Village on the Sand
Saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea
Strangers ne'er were welcome but for curiosity
But come they did and when they did ready they did stand
And things would never be the same in our Village on the Sand...
When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide
When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide
When the pirates disembarked they were making plans
And from then on things were not the same in our Village on the Sand...
The smugglers came into our town and many sought to run
I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one
Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand
He was different than others in my Village on the Sand...
He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seas
Then he spoke a poet's words of philosophy
And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand
And I knew I'd never see again my Village on the Sand...
Aldeia No Areal
Avistaram três veleiros vindos do mar
Estranhos não eram bem-vindos, exceto pela curiosidade
Mas se convidaram, e, quando prontos, vieram e ali ficaram
E as coisas nunca mais seriam as mesmas na nossa Aldeia no Areal...
Quando os barcos atracaram no cais os moradores se esconderam
Quando o problema vinha, geralmente era trazido pela maré
Enquanto desembarcavam, os piratas faziam planos
E a partir daí as coisas não foram mais as mesmas em nossa Aldeia no Areal...
Os saqueadores vieram à nossa cidade e muitos buscaram refúgio
Mantive-me firme e forte e enfrentei um deles
O tempo e as viagens pelo mar envelheceram-lhe a face e as mãos
Ele era diferente dos outros em minha Aldeia no Areal...
Ele me contou sobre os anos que passou em mares tempestuosos
Então ele pronunciou filosofias de um poeta
E quando ele precisou partir novamente, pediu-me em casamento
E eu soube que nunca mais veria novamente minha Aldeia no Areal...
