| Ladies and gentlemen, this is a song about an old man.
| Damas y caballeros, esta es una canción sobre un anciano.
|
| He had a cow.
| Tenía una vaca.
|
| He had but one cow, and the cow died.
| Solo tenía una vaca, y la vaca murió.
|
| He loved the cow better than his own child.
| Amaba a la vaca más que a su propio hijo.
|
| When the cow died, getting grieved by the cow was going no milk and butter.
| Cuando la vaca murió, entristecerse por la vaca se quedó sin leche ni mantequilla.
|
| At home.
| En casa.
|
| So, here come this song.
| Entonces, aquí viene esta canción.
|
| If you mourn for Dickie, I’ll tell you right now
| Si lloras por Dickie, te lo diré ahora mismo
|
| He was an old man and he had but one cow
| Era un anciano y solo tenia una vaca
|
| Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
| Sobre setos y zanjas y campos que había arado
|
| He ran for his life just to get to his cow
| Corrió por su vida solo para llegar a su vaca
|
| Oh, wicked, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, malvado, malvado Dickie murió
|
| Oh, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, el malvado Dickie murió
|
| If you mourn for Dickie, I’ll tell you right now
| Si lloras por Dickie, te lo diré ahora mismo
|
| He was an old man and he had but one cow
| Era un anciano y solo tenia una vaca
|
| Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
| Sobre setos y zanjas y campos que había arado
|
| He ran for his life just to get to his cow
| Corrió por su vida solo para llegar a su vaca
|
| Oh, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, el malvado Dickie murió
|
| Oh, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, el malvado Dickie murió
|
| When the old man heard that his cow she was dead
| Cuando el viejo oyó que su vaca estaba muerta
|
| over hedges and ditches you see he had fled
| sobre setos y zanjas ves que había huido
|
| Over hedges and ditches and fields that were mown
| Sobre setos y zanjas y campos que fueron segados
|
| he ran for his life just to get to his own
| corrió por su vida solo para llegar a la suya
|
| Oh, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, el malvado Dickie murió
|
| Oh, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, el malvado Dickie murió
|
| Now I sit down and I eat my dried meal
| Ahora me siento y como mi comida seca
|
| but I have no milk what to put in my pail
| pero no tengo leche que poner en mi balde
|
| I have no butter to sop with my bread
| no tengo manteca para untar con mi pan
|
| now old wicked Dickie is dead
| ahora el viejo malvado Dickie está muerto
|
| Oh, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, el malvado Dickie murió
|
| Oh, wicked Dickie done died
| Oh, el malvado Dickie murió
|
| If you mourn for Dickie, I’ll tell you right now
| Si lloras por Dickie, te lo diré ahora mismo
|
| He was an old man and he had but one cow
| Era un anciano y solo tenia una vaca
|
| Over hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
| Sobre setos y zanjas y campos que había arado
|
| He ran for his life just to get to his cow | Corrió por su vida solo para llegar a su vaca |
