| Twas down by Carterhaugh Father
| Twas abajo por Carterhaugh Padre
|
| Between the water and the wall
| Entre el agua y la pared
|
| There i met with a wee wee man
| Allí me encontré con un hombrecito
|
| And he was the least that ever I saw
| Y él fue lo mínimo que vi
|
| His legs were scarce a finger’s length
| Sus piernas medían apenas un dedo de largo
|
| And thick and nimble was his knee
| Y gruesa y ágil era su rodilla
|
| Between his eyes a flea could go
| Entre sus ojos podría ir una pulga
|
| Between his shoulders were inches three
| Entre sus hombros había pulgadas tres
|
| His beard was long and white as as swan
| Su barba era larga y blanca como un cisne
|
| His robe was neither green nor grey
| Su túnica no era ni verde ni gris.
|
| He clapped his hands, down came the mist
| Aplaudió, bajó la niebla
|
| And he sank and he’s fainted clean away
| Y se hundió y se desmayó completamente
|
| He pulled up a stone six feet in height
| Arrancó una piedra de seis pies de altura
|
| And flung it farther than I could see
| Y lo arrojó más lejos de lo que podía ver
|
| And though I’d been a giant born
| Y aunque había nacido un gigante
|
| I’d never had lifted it to my knee
| Nunca lo había levantado hasta la rodilla
|
| O Wee Wee Man but thou are strong
| O Wee Wee Man, pero tú eres fuerte
|
| Come tell me where thy dwelling be
| Ven, dime dónde está tu morada
|
| I dwell beneath a bonny green bower
| Habito debajo de una hermosa glorieta verde
|
| O will ye come with me and see?
| Oh, ¿quieres venir conmigo y ver?
|
| We rode on and we sped on
| Cabalgamos y aceleramos
|
| Until we came to a bonny green hall
| Hasta que llegamos a un hermoso salón verde
|
| The roof was made of the beaten gold
| El techo estaba hecho de oro batido
|
| And purest crystal was the floor
| Y el cristal más puro era el piso
|
| There were pipers playing on every stair
| Había gaiteros tocando en cada escalera
|
| And ladies dancing in glistering green
| Y damas bailando en un verde brillante
|
| He clapped his hands, down came the mist
| Aplaudió, bajó la niebla
|
| And the man and the hall no more were seen | Y el hombre y la sala no se vieron más |
