There Was A Wealthy Merchant(original) |
There was a wealthy merchant |
In London he did dwell |
He had a beautiful daughter |
The truth to you I’ll tell |
Oh, the truth to you I’ll tell |
She had sweethearts a-plenty |
And men of high degree |
But none but Jack the sailor |
Her true love ere could be |
Oh, her true love ere could be |
Jack he’s gone a-sailing |
With trouble on his mind |
He’s left his king and his country |
And his darling girl behind |
Oh, his darling girl behind |
She went down to a tailor’s shop |
And dressed in men’s array |
She’s signed a bill of passage |
To convey herself away |
Oh, convey herself away |
Before you get on board, Sir |
Your name we’d like to know |
She smiled all in her countenance |
They call me Jack-a-Roe |
Oh, they call me Jack-a-Roe |
I see your waist is slender |
Your fingers they are small |
Your cheeks to red and rosy |
To face the cannonball |
I know my waist is slender |
And my fingers they are small |
But it would not make me tremble |
To see ten thousand fall |
To see them fall |
The war soon being over |
She went and looked around |
Among the dead and wounded |
Her darling boy she found |
Oh, her darling boy she found |
She picked him up all in her arms |
And carried him to the town |
She sent for a physician |
Who quickly healed his wounds |
Oh, who quickly healed his wounds |
This couple they got married |
So well they did agree |
This couple they got married |
So why not you and me? |
Oh, why not you and me? |
(traducción) |
Había un comerciante rico |
En Londres moró |
El tenia una hermosa hija |
La verdad a ti te diré |
Oh, la verdad a ti te diré |
Ella tenía novios en abundancia |
Y los hombres de alto grado |
Pero nadie más que Jack el marinero |
Su verdadero amor podría ser |
Oh, su verdadero amor podría ser |
Jack se ha ido a navegar |
Con problemas en su mente |
Ha dejado a su rey y su país. |
Y su querida niña detrás |
Oh, su querida niña detrás |
Bajó a la tienda de un sastre |
Y vestido con ropa de hombre |
Ella ha firmado un documento de paso |
Para transportarse lejos |
Oh, transpórtate lejos |
Antes de subir a bordo, señor |
Tu nombre nos gustaría saber |
Ella sonrió todo en su semblante |
Me llaman Jack-a-Roe |
Oh, me llaman Jack-a-Roe |
Veo que tu cintura es delgada |
Tus dedos son pequeños |
Tus mejillas rojas y rosadas |
Para enfrentar la bala de cañón |
Sé que mi cintura es delgada |
Y mis dedos son pequeños |
Pero no me haría temblar |
Ver caer diez mil |
Para verlos caer |
La guerra pronto terminará |
Ella fue y miró a su alrededor |
Entre los muertos y heridos |
Su querido niño que encontró |
Oh, su querido niño que encontró |
Ella lo recogió todo en sus brazos |
y lo llevó al pueblo |
Ella envió por un médico |
Quien rápidamente sanó sus heridas |
Oh, quien rápidamente sanó sus heridas |
Esta pareja se casaron |
Tan bien que estuvieron de acuerdo |
Esta pareja se casaron |
Entonces, ¿por qué no tú y yo? |
Oh, ¿por qué no tú y yo? |
