Traducción de la letra de la canción Don't You Rock Me Daddy - Lonnie Donegan

Don't You Rock Me Daddy (original)

Me an' my brother was goin' to town
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Ridin' a billy goat, leadin' a hound
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Hound dog bark, billy goat jump,
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Throw’d my brother right over that stump
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Well, my old auntie promised me
Sing away, ladies, sing away
When she died she’s will to me
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Well, she lived so long her head got bald
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Why, she got out the notion of dyin' at all.
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Ah, me an' my brother was comin' into town
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Ridin' a billy goat, leadin' a hound
Sing away, ladies, sing away
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me, Daddy-O
Don’t you rock me… Daddy-O!

Don't You Rock Me Daddy (traducción)

Yo y mi hermano íbamos a la ciudad
Canten, señoras, canten
Montando un macho cabrío, guiando un sabueso
Canten, señoras, canten
Ladrido de perro sabueso, salto de macho cabrío,
Canten, señoras, canten
Arrojé a mi hermano justo sobre ese tocón
Canten, señoras, canten
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
Bueno, mi vieja tía me prometió
Canten, señoras, canten
Cuando ella muera ella me lo dejara
Canten, señoras, canten
Bueno, ella vivió tanto tiempo que su cabeza se quedó calva
Canten, señoras, canten
Vaya, se le ocurrió la idea de morir.
Canten, señoras, canten
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
Canten, señoras, canten
Canten, señoras, canten
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
Ah, yo y mi hermano veníamos a la ciudad
Canten, señoras, canten
Montando un macho cabrío, guiando un sabueso
Canten, señoras, canten
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas, papi-o
No me mezas… ¡Papi-O!
