Don't Pay the Ferryman [Edit]

Chris De Burgh

Lyrics Translation

It was late at night on the open road
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
He is closer now and the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind
Yes, there's the ragged hill
And there's the boat on the river

And when the rain came down
He heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night (don't do it)
Voices out of sight (don't do it)
Too many men have failed before
Whatever you do

Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side

In the rolling mist, then he gets on board
Now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
And people calling out his name (name, name, name)
And dancing bones that jabbered and a moaned on the water

And then the ferryman said
There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now (don't do it)
You must pay me now (don't do it)
And still that voice came from beyond
Whatever you do

Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side

Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side

Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side

Don't pay the ferryman

It was late at night on the open road
Era tarde da noite na estrada livre
Speeding like a man on the run
Acelerando como um homem em fuga
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
Uma vida inteira se preparando para a jornada
He is closer now and the search is on
Ele está mais perto agora e a busca está andando
Reading from a map in the mind
Lendo de uma mapa de cabeça
Yes, there's the ragged hill
Sim, colina irregular
And there's the boat on the river
E há um barco no rio
And when the rain came down
E quando chuva caiu
He heard a wild dog howl
Ele escutou uma cachorro selvagem uivar
There were voices in the night (don't do it)
Haviam vozes na noite (não faça isso)
Voices out of sight (don't do it)
Vozes fora de vista (não faça isso)
Too many men have failed before
Muitos homens falharam antes
Whatever you do
O que quer que você faça
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Don't even fix a price
Nem mesmo acertar um preço
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Until he gets you to the other side
Até que ele te levo ao outro lado
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board
Em uma névoa para ele embarcar
Now there'll be no turning back
Agora não haverá caminho de volta
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
Cuidado com aquele velho encapuzado no leme
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
E então o relâmpago acendeu, e o trovão rugiu
And people calling out his name (name, name, name)
E pessoas chamando seu nome (nome, nome, nome)
And dancing bones that jabbered and a moaned on the water
E ossos dançantes falavam e gemiam na água
And then the ferryman said
E então o barqueiro disse
There is trouble ahead
Há um problema a frente
So you must pay me now (don't do it)
Então você deve me pagar agora (não faça isso)
You must pay me now (don't do it)
Você deve me pagar agora (não faça isso)
And still that voice came from beyond
E ainda aquela voz veio do além
Whatever you do
O que quer que você faça
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Don't even fix a price
Nem mesmo acertar um preço
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Until he gets you to the other side
Até que ele te levo ao outro lado
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Don't even fix a price
Nem mesmo acertar um preço
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Until he gets you to the other side
Até que ele te levo ao outro lado
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Don't even fix a price
Nem mesmo acertar um preço
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Until he gets you to the other side
Até que ele te levo ao outro lado
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Don't even fix a price
Nem mesmo acertar um preço
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
Until he gets you to the other side
Até que ele te levo ao outro lado
Don't pay the ferryman
Não pague o barqueiro
It was late at night on the open road
Era tarde en la noche en la carretera
Speeding like a man on the run
Corriendo como un hombre apurado
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
Pasé toda una vida preparándome para el viaje
He is closer now and the search is on
Él está cerca ahora y la búsqueda ha empezado
Reading from a map in the mind
Guiándome por un mapa en la mente
Yes, there's the ragged hill
Sí, ahí está la colina irregular
And there's the boat on the river
Y ahí está el bote en el río
And when the rain came down
Y cuando la lluvia cayó
He heard a wild dog howl
Escuchó a un perro salvaje aullar
There were voices in the night (don't do it)
Habían voces en la noche (no lo hagas)
Voices out of sight (don't do it)
Voces que no se veían (no lo hagas)
Too many men have failed before
Demasiados hombres han fallado antes
Whatever you do
Hagas lo que hagas
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Don't even fix a price
Ni siquiera fijes un precio
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Until he gets you to the other side
Hasta que te haya llevado al otro lado
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board
En la niebla ondulante, luego sube a bordo
Now there'll be no turning back
Ahora no habrá vuelta atrás
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
Cuidado con ese viejo encapuchado al timón
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
Y luego el relámpago brilló, y el trueno rugió
And people calling out his name (name, name, name)
Y la gente gritó su nombre (nombre, nombre, nombre)
And dancing bones that jabbered and a moaned on the water
Y los huesos danzantes parloteaban y gemían sobre el agua
And then the ferryman said
Y luego el barquero dijo
There is trouble ahead
Hay problemas más adelante
So you must pay me now (don't do it)
Así que tienes que pagarme ahora (no lo hagas)
You must pay me now (don't do it)
Tienes que pagarme ahora (no lo hagas)
And still that voice came from beyond
Y aún así esa voz venía del más allá
Whatever you do
Hagas lo que hagas
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Don't even fix a price
Ni siquiera fijes un precio
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Until he gets you to the other side
Hasta que te haya llevado al otro lado
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sí, sí, sí, sí
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Don't even fix a price
Ni siquiera fijes un precio
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Until he gets you to the other side
Hasta que te haya llevado al otro lado
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Don't even fix a price
Ni siquiera fijes un precio
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Until he gets you to the other side
Hasta que te haya llevado al otro lado
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Don't even fix a price
Ni siquiera fijes un precio
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
Until he gets you to the other side
Hasta que te haya llevado al otro lado
Don't pay the ferryman
No le pagues al barquero
It was late at night on the open road
C'était tard le soir, sur la grande route ouverte
Speeding like a man on the run
Je filais à grande vitesse comme un hors-la-loi
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
J'ai passé toute une vie à me préparer pour le voyage
He is closer now and the search is on
Il s'approche maintenant, et les recherches commencent
Reading from a map in the mind
Consultant une carte dans l'esprit
Yes, there's the ragged hill
Oui, voilà la colline dépouillée
And there's the boat on the river
Et voilà la barque sur la rivière
And when the rain came down
Et quand la pluie s'est mise à tomber
He heard a wild dog howl
Il a entendu le hurlement d'un chien sauvage
There were voices in the night (don't do it)
Il y avait des voix dans la nuit (ne le fais pas)
Voices out of sight (don't do it)
Des vois hors de vue (ne le fais pas)
Too many men have failed before
Trop d'hommes ont échoué ici avant
Whatever you do
Quoi que tu fasses
Don't pay the ferryman
Ne paye pas le passeur sur la barque
Don't even fix a price
Ne te mets même pas d'accord pour un prix
Don't pay the ferryman
Ne paye pas le passeur sur la barque
Until he gets you to the other side
Avant qu'il te ramène de l'autre bord
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board
Dans le brouillard roulant, et puis il regagne sa barque
Now there'll be no turning back
Maintenant, on ne pourra plus faire demi-tour
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
Fais attention au vieil homme à la capuche qui tient le gouvernail
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
Et puis un éclair a jailli, et le tonnerre a rugi
And people calling out his name (name, name, name)
Et des gens criaient son nom (nom, nom, nom)
And dancing bones that jabbered and a moaned on the water
Et des os dansants qui balbutiaient et gémissaient sur l'eau
And then the ferryman said
Et puis le passeur a dit
There is trouble ahead
Il y a du danger devant nous
So you must pay me now (don't do it)
Donc, tu dois me payer maintenant (ne le fais pas)
You must pay me now (don't do it)
Tu dois me payer maintenant (ne le fais pas)
And still that voice came from beyond
Et toujours, cette voix grondait de l'au-delà
Whatever you do
Quoi que tu fasse
Don't pay the ferryman
Ne paye pas le passeur sur la barque
Don't even fix a price
Ne te mets même pas d'accord pour un prix
Don't pay the ferryman
Ne paye pas le passeur sur la barque
Until he gets you to the other side
Avant qu'il te ramène de l'autre bord
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
Don't pay the ferryman
Ne paye pas le passeur sur la barque
Don't even fix a price
Ne te mets même pas d'accord pour un prix
Don't pay the ferryman
Ne paye pas le passeur sur la barque
Until he gets you to the other side
Avant qu'il te ramène de l'autre bord

Don't even fix a price
Ne te mets même pas d'accord pour un prix
Don't pay the ferryman

It was late at night on the open road
Es war spät in der Nacht auf der offenen Straße
Speeding like a man on the run
Rasend wie ein Mann auf der Flucht
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
Ein Leben lang vorbereitet auf die Reise
He is closer now and the search is on
Er ist jetzt näher und die Suche hat begonnen
Reading from a map in the mind
Lesend von einer Karte im Kopf
Yes, there's the ragged hill
Ja, da ist der zerklüftete Hügel
And there's the boat on the river
Und da ist das Boot auf dem Fluss
And when the rain came down
Und als der Regen herunterkam
He heard a wild dog howl
Hörte er einen wilden Hund heulen
There were voices in the night (don't do it)
Es gab Stimmen in der Nacht (tu es nicht)
Voices out of sight (don't do it)
Stimmen außer Sicht (tu es nicht)
Too many men have failed before
Zu viele Männer sind vorher gescheitert
Whatever you do
Was auch immer du tust
Don't pay the ferryman
Bezahle den Fährmann nicht
Don't even fix a price
Setze nicht einmal einen Preis fest
Don't pay the ferryman
Bezahle den Fährmann nicht
Until he gets you to the other side
Bis er dich auf die andere Seite bringt
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board
Im rollenden Nebel, dann steigt er an Bord
Now there'll be no turning back
Jetzt gibt es kein Zurück mehr
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
Hüte dich vor dem alten Mann mit der Kapuze am Ruder
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
Und dann blitzte es, und der Donner dröhnte
And people calling out his name (name, name, name)
Und Leute riefen seinen Namen (Name, Name, Name)
And dancing bones that jabbered and a moaned on the water
Und tanzende Knochen, die auf dem Wasser plapperten und stöhnten
And then the ferryman said
Und dann sagte der Fährmann
There is trouble ahead
Es gibt Ärger voraus
So you must pay me now (don't do it)
Also musst du mich jetzt bezahlen (tu es nicht)
You must pay me now (don't do it)
Du musst mich jetzt bezahlen (tu es nicht)
And still that voice came from beyond
Und immer noch kam diese Stimme von jenseits
Whatever you do
Was auch immer du tust
Don't pay the ferryman
Bezahle den Fährmann nicht
Don't even fix a price
Setze nicht einmal einen Preis fest
Don't pay the ferryman
Bezahle den Fährmann nicht

Until he gets you to the other side
Bis er dich auf die andere Seite bringt
Don't pay the ferryman
Bezahle den Fährmann nicht
It was late at night on the open road

A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
Una vita trascorsa a prepararsi per il viaggio
He is closer now and the search is on
Ora è più vicino e la ricerca è iniziata
Reading from a map in the mind
Leggendo da una mappa nella mente
Yes, there's the ragged hill
Sì, c'è la collina strappata
And there's the boat on the river

In the rolling mist, then he gets on board
Nella nebbia rotolante, poi sale a bordo
Now there'll be no turning back
Ora non ci sarà più ritorno
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
Attento a quel vecchio incappucciato al timone
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
E poi il fulmine lampeggiò, e il tuono ruggì
And people calling out his name (name, name, name)
E la gente che chiamava il suo nome (nome, nome, nome)
And dancing bones that jabbered and a moaned on the water
E ossa danzanti che gorgogliavano e gemevano sull'acqua
And then the ferryman said
E poi il traghettatore disse
There is trouble ahead
C'è guai in arrivo
So you must pay me now (don't do it)
Quindi devi pagarmi ora (non farlo)
You must pay me now (don't do it)
Devi pagarmi ora (non farlo)

Now there'll be no turning back
Sekarang tidak akan ada yang bisa kembali
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
Hati-hati dengan orang tua berkerudung di kemudi
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
Dan kemudian kilat menyambar, dan guntur menggelegar
And people calling out his name (name, name, name)
Dan orang-orang memanggil namanya (nama, nama, nama)
And dancing bones that jabbered and a moaned on the water
Dan tulang-tulang yang menari dan merengek di atas air
And then the ferryman said

There is trouble ahead
Ada masalah di depan
So you must pay me now (don't do it)
Jadi kamu harus membayar saya sekarang (jangan melakukannya)
