Now, the way I heard it,

Bem, pelo que ouvi dizer,

Old man Thorpe, he didn't know that Papa Justifier was a two-headed doctor.

O velho Thorpe não sabia que Papa Justifier era um curandeiro com conhecimentos místicos.

He was a conjure man.

Ele era um feiticeiro.

And so was Cecile.

E Cecile também era.

They believed...

Yeah.

É.

That was their room.

Oh, they were famous all through the pipes.

Hit a straight lick with a crooked stick, as the colors say.

Davam um jeito nas coisas com meios tortuosos, como dizem os locais.

But old Thor, he just saw him as help.

And he worked him to the bone.

E ele os fazia trabalhar até a exaustão.

He abused him.

until one night, as the story goes,

Politicians, sugar barons, riverboat tycoons.

Políticos, magnatas do açúcar, magnatas de barcos a vapor.

There was a lot of drinking and dancing.

Havia muita bebida e dança.

And a couple of trysts, I'm sure.

E alguns casos amorosos, tenho certeza.

And then finally, when it was time to say farewell,

E então, finalmente, quando chegou a hora de se despedir,

some of the guests wanted to wish goodbye to the children.

alguns convidados quiseram se despedir das crianças.

But nobody could find them.

Mas ninguém conseguiu encontrá-las.

They hadn't seen them in hours.

So being all full of brandy, they made it a game.

Então, como estavam cheios de conhaque, transformaram isso em um jogo.

Let's find the children, find the children.

Vamos encontrar as crianças, encontrar as crianças.

Room after room after room.

Quarto após quarto após quarto.

Finally, someone heard music.

And voices.

And shouting.

E gritos.

It is time, Lord.

É hora, Senhor.

Their servants were up there with the children.

Os criados deles estavam lá em cima com as crianças.

They were trying to teach them how to conjure up voodoo.

Eles estavam tentando ensiná-las a conjurar vodu.

Well, the thought went about insane,

Bem, o pensamento tornou-se insano,

and so did the rest of the guests.

I mean, how long had this blasphemy been going on?

Quero dizer, há quanto tempo essa blasfêmia estava acontecendo?

The children said it was their fault,

As crianças disseram que a culpa era delas,

that they had wanted to learn.

But they weren't having any of that.

Mas eles não queriam saber de nada disso.
