Sobre a ponte fria de pedras cinzentas On the cold bridge of grey stones Situou-se o ancião em seu manto cinzento Stood the old man in his grey robe Abrindo seus barris de carvalho Opening his oak barrels Despejando-os no rio Pouring them to the river
Então começou a despejar So began the pouring Luz gélida Light frozen Caindo a neve Down snowing
A luz estava enfraquecendo Light was weakening Cinzas eram as cortinas Grey was the curtain Longas eram as margens Wide were the shores Do cinza e verdes mares Of the grey and green seas Era final It was final
