I Saw a Ship A-sailing

Eu vi um navio de A-vela

I Saw a Ship A-sailing

Eu vi um navio de uma vela,I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-vela no mar;A-sailing on the sea;
E oh, era tudo ladenAnd oh, it was all laden
Com as coisas bonitas para ti!With pretty things for thee!

Havia confeitos na cabine,There were comfits in the cabin,
E maçãs no porão;And apples in the hold;
As velas eram feitas de seda,The sails were made of silk,
E os mastros foram feitos de ouro.And the masts were made of gold.

Os vinte e quatro marinheiros,The four and twenty sailors,
Isso ficou entre as plataformas,That stood between the decks,
Foram vinte e quatro ratos brancos,Were four and twenty white mice,
Com cadeias sobre seus pescoços.With chains about their necks.

O capitão era um pato,The captain was a duck,
Com um pacote de costas;With a packet on his back;
E quando o navio começou a se mover,And when the ship began to move,
O capitão disse, "quack, quack!"The captain said, "quack, quack!"
