| It was down in Chinatown
| Fue en el barrio chino
|
| All the cokies laid around
| Todas las galletas puestas alrededor
|
| Some were high and some were mighty low;
| Algunos eran altos y algunos eran muy bajos;
|
| There were millions on the floor
| Había millones en el piso
|
| When a knock came on the door
| Cuando llamaron a la puerta
|
| And there stood old Smokey Joe
| Y allí estaba el viejo Smokey Joe
|
| He was sweatin', cold and pale
| Estaba sudando, frío y pálido
|
| He was lookin' for his frail
| Él estaba buscando a su frágil
|
| He was broke and all his junk ran out;
| Estaba arruinado y toda su basura se acabó;
|
| Nobody made a sound
| nadie hizo un sonido
|
| As he stood and looked around
| Mientras se ponía de pie y miraba a su alrededor
|
| And then you hear old Smoky shout:
| Y luego escuchas al viejo Smoky gritar:
|
| Tell me where is Minnie?
| Dime ¿dónde está Minnie?
|
| (Tell me where is Minnie)
| (Dime dónde está Minnie)
|
| My poor Minnie
| mi pobre minnie
|
| (Your poor Minnie)
| (Tu pobre Minnie)
|
| Has she been here
| ¿Ha estado ella aquí?
|
| Kicking the gong around?
| ¿Pateando el gong?
|
| If you don’t know Minnie
| Si no conoces a Minnie
|
| (If you don’t know Minnie)
| (Si no conoces a Minnie)
|
| She’s tall and skinny
| ella es alta y flaca
|
| (She's tall and skinny)
| (Ella es alta y flaca)
|
| She gets her pleasure
| ella consigue su placer
|
| Kicking the gong around
| Pateando el gong
|
| Just tell her Smokey Joe
| Solo dile a Smokey Joe
|
| Was here and had to go
| Estaba aquí y tenía que ir
|
| And as he departed
| Y al partir
|
| (As he departed)
| (Mientras se iba)
|
| The curtains parted
| Las cortinas se abrieron
|
| (The curtains parted)
| (Las cortinas se abrieron)
|
| And there stood Minnie
| Y allí estaba Minnie
|
| Kicking the gong around
| Pateando el gong
|
| You just tell her Smokey Joe
| Solo dile Smokey Joe
|
| Was here and had to go
| Estaba aquí y tenía que ir
|
| And as he departed
| Y al partir
|
| (As he departed)
| (Mientras se iba)
|
| The curtains parted
| Las cortinas se abrieron
|
| (The curtains parted)
| (Las cortinas se abrieron)
|
| And there stood Minnie
| Y allí estaba Minnie
|
| Kicking the gong around | Pateando el gong |
