Dawn's Highway

Jim Morrison, John Paul Densmore, Raymond Manzarek, Robert Krieger

Lyrics Translation

Me and my, uh, mother and father
And a grandmother and grandfather
Were driving through the desert, at dawn
And a truck load of Indian workers had
Either hit another car, or just
I don't know what happened
But there were Indians scattered
All over the highway, bleeding to death
So the car pulls up and stops
That was the first time I tasted fear
I musta been about four
Like a child is like a flower
His head is just floating in the breeze, man
The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back
Is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians
Maybe one or two of 'em
Were just running around freaking out
And just leaped into my soul
And they're still in there

Me and my, uh, mother and father
Eu e minha, uh, mãe e meu pai
And a grandmother and grandfather
E uma avó e avô
Were driving through the desert, at dawn
Estávamos dirigindo pelo deserto, ao amanhecer
And a truck load of Indian workers had
E um caminhão cheio de trabalhadores indianos tinha
Either hit another car, or just
Ou batido em outro carro, ou apenas
I don't know what happened
Eu não sei o que aconteceu
But there were Indians scattered
Mas havia indianos espalhados
All over the highway, bleeding to death
Por toda a rodovia, sangrando até a morte
So the car pulls up and stops
Então o carro para e para
That was the first time I tasted fear
Foi a primeira vez que senti medo
I musta been about four
Eu devia ter uns quatro anos
Like a child is like a flower
Como uma criança é como uma flor
His head is just floating in the breeze, man
Sua cabeça está apenas flutuando na brisa, cara
The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back
A reação que tenho agora pensando nisso, olhando para trás
Is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians
É que as almas dos fantasmas daqueles índios mortos
Maybe one or two of 'em
Talvez um ou dois deles
Were just running around freaking out
Estavam apenas correndo por aí assustados
And just leaped into my soul
E simplesmente saltaram para a minha alma
And they're still in there
E eles ainda estão lá dentro
