Madly They Did Ride
There was a mad man he had a mad wife,
And they lived in a mad town;
And they had children three at birth,
And mad they were every one
The father was mad, the mother was mad,
And the children mad beside;
And they all got on a mad horse,
And madly they did ride.
They rode by night and they rode by day,
Yet never a one of them fell;
They rode so madly all the way,
Till they came to the gates of hell.
Old Nick was glad to see them so mad,
And he gladly let them in:
But he soon grew sorry to see them so merry
And he let them out again.
Loucos Eles Montaram
Havia um homem doido, ele tinha uma mulher doida,
E eles moravam em uma cidade maluca;
E tiveram três filhos ao nascer,
E doidos eram todos eles.
O pai era doido, a mãe era doida,
E os filhos doidos também;
E todos montaram em um cavalo doido,
E loucamente eles cavalgavam.
Cavalgavam à noite e cavalgavam de dia,
Mas nenhum deles caiu;
Cavalgavam tão loucamente o tempo todo,
Até chegarem às portas do inferno.
O velho Nick ficou feliz em vê-los tão doidos,
E ele os deixou entrar com prazer:
Mas logo ficou triste ao vê-los tão alegres
E os deixou sair de novo.
