A pequena garota estava na beira do rio Little girl was down by the waterside Little girl was down by the waterside O sol tão quente e as rosas tão vermelhas onde ela se encontra The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie Enquanto pequenos garotos sentam e assistem enquanto ela rodopia ao redor As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around Sorriso ensolarados não uma nuvem de chuva podia trazer essa garota pra baixo Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down Mas agora... But now... But now... O que está atrás desses grandes olhos castanhos What's behind those big brown eyes What's behind those big brown eyes Você sonha a noite Do you dream at night Do you dream at night sem sua canção de dormir Without your lullaby Without your lullaby O garotinho se senta sozinho enquanto ele canta na escuridão Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark Pensando se os próprios sonhos dele os separaram Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart Ele canta uma canção sobre o amanhã que ele nunca poderá ver He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see A maioria das canções sobre a memoria perdida de uma garotinha Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory E agora... And now... And now... Enquanto os sonhos dele lampejam As his dreams go flashing by As his dreams go flashing by Ele começa a escutar He begins to hear He begins to hear uma triste canção de ninar A lonely lullaby A lonely lullaby Bem agora Well now... Well now... nós costumavamoscantar We used to sing We used to sing e nós costumavamos chorar And we used to cry And we used to cry durante todas as coisas Through everything Through everything em nossas canções de ninar In our children's lullaby In our children's lullaby Pequena garota na rua sem ninguém ao seu redor Little girl on the street with nobody around Little girl on the street with nobody around ela tem sua cabeça no ar e pés sujos no chão Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground Ela fecha seus olhos e pensa se isso é um erro She shuts her eyes and wonders if this is a mistake She shuts her eyes and wonders if this is a mistake Agora ela se foi do calor dos dias do garotinho dela Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days E continua... And still... And still... Ela acredita que ela ira se virar She believes that she'll get by She believes that she'll get by por ela mesma sem On her own without On her own without As canções de ninar do garotinho dela Her little boy's lullaby Her little boy's lullaby O pequeno garoto reza para Deus responder a canção dele Little boy prays to God to answer his song Little boy prays to God to answer his song para segurar a mão dela quando todos se forem To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone O tempo passa e as feridas lentamente tornam-se cicatrizes Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars Então ele faz seu desejo final na meia noite das estrelas So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars E ele grita... And he screams... And he screams... A pequena garota não vai ouvir meu choro Little girl won't you hear my cry Little girl won't you hear my cry Ela não voltará para casa Won't you come back home Won't you come back home Para a canção de ninar do seu amante To your lover's lullaby To your lover's lullaby Pequena garota na margem do rio Little girl down by the waterside Little girl down by the waterside Adeus Goodbye Goodbye
