The pith of history

Um bando de normandos bêbados veio em um passeio de Boulogne,A bunch of drunken Normans came on a day trip from Boulogne,
Compraram seus cigarros de free shop e algumas garrafas de vinho.They bought their duty free fags and a couple of bottles of woine
Tomaram uma ou duas cervejas inglesas que os deixaram animados,They had an English beer or two which filled them with such zest
Pensaram em comprar narizes vermelhos, pois era uma busca de narizes normandos.They thought they'd buy red noses for this was a Norman conk quest

(Ch) Me explica isso de novo, a essência da história.(Ch) Run this by me once more, the pith of history

Não havia narizes para comprar, pois ainda não tinham sido inventados,There were no noses to be bought for they had not been invented
E com as barrigas cheias de cerveja, os franceses estavam descontentes.And with their bellies full of beer the French were discontented
Então Bill, o chefe, disse para a rapaziada sair pra farra,So Bill the boss told all his lads to go out on the spree
Quebrar algumas vitrines e dar uma surra em velhinhos na rua.Kick some plate glass windows in and bash up OAPs

Quando ele chegou na costa, a batalha já estava a todo vapor,By the time he got down to the coast a battle was in full swing
Pedaços de corpos voando e sujeira por todo lado.There was bits of bodies flying about and lumps of dirt and things
E um dos caras dele diz: 'O que vamos fazer? Não podemos deixar assim!'And one of his blokes says 'what'll we do we can't just let things lie?'
'Espera aí,' diz Harold, 'tem algo no meu olho.''Hang about' says Harold 'I've got something in my eye'
