How Long Has This Been Going On
(original)
As a tot, when I trotted in little velvet panties,
I was kissed by my sisters, my cousins, and my aunties.
Sad to tell, it was hell, an inferno worse than Dante’s.
So my dear I swore,
«Never, never more!»
On my list, I insisted that kissing must be crossed out.
Now, I find I was blind, and oh my!
How I lost out!
I could cry salty tears,
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now,
How long has this been going on?
There were chills up my spine,
And some thrills I can’t define.
Listen, sweet, I repeat,
How long has this been going on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt,
Into Heaven I’m hurled!
I know how Columbus felt,
Finding another world.
Kiss me once, then once more.
What a dunce I was before.
What a break!
For Heaven’s sake!
How long has this been going on?
Dear, when in your arms I creep,
That divine rendezvous,
Don’t wake me, if I’m asleep,
Let me dream that it’s true!
Kiss me twice, then once more.
That makes thrice, let’s make it four!
What a break!
For Heaven’s sake!
How long has this been going on?
How long has this, been going on?
(traducción)
De pequeño, cuando trotaba en calzoncillos de terciopelo,
Mis hermanas, mis primas y mis tías me besaron.
Lamentablemente, fue un infierno, un infierno peor que el de Dante.
Así que mi querido juré,
«¡Nunca, nunca más!»
En mi lista, insistí en que los besos debían ser tachados.
Ahora, descubro que estaba ciego, y ¡oh, Dios mío!
