We came in this world together We came in this world together Nós viemos neste mundo juntos Legs wrapped around each other Legs wrapped around each other Pernas enroladas em torno de si My cheek against my sister's My cheek against my sister's Minha bochecha contra a da minha irmã We were born like tangled vine We were born like tangled vine Nós nascemos como uma videira emaranhada We lived along the river We lived along the river Nós moramos ao longo do rio Where the black clouds never lingered Where the black clouds never lingered Onde as nuvens negras nunca se demoraram The sunlight spread like honey The sunlight spread like honey A luz do sol se espalhou como mel Through my sister's tiny hands Through my sister's tiny hands Através das minúsculas mãos da minha irmã But while picking sour apples But while picking sour apples Mas enquanto colhe maçãs azedas In the wild waving grasses In the wild waving grasses Nas gramíneas agitadas selvagens Sister stumbled in the briar Sister stumbled in the briar Irmã tropeçou no briar And was bitten by a snake And was bitten by a snake E foi mordido por uma cobra Every creature casts a shadow Every creature casts a shadow Toda criatura lança uma sombra Under the sun's golden fingers Under the sun's golden fingers Sob os dedos dourados do sol But when the sun sinks past the waving grass But when the sun sinks past the waving grass Mas quando o sol se afunda na grama ondulante Some shadows are dragged along Some shadows are dragged along Algumas sombras são arrastadas Alone, I took to drinking Alone, I took to drinking Sozinho, eu tomei para beber Bottles of cheap whiskey Bottles of cheap whiskey Garrafas de uísque barato And staggering through the back woods And staggering through the back woods E cambaleando pela floresta dos fundos Killing snakes with a sharpened stick Killing snakes with a sharpened stick Matando cobras com um pau afiado But still I heard her laughing But still I heard her laughing Mas ainda a ouvi rindo In those wild waving grasses In those wild waving grasses Naquelas ervas ondulantes selvagens Still her tiny hands went splashing Still her tiny hands went splashing Ainda suas pequenas mãos foram espirrando At the river's sparkling shore At the river's sparkling shore Na costa cintilante do rio So I took my rusty gas can So I took my rusty gas can Então peguei minha lata de gasolina enferrujada And an old iron shovel And an old iron shovel E uma velha pá de ferro I set the woods to burning I set the woods to burning Eu defino a floresta para queimar And choked the river up with stones And choked the river up with stones E sufocou o rio com pedras Every creature casts a shadow Every creature casts a shadow Toda criatura lança uma sombra Under the sun's golden fingers Under the sun's golden fingers Sob os dedos dourados do sol But when the sun sinks past the waving grass But when the sun sinks past the waving grass Mas quando o sol se afunda na grama ondulante Some shadows are dragged along Some shadows are dragged along Algumas sombras são arrastadas
