Ferret and Featherbird

PETER HAMMILL

Lyrics Translation

Time has come between us:
In the passing months I've felt you slip away
As your words and mine came like nursery rhymes
Till there was nothing left to say.
Distance came between us long ago,
As our memories faded away...
Over the miles I ceased to smile
Because nothing felt the same.
That's how it seemed a week ago,
Far off in time and space.
Time and distance are between us now,
They form a bond to make things sure.
Nothing ever shatters,
You know what happens:
Time and distance make a love secure.

[Verso 1]
O tempo chegou entre nós:
Nos meses que se passaram eu senti você escapar
Enquanto suas palavras e as minhas saiam como poesias infantis
Até que não houvesse nada restante para dizer

[Verso 2]
A distância chegou entre nós há muito tempo atrás
Enquanto nossas memórias desvaneciam...
Através das milhas eu deixei de sorrir
Porque nada parecia o mesmo

[Ponte]
Assim que parecia uma semana atrás
Distante no tempo e espaço

[Verso 3]
Tempo e distância estão entre nós agora
Eles formam um elo para fazer as coisas claras
Nada jamais se desfaz
Você sabe o que acontece:
Tempo e distância fazem um amor seguro
