Lost in the Flood
Bruce Springsteen
The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home
Like a hungry runaway
He walks through town all alone
"He must be from the fort"
He hears the high school girls say
His countryside's burnin'
With wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
The hit-and-run plead sanctuary
'Neath a holy stone they hide
They're breakin' beams and crosses
With a spastic's reelin' perfection
Nuns run bald through Vatican halls
Pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street
From drinking unholy blood
Sticker smiles sweet as Gunner breathes deep
His ankles caked in mud
And I said, "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand
That's quicksand, that ain't mud
Have you thrown your senses to the war
Or did you lose them in the flood?"
That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
Races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
He rides 'er low on the hip
On the side he's got "Bound for Glory"
In red, white and blue flash paint
He leans on the hood telling racing stories
The kids call him Jimmy the Saint
Well, that blaze-and-noise boy
He's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left
But some blood where the body fell
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
Just junk all across the horizon
A real highwayman's farewell
And I said, "Hey kid, you think that's oil?
Man, that ain't oil, that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking
When he hit that storm
Or was he just lost in the flood?
Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air
Some storefront incarnation of Maria
She's puttin' on me the stare
And Bronx's best apostle
Stands with his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear five quick shots
The cops come up for air
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown
They're shootin' up the street
Oh, that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose
But he gets blown right off his feet
Oh, and some kid comes blastin' 'round the corner
But a cop puts him right away
He lays on the street holding his leg
Screaming something in Spanish
Still breathing when I walked away
And someone said, "Hey man, did you see that?
His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud"
I wonder what the dude was sayin'
Or was he just lost in the flood?
Hey man, did you see that?
Those poor cats are sure messed up
I wonder what they were gettin' into
Or were they all just lost in the flood?
The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home
O moleque de rua está voltando para casa
Like a hungry runaway
Como um fugitivo faminto
He walks through town all alone
Ele caminha pela cidade sozinho
"He must be from the fort"
"Ele deve ser do forte"
He hears the high school girls say
Ele ouve as garotas do ensino médio dizerem
His countryside's burnin'
Sua zona rural está queimando
With wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
Com fadas lobisomens vestidas de drag para homicídio
The hit-and-run plead sanctuary
O atropelador implora santuário
'Neath a holy stone they hide
Sob uma pedra sagrada eles se escondem
They're breakin' beams and crosses
Eles estão quebrando vigas e cruzes
With a spastic's reelin' perfection
Com a perfeição trêmula de um espástico
Nuns run bald through Vatican halls
Freiras correm carecas pelos corredores do Vaticano
Pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
Grávidas, implorando concepção imaculada
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street
E todo mundo está destruído na Main Street
From drinking unholy blood
Bebendo sangue profano
Sticker smiles sweet as Gunner breathes deep
Sorrisos adesivos doces como o Gunner respira fundo
His ankles caked in mud
Seus tornozelos enlameados
And I said, "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand
E eu disse, "Ei, homem da arma, isso é areia movediça
That's quicksand, that ain't mud
Isso é areia movediça, não é lama
Have you thrown your senses to the war
Você jogou seus sentidos para a guerra
Or did you lose them in the flood?"
Ou você os perdeu na enchente?"
That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
Aquele puro irmão americano, de olhos vazios e rosto vazio
Races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
Corre aos domingos em Jersey em um Chevy stock super oito
He rides 'er low on the hip
Ele a conduz baixo no quadril
On the side he's got "Bound for Glory"
Do lado ele tem "Destinado à Glória"
In red, white and blue flash paint
Em tinta vermelha, branca e azul
He leans on the hood telling racing stories
Ele se inclina no capô contando histórias de corrida
The kids call him Jimmy the Saint
As crianças o chamam de Jimmy o Santo
Well, that blaze-and-noise boy
Bem, aquele garoto barulhento e sem brilho
He's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
Ele está atirando naquela vadia carregada até o ponto de explosão
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
Ele vai de cabeça para um furacão e desaparece em um ponto
And there's nothin' left
E não sobra nada
But some blood where the body fell
Mas um pouco de sangue onde o corpo caiu
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
Ou seja, não sobrou nada que você pudesse vender
Just junk all across the horizon
Apenas lixo por todo o horizonte
A real highwayman's farewell
A verdadeira despedida de um salteador de estrada
And I said, "Hey kid, you think that's oil?
E eu disse, "Ei garoto, você acha que isso é óleo?
Man, that ain't oil, that's blood"
Cara, isso não é óleo, é sangue"
I wonder what he was thinking
Eu me pergunto o que ele estava pensando
When he hit that storm
Quando ele atingiu aquela tempestade
Or was he just lost in the flood?
Ou ele estava apenas perdido na enchente?
Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air
Marinheiros da Oitava Avenida em camisas de cetim sussurram no ar
Some storefront incarnation of Maria
Alguma encarnação de loja de Maria
She's puttin' on me the stare
Ela está me encarando
And Bronx's best apostle
E o melhor apóstolo do Bronx
Stands with his hand on his own hardware
Fica com a mão em seu próprio hardware
Everything stops, you hear five quick shots
Tudo para, você ouve cinco tiros rápidos
The cops come up for air
Os policiais aparecem para respirar
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown
E agora a gangue whiz-bang do centro
They're shootin' up the street
Eles estão atirando na rua
Oh, that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose
Oh, aquele gato do Bronx começa a soltar
But he gets blown right off his feet
Mas ele é derrubado
Oh, and some kid comes blastin' 'round the corner
Oh, e algum garoto vem atirando pela esquina
But a cop puts him right away
Mas um policial o coloca no lugar
He lays on the street holding his leg
Ele deita na rua segurando a perna
Screaming something in Spanish
Gritando algo em espanhol
Still breathing when I walked away
Ainda respirando quando eu me afastei
And someone said, "Hey man, did you see that?
E alguém disse, "Ei cara, você viu isso?
His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud"
Seu corpo atingiu a rua com um baque tão bonito"
I wonder what the dude was sayin'
Eu me pergunto o que o cara estava dizendo
Or was he just lost in the flood?
Ou ele estava apenas perdido na enchente?
Hey man, did you see that?
Ei cara, você viu isso?
Those poor cats are sure messed up
Esses pobres gatos estão realmente ferrados
I wonder what they were gettin' into
Eu me pergunto o que eles estavam se metendo
Or were they all just lost in the flood?
Ou eles estavam todos apenas perdidos na enchente?

From drinking unholy blood
Por beber sangre impura
Sticker smiles sweet as Gunner breathes deep
Las sonrisas de las pegatinas son dulces mientras el artillero respira profundamente
His ankles caked in mud
Sus tobillos cubiertos de barro
And I said, "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand
Y yo dije, "Oye, hombre artillero, eso es arenas movedizas
That's quicksand, that ain't mud
Eso son arenas movedizas, eso no es barro
Have you thrown your senses to the war

Just junk all across the horizon
Solo chatarra por todo el horizonte
A real highwayman's farewell
Un verdadero adiós de un bandido de la carretera
And I said, "Hey kid, you think that's oil?
Y yo dije, "Oye chico, ¿crees que eso es aceite?
