"Song For A"

Era uma noite de Lammas
It was upon a Lammas night
Quando as plataformas de milho são adoráveis
When corn rigs are lovely
Sob a luz sem nuvens da lua
Beneath the Moon's unclouded light
Eu segurei Annie
I held away to Annie

O tempo voou, com atenção descuidada
The time flew by, with careless heed
Até, entre a escuridão e o amanhecer
‘Till, between the dark and dawn
Com pouca persuasão ela concordou
With small persuasion she agreed
Para me ver através da cevada
To see me thro' the barley
Para me ver através da cevada
To see me thro' the barley

O céu estava azul, o vento estava parado
The sky was blue, the wind was still
A lua estava brilhando claramente
The Moon was shining clearly
Eu a coloco no chão, com boa vontade
I set her down, with right good will
Entre as torres de cevada
Among the rigs of barley
Entre as torres de cevada
Among the rigs o' barley

Eu sabia que o coração dela era todo meu
I knew her heart was all my own
Eu a amei com muita sinceridade
I loved her most sincerely
Eu a beijei uma e outra vez
I kissed her over and over again
Entre as plataformas de cevada
Among the rigs of barley
Entre as plataformas de cevada
Among the rigs of barley

Mas pela lua e estrelas tão brilhantes
But by the Moon and stars so bright
Aquela hora brilhou tão claramente!
That shone that hour so clearly!
Ela sim abençoará aquela noite feliz
She aye shall bless that happy night
Entre as torres de cevada
Among the rigs o' barley
Entre as torres de cevada
Among the rigs o' barley

Tenho sido alegre com queridos camaradas;
I have been blythe with comrades dear
Eu tenho bebido feliz
I have been merry drinkin’
Tenho estado feliz juntando dinheiro
I have been joyfull gatherin money
Tenho sido feliz pensando
I have been happy thinkin’

Mas todos os prazeres que já vi
But all the pleasures ever I saw
Três vezes dobrou bastante
Tho' three times doubled fairly
Aquela noite feliz valeu a pena todos eles
That happy night was worth them all
Entre as plataformas de cevada
Among the rigs of barley
Entre as plataformas de cevada
Among the rigs of barley
