Took them away

Dear reader
Took them awayNicholas invited me to visit at the farm
We were playing in the yard
I saw them in the barn
White and black together sat
I just stood and stared
How was I to know what it all meant?

Mr. Goldreich and his wife were generous to me
David in blue overalls came in to serve the tea
I had seen him in the barn, something wasn’t right
As I told my father late that night

So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away
One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away
On that Thursday according to plan
They took them away in a dry-cleaning van
I stood and watched by the side of the road
How could I know?
How could I know?

How was I to understand?
How to make it right?
As I ask our father every night

So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away
One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away
On that Thursday according to plan
They took them away in a dry-cleaning van
I stood and watched by the side of the road
How could I know?
How could I know?

Levaram-no emboraNicholas me convidou para visitar a fazenda
Estávamos brincando no quintal
Vi-os no celeiro
Branca e preto se sentaram juntos
Eu só parei e olhei
Como eu poderia saber o que tudo aquilo significava?
Mr. Goldreich e a esposa dele foram generosos comigo
David, de macacão azul, entrou para servir o chá
Eu o havia visto no celeiro, algo não estava certo
Conforme contei meu pai mais tarde naquela noite
Então, eles vieram em uma van de limpeza a seco e levaram-no embora, levaram-no embora
Um cão e uma dúzia de homens fortes e levaram-no embora, levaram-no embora
Naquela quinta-feira, de acordo com plano
Levaram-no embora em uma van de limpeza a seco
Parei e vi ao lado da estrada
Como eu poderia saber?
Como eu poderia saber?
Como eu ia entender?
Como concertar isso?
Assim eu perguntava ao nosso pai todas as noites
Então, eles vieram em uma van de limpeza a seco e levaram-no embora, levaram-no embora
Um cão e uma dúzia de homens fortes e levaram-no embora, levaram-no embora
Naquela quinta-feira, de acordo com plano
Levaram-no embora em uma van de limpeza a seco
Parei e vi ao lado da estrada
Como eu poderia saber?
Como eu poderia saber?
