Snow
Glowing ash illuminates the naked branches of the trees
Flowers float like ghosts unharmed in the middle of the stream
The stale taste of smoke still permeates the air
But embers have yet to touch this earth
That both on which our homes both share
As the owl feather falls despite the wind
The comfort of its flight helps me to understand
The reasons the time in which were in
It blows away the shrouds
And the ashes fall like snow
We painted on your daughters
Face with the mud the rain had made
Then we all began to play make believe and left the bills unpaid
As the owl feather falls despite the wind
The comfort of its flight helps me to understand
The reasons the time in which were in
It blows away the shrouds
And the ashes fall like snow
Neve
As cinzas reluzentes iluminam os galhos nus das árvores
As flores flutuam como fantasmas inofensivos no meio do riacho
O sabor de fumaça velha ainda permeia o ar
Mas as brasas ainda hão de tocar essa terra
Compartilhada por ambas nossas casas
Conforme a pena da coruja cai, apesar da ventania,
O conforto de seu voo me ajuda a entender
As razões do tempo no qual estamos
Soprando os lençóis
E as cinzas caem como neve
Pintamos o rosto de suas filhas
Com a lama que a chuva deixou
Então, começamos todos a brincar de faz de conta e esquecemos de pagar as contas
Conforme a pena da coruja cai, apesar da ventania,
O conforto de seu voo me ajuda a entender
As razões do tempo no qual estamos
Soprando os lençóis
E as cinzas caem como neve
