Coal Miner's Daughter

Loretta Lynn

Lyrics Translation

Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear coal mines
All day long in the field a hoin' corn
Mommy rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
And ever' thing would start all over come break of morn'

Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain, there was no need
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog
Money made from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere

Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well, the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
Never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler

Well, a lot of things have changed since a way back then
Ah, and it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floors, nothing lives here anymore
'Cept the memories of a coal miner's daughter
'Cept the memories of a coal miner's daughter

Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter
Bem, eu nasci filha de um mineiro de carvão
In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
Em uma cabana, numa colina em Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
Éramos pobres, mas tínhamos amor
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
Isso é uma coisa que o papai sempre garantiu
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
Ele peneirava carvão para ganhar o dólar de um homem pobre
My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear coal mines
Meu pai trabalhava a noite toda em uma mina de carvão de Van Lear
All day long in the field a hoin' corn
E o dia todo no campo, plantando milho
Mommy rocked the babies at night
A mamãe balançava os bebês à noite
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
Lia a Bíblia à luz do óleo de carvão
And ever' thing would start all over come break of morn'
E tudo começava de novo ao amanhecer
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
O papai amou e criou oito filhos com o salário de um mineiro
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day
Mamãe esfregava nossas roupas em uma tábua de lavar todos os dias
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
Por que, eu já vi seus dedos sangrarem
To complain, there was no need
Não havia necessidade de reclamar
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way
Ela sorria de um jeito compreensivo de mãe
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
No verão, não tínhamos sapatos para usar
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
Mas no inverno, todos nós ganhávamos um par novinho
From a mail order catalog
De um catálogo de pedidos por correio
Money made from selling a hog
Dinheiro ganho vendendo um porco
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
Papai sempre conseguia arranjar o dinheiro de algum lugar
Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
Sim, eu tenho orgulho de ser filha de um mineiro de carvão
I remember well, the well where I drew water
Eu me lembro bem, do poço onde eu buscava água
The work we done was hard
O trabalho que fazíamos era duro
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
À noite dormíamos porque estávamos cansados
Never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler
Nunca pensei em sair de Butcher Holler
Well, a lot of things have changed since a way back then
Bem, muitas coisas mudaram desde aquele tempo
Ah, and it's so good to be back home again
Ah, e é tão bom estar de volta em casa novamente
Not much left but the floors, nothing lives here anymore
Não sobrou muito além dos pisos, ninguém vive mais aqui

Exceto as memórias de uma filha de mineiro de carvão
