| When I was a wee thing and easy led astray
| Cuando era una cosa pequeña y fácil de extraviar
|
| It’s before I would work I would rather sport and play
| Es antes de trabajar, preferiría hacer deporte y jugar.

| It’s before I would work I would rather sport and play

|
| With my Johnny on the banks of red roses
| Con mi Johnny a orillas de rosas rojas
|
| On the banks of red roses my love and I sat down
| A orillas de rosas rojas mi amor y yo nos sentamos
|
| He took out his fiddle and began to play a tune
| Sacó su violín y comenzó a tocar una melodía.
|
| And when the tune was ended, his love broke down and cried
| Y cuando terminó la melodía, su amor se rompió y lloró
|
| Saying, «Johnny, o Johnny, never leave me»
| Diciendo: «Johnny, oh Johnny, nunca me dejes»
|
| He took out his pocket knife and it was long and sharp
| Sacó su navaja de bolsillo y era larga y afilada.
|
| And he plunged it through and through his bonny lassie’s heart
| Y lo hundió a través y a través del corazón de su hermosa muchacha
|
| He plunged it through and through his bonny lassie’s heart
| Lo hundió a través y a través del corazón de su hermosa muchacha.
|
| And he left her to die on the roses
| Y la dejó morir en las rosas
|
| When I was a wee thing and easy led astray
| Cuando era una cosa pequeña y fácil de extraviar
|
| It’s before I would work I would rather sport and play
| Es antes de trabajar, preferiría hacer deporte y jugar.
