Cortez the Killer

Neil Young

Letra Tradução

He came dancin' across the water
With his galleons and guns
Lookin' for the new world
And the palace in the sun

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls, he often wandered
With the secrets of the world

And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see

And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
People worked together
And they lifted many stones

And they carried them to the flat lands
But they died along the way
And they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today

And I know she's livin' there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way

He came dancin' across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer

He came dancin' across the water
Ele veio dançando sobre a água
With his galleons and guns
Com seus galeões e armas
Lookin' for the new world
Procurando pelo novo mundo
And the palace in the sun
E o palácio ao sol
On the shore lay Montezuma
Na costa estava Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
Com suas folhas de coca e pérolas
In his halls, he often wandered
Em seus salões, ele frequentemente vagava
With the secrets of the world
Com os segredos do mundo
And his subjects gathered 'round him
E seus súditos se reuniam ao seu redor
Like the leaves around a tree
Como as folhas ao redor de uma árvore
In their clothes of many colors
Em suas roupas de muitas cores
For the angry gods to see
Para os deuses irados verem
And the women all were beautiful
E todas as mulheres eram lindas
And the men stood straight and strong
E os homens se mantinham eretos e fortes
They offered life in sacrifice
Eles ofereciam a vida em sacrifício
So that others could go on
Para que outros pudessem continuar
Hate was just a legend
O ódio era apenas uma lenda
And war was never known
E a guerra nunca era conhecida
People worked together
As pessoas trabalhavam juntas
And they lifted many stones
E levantaram muitas pedras
And they carried them to the flat lands
E eles as levaram para as terras planas
But they died along the way
Mas morreram ao longo do caminho
And they built up with their bare hands
E eles construíram com suas próprias mãos
What we still can't do today
O que ainda não conseguimos fazer hoje
And I know she's livin' there
E eu sei que ela está vivendo lá
And she loves me to this day
E ela me ama até hoje
I still can't remember when
Ainda não consigo lembrar quando
Or how I lost my way
Ou como eu perdi meu caminho
He came dancin' across the water
Ele veio dançando sobre a água
Cortez, Cortez
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
Que assassino
He came dancin' across the water
Vino danzando a través del agua
With his galleons and guns
Con sus galeones y armas
Lookin' for the new world
Buscando el nuevo mundo
And the palace in the sun
Y el palacio en el sol
On the shore lay Montezuma
En la orilla yacía Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
Con sus hojas de coca y perlas
In his halls, he often wandered
En sus salones, a menudo vagaba
With the secrets of the world
Con los secretos del mundo
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Y sus súbditos se reunieron a su alrededor
Like the leaves around a tree
Como las hojas alrededor de un árbol
In their clothes of many colors
En sus ropas de muchos colores
For the angry gods to see
Para que los dioses enojados pudieran ver
And the women all were beautiful
Y todas las mujeres eran hermosas
And the men stood straight and strong
Y los hombres se mantenían rectos y fuertes
They offered life in sacrifice
Ofrecieron vida en sacrificio
So that others could go on
Para que otros pudieran continuar
Hate was just a legend
El odio era solo una leyenda
And war was never known
Y la guerra nunca se conocía
People worked together
Las personas trabajaban juntas
And they lifted many stones
Y levantaron muchas piedras
And they carried them to the flat lands
Y las llevaron a las tierras planas
But they died along the way
Pero murieron en el camino
And they built up with their bare hands
Y construyeron con sus propias manos
What we still can't do today
Lo que aún no podemos hacer hoy
And I know she's livin' there
Y sé que ella vive allí
And she loves me to this day
Y me ama hasta el día de hoy
I still can't remember when
Todavía no puedo recordar cuándo
Or how I lost my way
O cómo perdí mi camino
He came dancin' across the water
Vino danzando a través del agua
Cortez, Cortez
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
Qué asesino
He came dancin' across the water
Il est venu dansant sur l'eau
With his galleons and guns
Avec ses galions et ses canons
Lookin' for the new world
Cherchant le nouveau monde
And the palace in the sun
Et le palais au soleil
On the shore lay Montezuma
Sur la rive se trouvait Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
Avec ses feuilles de coca et ses perles
In his halls, he often wandered
Dans ses salles, il errait souvent
With the secrets of the world
Avec les secrets du monde
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Et ses sujets se rassemblaient autour de lui
Like the leaves around a tree
Comme les feuilles autour d'un arbre
In their clothes of many colors
Dans leurs vêtements de toutes les couleurs
For the angry gods to see
Pour que les dieux en colère puissent voir
And the women all were beautiful
Et toutes les femmes étaient belles
And the men stood straight and strong
Et les hommes se tenaient droits et forts
They offered life in sacrifice
Ils offraient la vie en sacrifice
So that others could go on
Pour que d'autres puissent continuer
Hate was just a legend
La haine n'était qu'une légende
And war was never known
Et la guerre n'était jamais connue
People worked together
Les gens travaillaient ensemble
And they lifted many stones
Et ils ont soulevé de nombreuses pierres
And they carried them to the flat lands
Et ils les ont transportées vers les plaines
But they died along the way
Mais ils sont morts en cours de route
And they built up with their bare hands
Et ils ont construit avec leurs mains nues
What we still can't do today
Ce que nous ne pouvons toujours pas faire aujourd'hui
And I know she's livin' there
Et je sais qu'elle vit là-bas
And she loves me to this day
Et elle m'aime encore à ce jour
I still can't remember when
Je ne me souviens toujours pas quand
Or how I lost my way
Ou comment j'ai perdu mon chemin
He came dancin' across the water
Il est venu dansant sur l'eau

Quel tueur

Er kam tanzend über das Wasser

Mit seinen Galeonen und Kanonen

Auf der Suche nach der neuen Welt
And the palace in the sun
Und dem Palast in der Sonne
On the shore lay Montezuma
Am Ufer lag Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
Mit seinen Koka-Blättern und Perlen
In his halls, he often wandered
In seinen Hallen wanderte er oft umher
With the secrets of the world
Mit den Geheimnissen der Welt
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Und seine Untertanen versammelten sich um ihn
Like the leaves around a tree
Wie die Blätter um einen Baum
In their clothes of many colors
In ihren Kleidern vieler Farben
For the angry gods to see
Für die zornigen Götter zu sehen
And the women all were beautiful
Und alle Frauen waren schön
And the men stood straight and strong
Und die Männer standen aufrecht und stark
They offered life in sacrifice
Sie boten das Leben im Opfer an
So that others could go on
Damit andere weitermachen konnten
Hate was just a legend
Hass war nur eine Legende
And war was never known
Und Krieg war nie bekannt
People worked together
Die Menschen arbeiteten zusammen
And they lifted many stones
Und sie hoben viele Steine
And they carried them to the flat lands
Und sie trugen sie in die flachen Länder
But they died along the way
Aber sie starben auf dem Weg
And they built up with their bare hands
Und sie bauten mit ihren bloßen Händen

With the secrets of the world
Con i segreti del mondo

Like the leaves around a tree
Come le foglie attorno a un albero
In their clothes of many colors
Nei loro vestiti di molti colori
