Você usou uma pequena cruz de ouro ao redor do pescoço You wore a little cross of gold around your neck Eu vi isto como se você tivesse voado entre a minha razão I saw it as you flew between my reason Tal como um corvo na noite, quando você se foi Like a raven in the night time when you left Eu uso uma corrente no meu pulso que traz nome algum I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name Você a tocou e a usou You touched it and you wore it E você manteve-a no seu travesseiro, todas o mesmo And you kept it in your pillow all the same
Meu pássaro voando alto, voou para fora de meus braços My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms Eu pensava que era seu guardião I thought myself her keeper Ela pensou que eu iria machuca-la She thought I meant her harm Ela pensou que eu era o arqueiro She thought I was the archer Um homem do tempo de palavras A weather man of words Mas eu nunca poderia atirar But I could never shoot down Meu pássaro voando alto My high-flying bird
As paredes brancas do seu vestiário estão tingidas em vermelho escarlate The white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red Você sangrou sob a pedra fria como um homem jovem You bled upon the cold stone like a young man no estrangeiro campo da morte In the foreign field of death Não seria maravilhoso se todos ouvissem você dizer Wouldn't it be wonderful is all I heard you say Você nunca fechou seus olhos à noite e aprendeu a amar luz do dia You never closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight Pelo contrário, você se afastou Instead you moved away
My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms I thought myself her keeper She thought I meant her harm She thought I was the archer A weather man of words But I could never shoot down My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms I thought myself her keeper She thought I meant her harm She thought I was the archer A weather man of words But I could never shoot down My high-flying bird
My high-flying, high-flying bird My high-flying, high-flying bird My high-flying, high-flying bird My high-flying, high-flying bird
