| A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
| Un barrido es tan afortunado como puede serlo
|
| Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey

| Good luck will rub off when I shakes hands with you
| La buena suerte se borrará cuando te de la mano.
|
| Or blow me a kiss and that’s lucky too
| O sácame un beso y eso también es suerte
|
| Chim chim chim-in-ey, chim chim chim-in-ey
| Chim chim chim-in-ey, chim chim chim-in-ey
|
| Now, as the ladder of life has been strung
| Ahora, como la escalera de la vida ha sido tendida
|
| You may think a sweep’s on the bottommost rung
| Puedes pensar que hay un barrido en el último peldaño
|
| Though I spend my time in the ashes and that hm-hmm
| Aunque paso mi tiempo en las cenizas y eso hm-hmm
|
| In this whole wide world there’s no happier cat
| En todo este ancho mundo no hay gato más feliz
|

|
| I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do
| Me elijo cerdas de orgullo, sí, lo hago
|
| A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flute
| Una escoba para el asta y un cepillo para la flauta
|
| Though I’m covered in soot from my head to my toe
| Aunque estoy cubierto de hollín desde la cabeza hasta los pies
|
| A sweep knows he’s welcome where’er he goes
| Un barrido sabe que es bienvenido donde quiera que vaya
|
