A Horse With No Name

A Horse with No Name
A Horse with No Name?

America was formed in England by sons of US servicemen who were stationed there. Lead singer Dewey Bunnell wrote this when he was 19.
Although the song is commonly misinterpreted about being on drugs, it is not: Bunnell based the images in the lyrics on things he saw while visiting
the US.
This was originally titled "Desert Song," since Bunnell wrote it based on the desert scenery he encountered when his dad was stationed at an Air
Force base in Santa Barbara County, California.
The song tells a rather abstruse tale about a trip though the desert. While the landscape is unforgiving, the singer also finds comfort in that scenario.
According to Dewey Bunnell, the "horse" represents a means of entering a place of tranquility, and this tranquil place was best represented by the
desert, which sounded pretty good to him while he was stuck in rainy England.
As for why the horse had no name and why it went free after nine days, Bunnell doesn't have any answers - it seems the various listener
interpretations are far more colorful than any meaning he assigned to it.
On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life
Na primeira parte da jornada eu estava olhando para toda
a vida
There were plants and birds and rocks and things

Havia plantas e pássaros e pedras e coisas
There was sand and hills and rings

Havia areia e morros e anéis
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

A primeira coisa que eu encontrei foi uma mosca com um
zumbido
And the sky with no clouds

E o céu sem nuvens
The heat was hot and the ground was dry

O calor estava quente e o chão estava seco
But the air was full of sound

Mas o ar estava cheio de som
(You see) I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
(Sabe) Eu passei pelo deserto em um cavalo sem nome
It felt good to be out of the rain

Foi bom estar fora da chuva
In the desert you can remember your name

No deserto, você pode lembrar do seu nome
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Pois não há ninguém para te causar dor
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...

After two days in the desert sun

Depois de dois dias no sol do deserto
My skin began to turn red

Minha pele começou a ficar vermelha
After three days in the desert fun

Depois de três dias na diversão do deserto
I was looking at a river bed

Eu estava olhando para o leito de um rio
And the story it told of a river that flowed

E a história que ele contava de um rio que fluía
Made me sad to think it was dead

Me deixou triste por pensar que ele estava morto
After nine days I let the horse run free

Depois de nove dias eu deixei o cavalo correr livre
'Cause the desert had turned to sea

Pois o deserto tinha virado mar


The ocean is a desert with it's life underground

O oceano é um deserto com sua vida submersa
And a perfect disguise above

E um disfarce perfeito acima
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

Sob as cidades está um coração feito de chão
But the humans will give no love

Mas os humanos não darão amor

A horse with no name

usamos o verbo “ter” representando existência, e não posse.
There is a woman waiting outside.

Tem uma mulher esperando lá fora.
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Pois não há ninguém para te causar dor
ATENÇÃO!!! Embora esteja na canção, a construção FOR TO + verbo não está

correta de acordo com a norma culta do inglês corrente.
(No entanto, esta construção é encontrada em alguns textos mais antigos, ou em dialetos
específicos ainda hoje.)
ATENÇÃO 2!!! Embora comum, usar “ain’t” e dupla negativa: só em contextos

bem informais!!! Na dúvida, evite!
