| Through frozen fields we walked along
| A través de campos helados caminamos a lo largo
|
| Entering the woods before dawn
| Entrar en el bosque antes del amanecer
|
| Waiting for the sun to thaw the land
| Esperando que el sol descongele la tierra
|
| Just fourteen trying to be a man
| Sólo catorce tratando de ser un hombre
|
| In a restless voice, I spoke as a child
| Con voz inquieta hablé como un niño
|
| Cold and tired
| frío y cansado
|
| When the sunrise broke, I stood by your side
| Cuando amaneció, me paré a tu lado
|
| Weary eyed
| ojos cansados
|
| With a gun in my hand
| Con un arma en mi mano
|
| A secret I keep to myself
| Un secreto que guardo para mí
|
| Is that I had no taste for the kill
| es que no tenia gusto para matar
|
| Oh but I loved to be at his side
| Oh, pero me encantaba estar a su lado
|
| Alone in the woods, my father and I
| Solos en el bosque, mi padre y yo
|
| In a restless voice, I spoke as a child
| Con voz inquieta hablé como un niño
|
| Cold and tired
| frío y cansado
|
| When the sunrise broke, I stood by your side
| Cuando amaneció, me paré a tu lado
|
| Weary eyed
| ojos cansados
|
| With a gun in my hand
| Con un arma en mi mano
|
| I saw him standing on the hill
| Lo vi parado en la colina
|
| A twelve point buck beautiful and still
| Un dólar de doce puntos hermoso y quieto
|
| I clapped my hands to scare him away
| Aplaudí mis manos para asustarlo
|
| When I saw my father taking aim
| Cuando vi a mi padre apuntando
|
| Then a shot rang out, my ears went numb, and my heart beat wild
| Entonces sonó un disparo, mis oídos se entumecieron y mi corazón latió salvajemente.
|
| I could see him fall, his panic and pain, as I ran to his side
| Pude verlo caer, su pánico y dolor, mientras corría a su lado
|
| He was clinging to life, as I stroked my hand on his blood soaked attire
| Se aferraba a la vida, mientras yo acariciaba con mi mano su atuendo empapado de sangre.
|
| In a restless voice, Saint Peter, I cried, don’t let him die
| Con voz inquieta, San Pedro, lloré, no lo dejes morir
|
| With a gun in my hand | Con un arma en mi mano |
