| There was a day in September
| Hubo un día en septiembre
|
| As clear as I can remember
| Tan claro como puedo recordar
|
| I was visiting Kingston town
| Estaba visitando la ciudad de Kingston
|
| And taking a look around
| Y echando un vistazo alrededor
|
| I saw a cute little fellow
| Vi a un pequeño y lindo compañero
|
| Who was looking downhearted
| ¿Quién estaba mirando desanimado?
|
| When I asked what the matter could be
| Cuando le pregunté cuál podría ser el problema
|
| He stopped to tell the story
| Se detuvo a contar la historia
|
| I had a little donkey
| yo tenia un burrito
|
| And he done got locked up
| Y lo terminaron encerrando
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| They stick him in the jail
| Lo meten en la carcel
|
| And he ain’t done nothing
| Y él no ha hecho nada
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| Got him peeping through the bars
| Lo tengo mirando a través de los barrotes
|
| Like a little monkey
| Como un pequeño mono
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| The folks all say
| toda la gente dice
|
| He been a real bad donkey
| Ha sido un burro realmente malo
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| They say he’s acting
| Dicen que está actuando
|
| Like there’s rum in his hay
| Como si hubiera ron en su heno
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| He wasn’t drunk
| no estaba borracho
|
| He just wanna play
| Él solo quiere jugar
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| I hear they’re gonna
| Escuché que van a
|
| Have a trial in the morning
| Tener un juicio en la mañana
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| I’m gonna tell the judge
| voy a decirle al juez
|
| That he ain’t done nothing
| Que no ha hecho nada
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| La la la la la…
| La la la la la la…
|
| First he bumped Mrs. Mary
| Primero golpeó a la Sra. Mary
|
| And then he bite the policeman
| Y luego muerde al policía
|
| Turn and broke Mr. Webster’s cart
| Gire y rompió el carro del Sr. Webster
|
| Which was almost fallen apart
| que casi se cae a pedazos
|
| He started a little riot
| Empezó un pequeño alboroto
|
| But now there’s peace and there’s quiet
| Pero ahora hay paz y tranquilidad
|
| See how he done empty the street
| Mira cómo vació la calle
|
| Ain’t no one to trip your feet
| No hay nadie para tropezar con tus pies
|
| I had a little donkey
| yo tenia un burrito
|
| And he done got locked up
| Y lo terminaron encerrando
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| They stick him in the jail
| Lo meten en la carcel
|
| And he ain’t done nothing
| Y él no ha hecho nada
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
|
| Got him peeping through the bars
| Lo tengo mirando a través de los barrotes
|
| Like a little monkey
| Como un pequeño mono
|
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum)

| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) | Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
