Spoon River Anthology — Page 11

English → Pt Full Text Level 4/10

And then, suppose;

E então, suponha;

You are a woman well endowed,

Você é uma mulher bem dotada,

And the only man with whom the law and morality

E o único homem com quem a lei e a moralidade

Permit you to have the marital relation

Permitem que você tenha a relação conjugal

Is the very man that fills you with disgust

É exatamente o homem que lhe enche de nojo

Every time you think of it while you think of it

Toda vez que você pensa nisso enquanto pensa nisso

Every time you see him?

Toda vez que você o vê?

That's why I drove him away from home

É por isso que o expulsei de casa

To live with his dog in a dingy room

Para viver com seu cachorro num quarto sombrio

Back of his office.

Nos fundos do seu escritório.

Reuben Pantier

Well, Emily Sparks, your prayers were not wasted,

Bem, Emily Sparks, suas orações não foram em vão,

Your love was not all in vain.

Seu amor não foi de todo inútil.

I owe whatever I was in life

Devo tudo o que fui na vida

To your hope that would not give me up,

À sua esperança que não desistiu de mim,

To your love that saw me still as good.

Ao seu amor que ainda me via como bom.

Dear Emily Sparks, let me tell you the story.

Querida Emily Sparks, deixe-me contar a história.

I pass the effect of my father and mother;

Deixo de lado a influência do meu pai e da minha mãe;

The milliner's daughter made me trouble

A filha da chapeleira me causou problemas

And out I went in the world,

E fui para o mundo,

Where I passed through every peril known

Onde passei por todos os perigos conhecidos

Of wine and women and joy of life.

De vinho e mulheres e alegrias da vida.

One night, in a room in the Rue de Rivoli,

Uma noite, num quarto na Rue de Rivoli,

I was drinking wine with a black-eyed cocotte,

Eu bebia vinho com uma cocotte de olhos negros,

And the tears swam into my eyes.

E as lágrimas inundaram meus olhos.

She though they were amorous tears and smiled

Ela pensou que eram lágrimas amorosas e sorriu

For thought of her conquest over me.

Pensando em sua conquista sobre mim.

But my soul was three thousand miles away,

Mas minha alma estava a três mil milhas de distância,

In the days when you taught me in Spoon River.

Nos dias em que você me ensinava em Spoon River.

And just because you no more could love me,

E justamente porque você não podia mais me amar,

Nor pray for me, nor write me letters,

Nem rezar por mim, nem me escrever cartas,

The eternal silence of you spoke instead.

O eterno silêncio de você falou em seu lugar.
