John Wayne Gacy, Jr.

Sufjan Stevens

Lyrics Translation

His father was a drinker and his mother cried in bed
Folding John Wayne's t-shirts when the swing set hit his head
The neighbors, they adored him
For his humor and his conversation

Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things, rotting fast, in their sleep

Oh the dead
Twenty-seven people
Even more, they were boys, with their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God
Ooh, are you one of them?

He dressed up like a clown for them
With his face paint white and red
And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all

He'd kill ten thousand people
With a slight of his hand, running far, running fast to the dead
He took off all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips, quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth

And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid

His father was a drinker and his mother cried in bed
Seu pai era um bebedor e sua mãe chorava na cama
Folding John Wayne's t-shirts when the swing set hit his head
Dobrando as camisetas de John Wayne quando o balanço atingiu sua cabeça
The neighbors, they adored him
Os vizinhos, eles o adoravam
For his humor and his conversation
Por seu humor e sua conversa
Look underneath the house there
Olhe embaixo da casa lá
Find the few living things, rotting fast, in their sleep
Encontre as poucas coisas vivas, apodrecendo rápido, em seu sono
Oh the dead
Oh os mortos
Twenty-seven people
Vinte e sete pessoas
Even more, they were boys, with their cars, summer jobs
Ainda mais, eram meninos, com seus carros, empregos de verão
Oh my God
Oh meu Deus
Ooh, are you one of them?
Ooh, você é um deles?
He dressed up like a clown for them
Ele se vestiu como um palhaço para eles
With his face paint white and red
Com sua pintura facial branca e vermelha
And on his best behavior
E em seu melhor comportamento
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
Em um quarto escuro na cama ele beijou todos eles
He'd kill ten thousand people
Ele mataria dez mil pessoas
With a slight of his hand, running far, running fast to the dead
Com um leve movimento de sua mão, correndo longe, correndo rápido para os mortos
He took off all their clothes for them
Ele tirou todas as roupas deles
He put a cloth on their lips, quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth
Ele colocou um pano em seus lábios, mãos quietas, beijo quieto na boca
And in my best behavior
E em meu melhor comportamento
I am really just like him
Eu sou realmente como ele
Look beneath the floor boards
Olhe embaixo das tábuas do chão
For the secrets I have hid
Pelos segredos que eu escondi
His father was a drinker and his mother cried in bed

The neighbors, they adored him
Los vecinos, lo adoraban
For his humor and his conversation
Por su humor y su conversación
Look underneath the house there
Mira debajo de la casa allí
Find the few living things, rotting fast, in their sleep
Encuentra las pocas cosas vivas, pudriéndose rápidamente, en su sueño
Oh the dead
Oh los muertos

He dressed up like a clown for them
Se disfrazó de payaso para ellos
With his face paint white and red
Con su cara pintada de blanco y rojo
And on his best behavior
Y en su mejor comportamiento
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
En una habitación oscura en la cama los besó a todos
He'd kill ten thousand people
Mataría a diez mil personas
With a slight of his hand, running far, running fast to the dead
Con un leve movimiento de su mano, corriendo lejos, corriendo rápido hacia los muertos
He took off all their clothes for them
Les quitó toda la ropa a ellos
He put a cloth on their lips, quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth
Puso un paño en sus labios, manos quietas, beso silencioso en la boca
And in my best behavior
Y en mi mejor comportamiento
I am really just like him
Realmente soy como él

Mira debajo de las tablas del suelo

Il s'est déguisé en clown pour eux
With his face paint white and red
Avec son visage peint en blanc et rouge
And on his best behavior
Et sur son meilleur comportement
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
Dans une chambre sombre sur le lit, il les a tous embrassés
He'd kill ten thousand people
Il tuerait dix mille personnes
With a slight of his hand, running far, running fast to the dead
Avec un tour de main, courant loin, courant vite vers les morts
He took off all their clothes for them
Il a enlevé tous leurs vêtements pour eux
He put a cloth on their lips, quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth
Il a mis un tissu sur leurs lèvres, des mains silencieuses, un baiser silencieux sur la bouche
And in my best behavior
Et dans mon meilleur comportement
I am really just like him
Je suis vraiment juste comme lui
Look beneath the floor boards
Regarde sous les planches du sol

Pour les secrets que j'ai cachés
