Father and I waved goodbye Father and I waved goodbye Papai e eu dissemos adeus As we went to look As we went to look À medida que fui olhar Uncle Peter was writing a book Uncle Peter was writing a book Tio Pedro estava escrevendo um livro And his mama was starting to cook and she's ageing And his mama was starting to cook and she's ageing E sua mãe estava começando a cozinhar e ela está envelhecendo We had come in search of one We had come in search of one Nós chegamos lá em busca de Who evades us all Who evades us all Quem foge a todos nós e Never heeds the call Never heeds the call Nunca dá ouvidos a chamada If only someone could stall this ageing If only someone could stall this ageing Se alguém pudesse parar este envelhecimento So I'll go and hope and know So I'll go and hope and know Então eu vou esperar e saber That my time is near That my time is near Que o meu tempo está próximo Laughing through the years Laughing through the years Rindo ao longo dos anos Having only fears of ageing Having only fears of ageing Tendo temores somente do envelhecimento
