Little Brown Dog

Cachorrinho Marrom

Little Brown Dog

Oh, eu tinha um cachorrinho, a cor dele era marrom.Oh, I had me a little dog, the color it was brown.
Eu ensinei ele a assobiar, a cantar, dançar e correr.I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run.
As pernas dele tinham quatorze metros de comprimento, as orelhas tão largas,His legs, they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide,
Ao redor do mundo em meio dia, e eu podia montar nele.Around the world in half a day, and upon him I could ride.

Canta taddle-o-day, Canta taddle-o-daySing taddle-o-day, Sing taddle-o-day

Eu tinha um rebanho de ovelhas, achava que eram todas machos,I had me a flock of sheep, I thought they were all weathers,
Às vezes elas davam lã, às vezes davam penas.Some times they yielded wool, sometimes they yielded feathers.
Acho que as minhas são as melhores ovelhas, por me darem aumento,I think mine are the best of sheep, for yielding me increase,
A cada lua cheia e nova, elas dão tanto cordeiros quanto gansos.For every full and change of the moon, they yield both lambs and geese.

Canta taddle-o-day, Canta taddle-o-daySing taddle-o-day, Sing taddle-o-day

Oh, eu tinha uma caixinha, a cor, era verde,Oh, I had me a little box, the color, it was green,
E dentro dela estavam todas as maravilhas que o homem já viu.And in it were all the wonders that man had ever seen.
Eu coloquei no meu bolso, amarrei com um pano,I put it in my pocket, I tied it with a cloth,
Eu chorei e chorei no dia em que descobri que tinha se perdido.I cried and cried the day I found that it had been lost.

Canta…..Sing…..

Oh, eu tinha uma galinha, pintada, alegre e bonita,Oh, I had me a little hen, speckled, gay, and fair,
Oh, eu a coloquei em uma concha de ostras, Ela me chocou uma lebre.Oh, I set her on an oyster shell, She hatched me out a hare.
A lebre, ela virou um cavalo, quinze palmos de altura,The hare, it sprang into a horse, fifteen handfuls high,
E quem contar uma história maior vai ter que contar uma mentira.And he who tells a bigger tale will have to tell a lie.

Canta…..Sing…..
