Como se você fosse jogar um osso pra um cachorro! He died drunk one mornin' He died drunk one mornin' Ele morreu bêbado uma manhã Alone in the land he fought to save Alone in the land he fought to save Sozinho na terra que ele lutou para salvar Two inches of water in a lonely ditch Two inches of water in a lonely ditch Dois centímetros de água em uma vala solitária Was a grave for Ira Hayes Was a grave for Ira Hayes Foi uma sepultura para Ira Hayes CHORUS: CHORUS: Refrão: Call him drunken Ira Hayes Call him drunken Ira Hayes Chamá-lo de bêbado Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore He won't answer anymore Ele não vai responder mais Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Não é bebendo o uísque indígena Nor the Marine that went to war Nor the Marine that went to war Nem da Marinha que foi à guerra Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes Sim, chamá-lo de Ira Hayes bêbado But his land is just as dry But his land is just as dry Mas a sua terra é tão seca And his ghost is lyin' thirsty And his ghost is lyin' thirsty E o seu fantasma está deitado com sede In the ditch where Ira died In the ditch where Ira died Na vala onde Ira morreu
