Traducción de la letra de la canción The Ups And Downs - Steeleye Span

The Ups And Downs (original)

As I was going to Aylesbury all on a market day
A pretty little Aylesbury girl I met upon the way
Her business was to market with butter, cheese and whey
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
As we jogged on together my boys together side by side
By chance this fair maid’s garter it came untied
For fear that she might lose it I unto her did say
Your garter’s come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Your garter’s come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-day
As we rode on together my boys to the outskirts of the town
At length this fair young damsel she stopped and looked around
O since you’ve been so venturesome pray tie it up for me
O I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o-day
O I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And when we got to the apple grove the grass was growing high
I laid this girl upon her back her garter for to tie
While tying of her garter such sights I never did see
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
O since you’ve had your will of me come tell to me your name
Likewise your occupation and where and whence you came
Ma name is Mickey the drover boy from Dublin town come I
And I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And when she got to Aylesbury her butter was not sold
And the losing of her maidenhead it made her blood run cold
He’s gone, he’s gone, he’s gone, she said, he’s not the lad for me
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day

(traducción)

Como iba a ir a Aylesbury todo un día de mercado
Una linda niña de Aylesbury que conocí en el camino
Su negocio era comercializar con mantequilla, queso y suero.
Y ambos trotamos juntos mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y ambos trotamos juntos mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Mientras trotábamos juntos, mis muchachos juntos, uno al lado del otro
Por casualidad, la liga de esta hermosa doncella se desató
Por temor a que lo perdiera, le dije
Tu liga se ha desatado mi amor fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Tu liga se ha desatado mi amor fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Mientras cabalgábamos juntos, mis muchachos hacia las afueras de la ciudad
Finalmente, esta joven y hermosa doncella se detuvo y miró a su alrededor.
Oh, ya que has sido tan aventurero, por favor, átalo para mí
Oh, lo haré si vas al bosque de manzanas fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Oh, lo haré si vas al bosque de manzanas fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y cuando llegamos al manzano la hierba estaba creciendo alta
Puse a esta chica sobre su espalda su liga para atar
Mientras le ataba la liga tales vistas nunca vi
Y ambos trotamos juntos mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y ambos trotamos juntos mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Oh, ya que has tenido tu voluntad de mí, ven y dime tu nombre
Asimismo, su ocupación y dónde y de dónde vino
Mamá se llama Mickey, el chico arriero de la ciudad de Dublín.
Y vivo en el letrero de Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y vivo en el letrero de Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y cuando llegó a Aylesbury su mantequilla no se vendió
Y la pérdida de su virginidad le heló la sangre
Se ha ido, se ha ido, se ha ido, ella dijo, él no es el chico para mí
Porque él vive en el signo de Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Porque él vive en el signo de Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
