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
