Took Them Away

Nicholas invited me to visit at the farmNicholas me invitó a visitar la granja

We were playing in the yardEstábamos jugando en el patio

I saw them in the barnLos vi en el establo

White and black together satBlanco y negro juntos sentados

I just stood and staredSolo me quedé mirando

How was I to know what it all meant?¿Cómo iba a saber qué significaba todo eso?

Mr. Goldreich and his wife were generous to meEl Sr. Goldreich y su esposa fueron generosos conmigo

David in blue overalls came in to serve the teaDavid con overoles azules entró a servir el té

I had seen him in the barn, something wasn’t rightLo había visto en el establo, algo no estaba bien

As I told my father late that nightComo le conté a mi padre esa noche

So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them awayAsí que vinieron en una furgoneta de tintorería y se los llevaron, se los llevaron

One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them awayUn perro y una docena de hombres fuertes y se los llevaron, se los llevaron

On that Thursday according to planEse jueves según lo planeado

They took them away in a dry-cleaning vanSe los llevaron en una furgoneta de tintorería

I stood and watched by the side of the roadMe quedé mirando a un lado de la carretera

How could I know?¿Cómo podía saberlo?

How could I know?¿Cómo podía saberlo?

How was I to understand?¿Cómo iba a entenderlo?

How to make it right?¿Cómo arreglarlo?

As I ask our father every nightComo le pregunto a nuestro padre todas las noches
