| As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
| Mientras caminaba por Hampstead Fair
|
| I came upon Mother Goose -- so I turned her loose --
| Me encontré con Mamá Ganso, así que la solté.
|
| she was screaming.
| ella estaba gritando
|
| And a foreign student said to me --
| Y un estudiante extranjero me dijo:
|
| was it really true there are elephants and lions too

|
| in Piccadilly Circus?

|
| Walked down by the bathing pond
| Caminé por el estanque de baño
|
| to try and catch some sun.
| para intentar tomar un poco de sol.
|
| Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
| Vi al menos a cien colegialas sollozando
|
| into hankerchiefs as one.
| en pañuelos como uno.
|
| I don’t believe they knew
| No creo que supieran
|
| I was a schoolboy.

|
| And a bearded lady said to me --
| Y una señora barbuda me dijo:
|
| if you start your raving and your misbehaving --
| si empiezas a desvariar y a portarte mal,
|
| you’ll be sorry.

|
| Then the chicken-fancier came to play --
| Entonces el criador de pollos vino a jugar...
|
| with his long red beard (and his sister’s weird:
| con su larga barba roja (y su hermana rara:
|
| she drives a lorry).
| ella conduce un camión).
|
| Laughed down by the putting green --
| Reído por el putting green --
|
| I popped `em in their holes.
| Los metí en sus agujeros.
|
| Four and twenty labourers were labouring --
| Veinticuatro obreros trabajaban...
|
| digging up their gold.

|
| I don’t believe they knew
| No creo que supieran
|
| that I was Long John Silver.

|
| Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds
| Vi a Johnny Scarecrow hacer sus rondas
|
| in his jet-black mac (which he won’t give back) --

|
| stole it from a snow man. | se lo robó a un muñeco de nieve. |
