Traducción de la letra de la canción Mary Had A Little Lamb - The Sunbeams, Songs For Children

Mary Had A Little Lamb (original)

Mary had a little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow,
Ev’rywhere that Mary went,
That lamb was sure to go.
And you could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
He followed her to school one day,
It was against the rules,
Made the children laugh and play to See a lamb at school.
You could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Soon the teacher turned it out,
Still it lingered near,
Waited patiently about till
Mary did appear.
You could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
«But the lamb loved Mary so»,
The eager children cry,
«And Mary loves the lamb, you know»,
The teacher did reply.
And you could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
(Ev'ry body singing)

(traducción)

María tenía un corderito,
Su vellón era blanco como la nieve,
Dondequiera que María fue,
Ese cordero seguramente se iría.
Y se les oía cantar:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Él la siguió a la escuela un día,
Iba en contra de las reglas,
Hizo reír y jugar a los niños al ver un cordero en la escuela.
Podías escucharlos cantar:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Pronto el maestro lo apagó,
Todavía se quedó cerca,
Esperé pacientemente hasta
María apareció.
Podías escucharlos cantar:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
«Pero el cordero amaba tanto a María»,
Los niños ansiosos lloran,
«Y María ama al cordero, ya sabes»,
El profesor respondió.
Y se les oía cantar:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
(Todo el cuerpo cantando)
