Uncle Pen

Tio Pen

Uncle Pen

No final da tarde, ao pôr do sol, lá no alto da colina e acima da cidadeLate in the evenin' about sundown high on the hill and above the town
Tio Pen tocava o violino e como ele fazia ecoarUncle Pen played the fiddle and oh how it would ring
Você podia ouvir ele falar, você podia ouvir ele cantarYou could hear it talk you could hear it sing

Bem, o povo vinha de longe, dançava a noite toda até o amanhecerWell the people would come from far away they'd dance all night till the break of day
Quando o chamador gritava 'do-se-do', sabíamos que o Tio Pen estava pronto pra tocarWhen the caller hollered do-se-do we knew Uncle Pen was ready to go
No final da tarde...Late in the evenin'...

Ele tocava uma velha canção chamada 'Alegria do Soldado' e a que chamavam de 'Garoto de Boston'Well he played an old tune called Soldier's Joy and the one they called Boston Boy
O maior de todos era Jenny Lind, pra mim foi aí que a música começouThe greatest of all was Jenny Lind to me that's where the fiddlin' began
No final da tarde...Late in the evenin'...
[ violino ][ fiddle ]
Bem, eu nunca vou esquecer aquele dia triste quando o Tio Pen teve que partirWell I'll never forget that mournful day when Uncle Pen was called away
Desligar seu violino, guardar seu arco, sabia que era hora de irHang up his fiddle hang up his bow knew it was time for him to go
No final da tarde...Late in the evenin'...
