Riverwide

I was a lonely little childEra un niño solitario

On the banks of a river wideEn las orillas de un río ancho

She was most beautiful and blueElla era la más hermosa y azul

And had rest on the other sideY descansaba al otro lado

Unfurling foamEspuma desplegándose

Far from every stoneLejos de cada piedra

And the trees began to swayY los árboles comenzaron a mecerse

Lost my life in a roaring river widePerdí mi vida en un río ancho y rugiente

Just to be with you that daySolo para estar contigo ese día

No bridge, no boatSin puente, sin bote

No way to stay afloatSin forma de mantenerme a flote

As I began to crossMientras comenzaba a cruzar

I was caught and kept in a current that could crushFui atrapado y mantenido en una corriente que podía aplastar

And within the waves was lostY dentro de las olas me perdí

As my arms feigned and the water overcameMientras mis brazos fingían y el agua me vencía

The waves began to singLas olas comenzaron a cantar

And in my ears, I swear to you my dearY en mis oídos, te juro mi querida

Was a lovely silver ringHabía un hermoso anillo de plata

I was a lonely little childEra un niño solitario

In love with a silvery soundEnamorado de un sonido plateado

Would you shed a tear for me my dear¿Derramarías una lágrima por mí, mi querida?

For on that day I drownedPorque en ese día me ahogué
