The Cherry Tree Carol TRADUÇÃO - Peter Paul And Mary (Impressão)

When joseph was an old man, an old man was he

He married virgin mary, the queen of galilee

And one day as they went walking, all in the garden green

There were berries and cherries as thick as may be seen

Then mary said to joseph, so meek and so mild

Joseph, gather me some cherries for I am with child

The joseph flew in anger, in anger flew he

Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee

Then up spoke baby jesus, from out mary's womb

Bow down ye tallest tree that my mother might have some

So bent down the tallest tree to touch mary's hand

Said she, oh look now joseph, I have cherries at command

When joseph was an old man, an old man was he

He married virgin mary, the queen of galilee

Quando José era um velho, um velho ele era

Casou com a Virgem Maria, a rainha da Galileia

E um dia, enquanto caminhavam, todo no jardim verde

Havia frutas e cerejas tão densas quanto se pode ver

Então Maria disse a José, tão mansa e tão calma

José, me arruma umas cerejas que estou grávida, na alma

José ficou furioso, furioso ele ficou

Deixa o pai do bebê pegar as cerejas pra você, ô

Então falou o menino Jesus, do ventre de Maria

Abaixe-se, árvore alta, pra minha mãe ter alegria

Então a árvore mais alta se curvou pra tocar a mão de Maria

Disse ela, oh olha agora, José, tenho cerejas à minha disposição

Quando José era um velho, um velho ele era

Casou com a Virgem Maria, a rainha da Galileia
