The Ballad Of Casey Deiss

Era un hombre de rasgos juvenilesT'was a man of youthful features
Era un niño de ojos tristesT'was a boy of sorrowful eyes
Mirando hacia fuera pero mirando hacia adentroWatching out but looking inward
Alto y señorial y lleno de vidaTall and stately and full of life

En su vida, hablaba, pero rara vezIn his life, he spoke but rarely
En su mente lloró por la luzIn his mind he cried for light
Pintar percepciones tratando de capturarPainting perceptions trying to capture
Lo que vio en su lucha cuestionableThat which he saw in his questioning strife

Una vez en Lisboa, dos veces en LondresOnce in Lisbon, twice in London
Viajando todo su tiempoTravelling around for all of his time
Buscando y encontrando una diosaLooking for and finding a goddess
Tomó a Diana como esposaHe took Diana to be his wife

De los niños, habían engendradoOf the children, they'd begotten
Dos habían muerto sin conocer la vidaTwo had died without knowing life
Y el tercero no sé de quéAnd the third I know not whereof
Pero si vive, será amableBut if she lives, she will yet be kind

Casey tenía una marca de valor simpleCasey had a mark of simple value
Tenía una estrella entre sus ojosHe had a star between his eyes
En sus manos sostuvo una hoja de hachaIn his hands he held an axe blade
El símbolo griego del trueno y el fuegoThe Greek symbol of thunder and fire

En una noche cuando los cielos llorabanOn a night when the heavens were crying
Salió y tomó su espadaHe went out and took his blade
Cortar madera para calentar su hogarChopping wood to warm his hearthside
El rayo vino y mi hermano murióThe lightning came and my brother died

No le traiga vino de viñedos lejanosBring him no wine from faraway vineyards
No le digas nada de la fuerza del cañónTell him no tales of the canyon's might
Pero desearle paz y sabiduría eternaBut wish him peace and eternal wisdom
Porque él ha muerto y ha muerto en la luzFor he has died and he died in light
