Madly They Did Ride

Loucos Eles Montaram

Madly They Did Ride

Havia um homem doido, ele tinha uma mulher doida,There was a mad man he had a mad wife,
E eles moravam em uma cidade maluca;And they lived in a mad town;
E tiveram três filhos ao nascer,And they had children three at birth,
E doidos eram todos eles.And mad they were every one

O pai era doido, a mãe era doida,The father was mad, the mother was mad,
E os filhos doidos também;And the children mad beside;
E todos montaram em um cavalo doido,And they all got on a mad horse,
E loucamente eles cavalgavam.And madly they did ride.

Cavalgavam à noite e cavalgavam de dia,They rode by night and they rode by day,
Mas nenhum deles caiu;Yet never a one of them fell;
Cavalgavam tão loucamente o tempo todo,They rode so madly all the way,
Até chegarem às portas do inferno.Till they came to the gates of hell.

O velho Nick ficou feliz em vê-los tão doidos,Old Nick was glad to see them so mad,
E ele os deixou entrar com prazer:And he gladly let them in:
Mas logo ficou triste ao vê-los tão alegresBut he soon grew sorry to see them so merry
E os deixou sair de novo.And he let them out again.
