Beetle Bottle Bush

O Arbusto da Garrafa de Besouro

Beetle Bottle Bush

Ela lavou as roupas de manhã,She washed the clothes in the morning,
E as pendurou pra secar,And hung them out to dry,
E lá ela viu o menino de cabelo claro,And there she saw the tawny-headed boy,
Que cantava ao passar,Who sang as he went by,

Vamos dar a volta no Arbusto da Garrafa de Besouro,Here we go round the Beetle Bottle Bush,
O Arbusto da Garrafa de Besouro, Garrafa de Besouro,The Beetle Bottle Beetle Bottle Bush, Bottle Bush,
Vamos dar a volta no Arbusto da Garrafa de Besouro,Here we go round the Beetle Bottle Bush,
E você não quer ser meu amor?And won't you be my darling.

Ela assou o pão de manhã,She baked the bread in the morning,
E a mãe disse que ficou ótimo,And Ma said it looked great,
E então ela viu o menino de cabelo claroAnd then she saw the tawny-headed boy
Parado no portão do jardim.Standing at the garden gate.

Ela fez a geleia de manhã,She cooked the jam in the morning,
E, nossa, o cheiro tava bom,And oh, it smelled like more,
E lá ela viu o menino de cabelo claroAnd there she saw the tawny-headed boy
Parado na porta da cozinha.Standing at the kitchen door.

Ela deu o café da manhã pro menino,She gave the boy his breakfast,
E ele comeu tudo rapidinho,And he stowed it all away,
E ele perguntou se ela seria sua esposinha,And he asked her if she'd be his little wife,
E faria seu café todo dia.And cook his breakfast every day.

Ela fez seu vestido de manhã,She made her dress in the morning,
E caminhou pelo corredor,And walked on down the aisle,
Junto com o menino de cabelo claroAll along with the tawny-headed boy
Que sorriu um sorriso doce.Who smiled a honey-colored smile.

Tem crianças de cabelo claro na cozinha dela,There's tawny-headed kids in her kitchen,
Tão lindas quanto podem ser,As pretty as they can be,
E ela lava as roupas delas, limpa o nariz,And she washes their clothes, and wipes their nose,
E todos cantam felizes:And they all sing merrily:
