Echoes down water wellsEcos bajando por pozos de agua
Picked up in sacred spirographRecogidos en un espirógrafo sagrado
Weekend and winter's unendable bendable babyFin de semana e invierno, bebé flexible e interminable
They buried him next to his first wifeLo enterraron junto a su primera esposa
His widow watched from under a visorSu viuda observaba desde debajo de una visera
Daughter tried to keep her out of the sun that was blazingSu hija intentaba mantenerla fuera del sol que ardía
Oh, ohOh, oh
Then the sun went downLuego el sol se puso
And she went to sleepY ella se fue a dormir
She lays her burden downDeja su carga
She don't need to sleepNo necesita dormir
When they were done they went back homeCuando terminaron, regresaron a casa
To a house he built with opposable thumbsA una casa que él construyó con pulgares oponibles
When they were so much youngerCuando eran mucho más jóvenes
Oh, ohOh, oh
Five years later she died in her houseCinco años después ella murió en su casa
All the breath that blows all the dust aroundTodo el aliento que sopla el polvo alrededor
It just keeps on siftingSimplemente sigue filtrándose
Oh, ohOh, oh
Then the sun went downLuego el sol se puso
And she went to sleepY ella se fue a dormir
She lays her burden downDeja su carga
She don't need to sleep, oh noNo necesita dormir, oh no
Echoes down water wellsEcos bajando por pozos de agua
Picked up in sacred spirographRecogidos en un espirógrafo sagrado
Weekend and winter's unendable bendable babyFin de semana e invierno, bebé flexible e interminable
