatesCame those lovely Scarlet Ribbons
Fitas escarlates pro cabelo delaScarlet Ribbons for her hair

Fitas escarlatesScarlet Ribbons
Há mágica no arThere's magic in the air
Fitas escarlates, fitas escarlatesScarlet, Scarlet Ribbons
Pro cabelo delaFor her hair
