| His father was a dancer before him
| Su padre fue bailarín antes que él.
|
| And his father before him, and his father before him
| Y su padre antes que él, y su padre antes que él
|
| Moving in line with the steps that came down through the years
| Moviéndose en línea con los pasos que bajaron a través de los años
|
| Like a spell through the streets
| Como un hechizo por las calles
|
| Everyone had their stories and family glories
| Todos tenían sus historias y glorias familiares.
|
| Ribbons swayed in the air of a new summer breeze
| Las cintas se mecían en el aire de una nueva brisa de verano
|
| It’s in his very heart, it’s in his very bone
| Está en su corazón, está en su hueso
|
| Absorbed in all its glory, absorbed in all its glory
| Absorbido en todo su esplendor, absorbido en todo su esplendor
|
| It was written in the stone
| Estaba escrito en la piedra
|
| You can see it in the stone
| Puedes verlo en la piedra
|
| Fiddles played with such joy
| Violines tocados con tanta alegría
|
| It’s hard to remember, so hard to remember
| Es difícil de recordar, tan difícil de recordar
|
| When feet felt so light they couldn’t keep still
| Cuando los pies se sentían tan ligeros que no podían quedarse quietos
|
| They said farewell to each spot with a Bonny Green Garter
| Se despidieron de cada spot con una Bonny Green Garter
|
| Joking and laughter
| Bromas y risas
|
| This age-old round carried on
| Esta ronda milenaria continuó
|
| In tune with the year
| A tono con el año
|
| It’s in his very heart, it’s in his very bone
| Está en su corazón, está en su hueso
|
| Absorbed in all its glory, absorbed in all its glory
| Absorbido en todo su esplendor, absorbido en todo su esplendor
|
| It was written in the stone
| Estaba escrito en la piedra
|
| You can see it in the stone
| Puedes verlo en la piedra
|
| The silver watch carried near his breast would have so impressed
| El reloj de plata que llevaba cerca del pecho le habría impresionado tanto
|
| Many younger men who were dancing then
| Muchos hombres jóvenes que estaban bailando entonces
|
| Never missing out a day at school, he was no-one's fool
| Nunca se perdía un día en la escuela, no era el tonto de nadie.
|
| And every now and then he’d sing a song for friends
| Y de vez en cuando cantaba una canción para sus amigos
|
| Abroad for pleasure as I was a-walking
| En el extranjero por placer mientras caminaba
|
| Abroad for pleasure as I was a-walking
| En el extranjero por placer mientras caminaba
|
| Abroad for pleasure as I was a-walking
| En el extranjero por placer mientras caminaba
|
| Abroad for pleasure as I was a-walking
| En el extranjero por placer mientras caminaba
|
| When the day’s end is near the streets start to clear
| Cuando el final del día está cerca, las calles comienzan a despejarse
|
| At the end of the beer
| Al final de la cerveza
|
| His thoughts take him back to the old dancing days
| Sus pensamientos lo llevan de vuelta a los viejos tiempos de baile.
|
| His father a dancer before him and his father before him
| Su padre un bailarín antes que él y su padre antes que él
|
| And his father before him
| Y su padre antes que él
|
| Kept alive all those steps
| Mantuve vivos todos esos pasos
|
| And the tunes that they played
| Y las melodías que tocaron
|
| 'Cause its in his very heart, it’s in his very bone
| Porque está en su corazón, está en su hueso
|
| Absorbed in all its glory, absorbed in all its glory
| Absorbido en todo su esplendor, absorbido en todo su esplendor
|
| Lt was written in the stone
| Estaba escrito en la piedra
|
| It was written in the stone
| Estaba escrito en la piedra
|
| It was written in the stone
| Estaba escrito en la piedra
|
| You can see it in the stone | Puedes verlo en la piedra |
