Kelly's Wellies

As Botas do Kelly

Kelly's Wellies

Quando eu era bem novinho, conheci um garoto de BallybunionWhen I was a young un', I knew a lad from Ballybunion
Ele não tinha um tostão furado, você pode dizerHe hadn't got a single penny to his name, you might say
Ele usava um casaco rasgado, e como dois barcos de borrachaHe had a raggedy coat, and like two rubber boats
Ele mantinha suas botas de borracha de dezembro a maioHe kept his wellington boots on from December to May

Refrão:Chorus:
Era o Kevin Kelly, com suas botas cortadasIt was Kevin Kelly, with his chopped off wellies
No meio do verão ele estava se achando!In the middle of the summer time he was looking fine!
As calças tinham buracos nos joelhos, mas ele estava todo orgulhosoHis pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please
Com suas velhas botas, ele seguia caminhandoWith his ol' wellies he keep strolling along

Conforme fomos crescendo, ficando mais espertos e ousados, e as garotas que a gente queria também foram envelhecendoAs we got older and slyer and bolder and the girls we had our eyes on they got older as well
Com tinta no rosto (com tinta no rosto) e curvas em lugares bonitos (curvas em lugares bonitos!)With paint on their faces (with paint on their faces) and curves in nice places (curves in nice places!)
Estávamos vestidos pra impressionar e achávamos que éramos o máximo!We were dressed to impress them and we thought we were swell!
Bem, nossas roupas estavam na moda (roupas estavam na moda!) pra acender a paixão delas (acender a paixão delas!)Well our duds were in fashion (duds were in fashion!) to kindle their passion (kindle their passion!)
Mas lá estava o Kevin na pista de dança, parecendo tudo menos arrumadoBut there was Kevin on the dance floor looking anything but neat
Ele estava tentando flertar (ele estava tentando flertar) com sua camisa de segunda mão, (com sua camisa de segunda mão!) com as mesmas velhas botas nos pés grandes!He was tryin' to flirt (he was tryin' to flirt) in his hand-me-down shirt, (in his hand-me-down shirt!) with the same ol' wellies on his two big feet!

Era o Kevin Kelly, com suas botas cortadasIt was Kevin Kelly, with his chopped off wellies
No meio do verão ele estava se achando!In the middle of the summer time he was looking fine!
As calças tinham buracos nos joelhos, mas ele estava todo orgulhosoHis pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please
Com suas velhas botas, ele seguia caminhandoWith his ol' wellies he keep strolling along

Bem, a gente tirava sarro dele e zombava, mas isso nunca o abalou, ele pintou uns cadarços e cortou pra parecer sapatos.Well we teased him and we mocked him, but sure that never shocked him, he painted on some laces and cut them down to look like shoes.
Ele era pobre, mas tinha estilo, fazia todo mundo sorrirHe was poor but he had style, he made everybody smile
Ele usava suas velhas botas!He wore his ol' wellies!
Ele usava suas velhas botas!He wore his ol' wellies!
Ele usava suas velhas botas!He wore his ol' wellies!
Como se não tivesse nada a perder!Like he'd nothin' to lose!

Na próxima vez que o encontramos, (na próxima vez que o encontramos) as garotas estavam todas em volta dele (as garotas estavam em volta dele)The next time we found him, (next time we found him) well the girls were all around him (Girls were all around him)
Ele estava arrasando na dança, feliz como nuncaHe was busting the moves, he was happy as can be
Uma das garotas se aproximou, (uma das garotas se aproximou) e sussurrou no meu ouvido...One of the girls came near, (One of the girls came near) and whispered in my ear...
"Só os meninos que usam suas botas têm chance comigo.""Only boys who wear their wellies have a chance wit' me."

Era o Kevin Kelly, com suas botas cortadasIt was Kevin Kelly, with his chopped off wellies
No meio do verão ele estava se achando! (Ele estava se achando!)In the middle of the summer time he was looking fine! (He was looking fine!)
As calças tinham buracos nos joelhos, mas ele estava todo orgulhosoHis pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please
Com suas velhas botas, ele seguia caminhandoWith his ol' wellies he keep strolling along
