Glowing ash illuminates the naked branches of the trees Flowers float like ghosts unharmed in the middle of the stream The stale taste of smoke still permeates the air But embers have yet to touch this earth That both on which our homes both share As the owl feather falls despite the wind The comfort of its flight helps me to understand The reasons the time in which were in It blows away the shrouds And the ashes fall like snow We painted on your daughters Face with the mud the rain had made Then we all began to play make believe and left the bills unpaid As the owl feather falls despite the wind The comfort of its flight helps me to understand The reasons the time in which were in It blows away the shrouds And the ashes fall like snow As cinzas reluzentes iluminam os galhos nus das árvores As flores flutuam como fantasmas inofensivos no meio do riacho O sabor de fumaça velha ainda permeia o ar Mas as brasas ainda hão de tocar essa terra Compartilhada por ambas nossas casas Conforme a pena da coruja cai, apesar da ventania, O conforto de seu voo me ajuda a entender As razões do tempo no qual estamos Soprando os lençóis E as cinzas caem como neve Pintamos o rosto de suas filhas Com a lama que a chuva deixou Então, começamos todos a brincar de faz de conta e esquecemos de pagar as contas Conforme a pena da coruja cai, apesar da ventania, O conforto de seu voo me ajuda a entender As razões do tempo no qual estamos Soprando os lençóis E as cinzas caem como neve
