Little Sister
Don't call me home, little sister
Before the night is done
My love and I are fleeing
Running into the sun.
Turn to fly, go away
Little bird, please don't stay
Fare thee well.
Take up all your jewels and gold,
Bury them away in the earth.
Let your memory reduce them to dust
But don't forget the knife that was thrust.
Turn to fly, go away
Little bird, please don't stay
Fare thee well.
Frozen kiss by the fountain
Running into the sea
Where shadows choose their horrors
Designed for music.
Turn to fly, go away,
Little bird, please don't stay,
Fare thee well.
Hermanita
No me llames a casa, hermanita
Antes de que termine la noche
Mi amor y yo estamos huyendo
Corriendo hacia el sol.
Prepárate para volar, vete
Pajarito, por favor no te quedes
Adiós.
Lleva todas tus joyas y oro,
Entiérralos en la tierra.
Deja que tu memoria los reduzca a polvo
Pero no olvides el cuchillo que fue clavado.
Prepárate para volar, vete
Pajarito, por favor no te quedes
Adiós.
Beso congelado junto a la fuente
Corriendo hacia el mar
Donde las sombras eligen sus horrores
Diseñados para la música.
Prepárate para volar, vete,
Pajarito, por favor no te quedes,
Adiós.
