The Wicked Messenger

O Mensageiro Mau

The Wicked Messenger

Havia
There was
Um mau mensageiro
A wicked messenger
De Eli ele veio,
From Eli he did come
Com uma mente
With a mind
Que multiplica
That multiplied
As coisas de pouca importancia
The smallest matter
Quando questionado
When questioned
Quem tinha enviado ele,
Who had sent for him
Respondeu
He answered
Com seu polegar,
With his thumb
Porque sua lingua
For his tongue
Não poderia falar,
It could not speak
Mas apenas avizar
But only flatter

Permaneceu atrás
He stayed behind
do salão,
The assembly hall
Era lá
It was there
Que ele fez sua cama,
He made his bed
Em breve
Oftentimes
Ele estaria
He could be
Retornando.
Seen returning
Até que um dia
Until one day
Ele apareceu
He just appeared
Com uma nota
With a note
Em sua mão
In his hand
E ele leu,
Which read
"As solas de meus pés,
The soles of my feet
eu juro
I swear
estão queimando".
They're burning

Oh, as folhas
Oh, the leaves
Começaram a cair
Began to fallin'
E os mares
And the seas
Começaram a partir,
Began to part
E as pessoas
And the people
Que o confrontaram
That confronted him
Eram muitas
Were many
E ele foi avisado
And he was told
Mas estas poucas palavras,
But these few words
Dais quais abriram
Which opened up
Seu coração
His heart
"Se você não pode trazer
If ye cannot bring
boas notícias,
Good news
não traga nenhuma."
Then don't bring any
