Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Dez anos atrás, em uma noite fria e escura Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light Alguém foi morto, perto da luz da prefeitura There were few at the scene, but they all agreed There were few at the scene, but they all agreed Havia poucos na cena, mas todos concordaram That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me Que o assassino que correu, se parecia muito comigo The judge said son, what is your alibi The judge said son, what is your alibi O juiz disse filho, qual é o seu álibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die Se você estivesse em algum outro lugar, então você não tem que morrer I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life Eu não falei nada, o que significou minha vida For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife Pois estive nos braços da esposa do meu melhor amigo She walks these hills in a long black veil She walks these hills in a long black veil Ela andou por aquelas colinas em um véu preto e longo She visits my grave when the night winds wail She visits my grave when the night winds wail Ela visita meu túmulo quando os ventos noturnos lamentam Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, nobody sees Ninguém sabe, ninguém viu Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me Ninguém sabe além de mim Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near Ah, o andaime é alto e a eternidade está perto She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear Ela ficou na multidão e não derramou uma lágrima But late at night, when the north wind blows But late at night, when the north wind blows Mas tarde da noite, quando os ventos do norte sopram In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones Em um véu preto e longo, ela chora sobre meus ossos She walks these hills in a long black veil She walks these hills in a long black veil Ela andou por aquelas colinas em um véu preto e longo She visits my grave when the night winds wail She visits my grave when the night winds wail Ela visita meu túmulo quando os ventos noturnos lamentam Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, nobody sees Ninguém sabe, ninguém viu Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me Ninguém sabe além de mim
