| Mr. John Lee knew about your family
| El Sr. John Lee sabía sobre su familia.
|
| You came when I was lonesome
| Viniste cuando estaba solo
|
| In the fairest of the spring
| En la más bella de la primavera
|
| But I did not care for your wedding ring
| Pero no me importaba tu anillo de bodas
|
| But I did care for Marie
| Pero me preocupé por Marie
|
| Farewell, my sweet
| Adiós, mi dulce
|
| Bowled you off and took me
| Te derribó y me llevó
|
| How my hair was a raven
| Como mi pelo era un cuervo
|
| And my eyes were shining bright
| Y mis ojos brillaban intensamente
|
| But I did not love you quite as well
| Pero no te amaba tan bien
|
| As your darling loving wife
| Como tu querida esposa amorosa
|
| But every time that you see
| Pero cada vez que ves
|
| Your Velveteen Rose
| Tu rosa de terciopelo
|
| Then think of how you once called me
| Entonces piensa en cómo me llamaste una vez
|
| Your Velveteen Rose
| Tu rosa de terciopelo
|
| Mr. John Lee
| Sr. John Lee
|
| 'Twas an act that you told me
| Fue un acto que me dijiste
|
| The burning thoughts you harbored me
| Los pensamientos ardientes que me albergaste
|
| The sheriff found your sweet Marie
| El sheriff encontró a tu dulce Marie
|
| Floating by the river weeds
| Flotando por las malas hierbas del río
|
| In the fields of green
| En los campos de verde
|
| But every time that you see
| Pero cada vez que ves
|
| Your Velveteen Rose
| Tu rosa de terciopelo
|
| Then think of how you once called me
| Entonces piensa en cómo me llamaste una vez
|
| Your Velveteen Rose | Tu rosa de terciopelo |
