The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death(original) |
They smiled so much and waved their flags |
As she saluted to the military band |
Most of the people failed to see |
She had a broken bottle in the other hand |
And she took them by surprise |
When she took them by the throat |
And said «My friend you’re not allowed to vote» |
But they shook it all off |
With a nervous laugh and cough |
«Next time,"she said «I'll let those people choke» |
The people who grinned themselves to death |
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath |
And even when their kids were starving |
They all thought the queen was charming |
She polished all upon the wall |
And ran her hands right through her hair |
So if the lady took the time to call |
All the houses on the street would not compare |
And she thought it really funny |
That she hadn’t any money |
But those she looked up to, they had |
But they shook it all off |
With a nervous laugh and cough |
And when they took her riches it was sad |
The people who grinned themselves to death |
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath |
And even when their kids were starving |
They all thought the queen was charming |
(traducción) |
Sonrieron tanto y ondearon sus banderas |
Mientras saludaba a la banda militar |
La mayoría de la gente no pudo ver |
Tenía una botella rota en la otra mano |
Y ella los tomó por sorpresa |
Cuando ella los tomó por la garganta |
Y dijo "Amigo mío, no puedes votar" |
Pero se sacudieron todo |
Con una risa nerviosa y tos |
«La próxima vez», dijo «Dejaré que esa gente se ahogue» |
La gente que se sonreía a sí misma hasta la muerte |
Sonrieron tanto que no pudieron respirar |
E incluso cuando sus hijos se morían de hambre |
Todos pensaban que la reina era encantadora. |
Ella pulió todo sobre la pared |
Y se pasó las manos por el pelo |
Entonces, si la dama se tomó el tiempo de llamar |
Todas las casas en la calle no se compararían |
Y ella pensó que era muy divertido |
que ella no tenia dinero |
Pero aquellos a los que ella admiraba, tenían |
Pero se sacudieron todo |
Con una risa nerviosa y tos |
Y cuando le quitaron las riquezas fue triste |
La gente que se sonreía a sí misma hasta la muerte |
Sonrieron tanto que no pudieron respirar |
E incluso cuando sus hijos se morían de hambre |
Todos pensaban que la reina era encantadora. |
