The Tortoise(original) |
He was just a lonely tortoise looking for a home |
His tiny feet were blistered with the miles he had to Roam |
I found him in a pet shop |
On his cheek there was a tear |
And painted on his little back |
Was 20 pence to clear |
(CHORUS) |
He’s a faithful friend the tortoise |
He’ll love you till the end |
And you won’t need a person with a tortoise for a Friend |
I took him from the petshop, tied to a piece of string |
I’m sure that he was happy for I thoght I heard him |
Sing |
I took him to my sports car, we had manys the mile to Go |
I tied him to the bumper, he was grateful for the tow |
(CHORUS) |
In winter he would hibernate |
Yes, we’d both retire |
And when his feet, his tiny feet, got cold |
I’d place him on the fire |
In summer by the swimming pool |
I was so proud of him |
I’d throw him in, and then he’d sink |
I don’t think he could swim |
(CHORUS) |
Then came the day that’s coming to all creatures great |
And small |
A drunken driver hit my friend, he smashed himagainst a Wall |
When I arrived all I could find were little bits of Shell |
I made them into plectrums, I know my plectrums well |
(traducción) |
Era solo una tortuga solitaria que buscaba un hogar. |
Sus diminutos pies estaban llenos de ampollas con las millas que tuvo que recorrer |
Lo encontré en una tienda de mascotas. |
En su mejilla había una lágrima |
Y pintado en su pequeña espalda |
Fueron 20 peniques para borrar |
(CORO) |
Es un amigo fiel la tortuga |
Él te amará hasta el final. |
Y no necesitarás a una persona con una tortuga por Amigo |
Lo saqué de la tienda de mascotas, atado a un trozo de cuerda. |
Estoy seguro de que estaba feliz porque me pareció escucharlo. |
Cantar |
Lo llevé a mi auto deportivo, teníamos muchas millas por recorrer |
Lo até al parachoques, agradeció el remolque |
(CORO) |
En invierno hiberna |
Sí, los dos nos retiraríamos |
Y cuando sus pies, sus diminutos pies, se enfriaron |
lo pondría en el fuego |
En verano junto a la piscina |
Estaba tan orgulloso de el |
Lo arrojaría y luego se hundiría |
No creo que supiera nadar. |
(CORO) |
Entonces llegó el día que viene a todas las criaturas grandes |
Y pequeña |
Un conductor ebrio atropelló a mi amigo, lo estrelló contra una pared |
Cuando llegué, todo lo que pude encontrar fueron pedacitos de Shell |
Los hice púas, conozco bien mis púas |
