Let me tell you a story to chill the bones Let me tell you a story to chill the bones Deixe-me contar uma história de arrepiar About a thing that I saw About a thing that I saw Sobre uma coisa que eu vi One night wandering in the everglades One night wandering in the everglades Uma noite vagando pelos pantanais I'd one drink but no more I'd one drink but no more Eu tinha bebido um drink, nada mais I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight Eu estava vagando, Aproveitando a brilhante luz da lua Gazing up at the stars Gazing up at the stars Olhando as estrelas Not aware of a presence so near to me Not aware of a presence so near to me Não percebi a presença tão perto de mim Watching my every move Watching my every move Observando cada movimento meu Feeling scared and I fell to my knees Feeling scared and I fell to my knees Com medo eu cai de joelhos As something rushed me from the trees As something rushed me from the trees Enquanto alguém correu de trás das árvores Took me to an unholy place Took me to an unholy place Levou-me para um lugar profano And that is where I fell from grace And that is where I fell from grace E foi lá que eu cai em desgraça Then they summoned me over to join in with them Then they summoned me over to join in with them Então eles me invocaram para juntar-me a eles To the dance of the dead To the dance of the dead À dança dos mortos Into the circle of fire I followed them Into the circle of fire I followed them Para dentro do círculo de fogo eu os segui Into the middle I was led Into the middle I was led Para o centro eu fui levado As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear Como se o tempo tivesse parado Eu ainda estava entorpecido pelo medo But still I wanted to go But still I wanted to go Mas eu ainda queria ir And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me E as chamas do fogo Não me feriram As I walked onto the coals As I walked onto the coals Enquanto eu andava sobre o carvão And I felt I was in a trance And I felt I was in a trance E eu senti que estava em transe And my spirit was lifted from me And my spirit was lifted from me E meu espírito foi levado de mim And if only someone had the chance And if only someone had the chance Se alguém ao menos tivesse a chance To witness what happened to me To witness what happened to me De testemunhar o que aconteceu comigo And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them E eu dancei e eu pulei E eu cantei com eles All had death in their eyes All had death in their eyes Todos tinham a morte em seus olhos Lifeless figures they were undead all of them Lifeless figures they were undead all of them Figuras sem vida Todos eles eram mortos-vivos They had ascended from hell They had ascended from hell Eles vieram do inferno As I danced with the dead As I danced with the dead Enquanto eu dançava com os mortos My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me Meu espírito livre estava rindo E uivando para mim Below my undead body Below my undead body Sob meu corpo morto-vivo Just danced the circle of dead Just danced the circle of dead Apenas dançava o círculo dos mortos Until the time came to reunite us both Until the time came to reunite us both Até que chegue a hora de nos reunirmos My spirit came back down to me My spirit came back down to me Meu espírito voltou para mim I didn't know if I was alive or dead I didn't know if I was alive or dead Eu não sabia se estava vivo ou morto As the others all joined in with me As the others all joined in with me Enquanto os outros juntavam-se a mim By luck then a skirmish started By luck then a skirmish started Por sorte um barulho começou And took the attention away from me And took the attention away from me E tirou a atenção de todos de mim When they took their gaze from me When they took their gaze from me Quando eles desviaram o olhar de mim Was the moment that I fled Was the moment that I fled Foi o momento em que fugi I ran like hell faster than the wind I ran like hell faster than the wind Corri como nunca mais rápido que o vento But behind I did not glance But behind I did not glance Mas eu não olhei para trás One thing that I did not dare One thing that I did not dare Uma coisa que eu não me atreveria Was to look just straight ahead Was to look just straight ahead Era olhar apenas para frente When you know that your time has come around When you know that your time has come around Quando você sabe Que seu tempo deve voltar You know you'll be prepared for it You know you'll be prepared for it Você sabe que estará preparado pra isso Say your last goodbyes to everyone Say your last goodbyes to everyone Diga seus últimos adeus para todos Drink and say a prayer for it Drink and say a prayer for it Beba e reze por isso When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed Quando você está dormindo, quando você está deitado em sua cama And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead E você acorda de seus sonhos para ir dançar com os mortos When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed Quando você está dormindo, quando você está deitado em sua cama And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead E você acorda de seus sonhos para ir dançar com os mortos To this day I guess I'll never know To this day I guess I'll never know Sobre este dia eu acho que nunca saberei Just why they let me go Just why they let me go Por que eles me deixaram partir But I'll never go dancing no more But I'll never go dancing no more Mas eu nunca mais dançarei 'Til I dance with the dead 'Til I dance with the dead Até que eu dance com os mortos.
