Verse
The kitchen was cold today.
A cozinha estava fria hoje.
We didn't speak a word.
Não dissemos uma palavra.
Dinner stayed on the stove.
O jantar ficou no fogão.
Anger on every plate.
Raiva em cada prato.
Chorus
Then the mailman knocked twice.
Então o carteiro bateu duas vezes.
A letter from the past.
Uma carta do passado.
It arrived so very late.
Chegou muito, muito tarde.
It changed our destiny.
Mudou o nosso destino.
Verse
Grandma wrote it years ago.
Vovó escreveu há anos.
She wanted us to stay.
Ela queria que ficássemos.
The grudge just disappeared.
O rancor simplesmente sumiu.
Chorus
Then the mailman knocked twice.
Então o carteiro bateu duas vezes.
A letter from the past.
Uma carta do passado.
It arrived so very late.
Chegou muito, muito tarde.
Bridge
Her ink heals the pain.
Sua tinta cura a dor.
We finally look up now.
Finalmente olhamos para cima.
We share a soft smile.
Compartilhamos um sorriso suave.
Chorus
Then the mailman knocked twice.
Então o carteiro bateu duas vezes.
A letter from the past.
Uma carta do passado.
It arrived so very late.
Chegou muito, muito tarde.
It changed our destiny.
Mudou o nosso destino.
