Wicked Dickie

O Velho Dickie

Wicked Dickie

Senhoras e senhores, essa é uma canção sobre um velhoLadies and gentlemen, this is a song about an old man
Ele tinha uma vacaHe had a cow
Ele tinha apenas uma vaca, e a vaca morreuHe had but one cow, and the cow died
Ele amava a vaca mais do que seu próprio filhoHe loved the cow better than his own child
Quando a vaca morreu, a tristeza era não ter leite e manteigaWhen the cow died, getting grieved by the cow was going no milk and butter
Em casaAt home
Então, aqui vem essa cançãoSo, here come this song

Se você chora pelo Dickie, eu te digo agoraIf you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now
Ele era um velho e tinha apenas uma vacaHe was an old man and he had but one cow
Por cercas e valas e campos que ele arouOver hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
Ele correu pela vida só pra chegar na sua vacaHe ran for his life just to get to his cow

Oh, o malvado, malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked, wicked Dickie done died
Oh, o malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked Dickie done died

Se você chora pelo Dickie, eu te digo agoraIf you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now
Ele era um velho e tinha apenas uma vacaHe was an old man and he had but one cow
Por cercas e valas e campos que ele arouOver hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
Ele correu pela vida só pra chegar na sua vacaHe ran for his life just to get to his cow

Oh, o malvado, malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked Dickie done died
Oh, o malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked Dickie done died

Quando o velho ouviu que sua vaca tinha morridoWhen the old man heard that his cow she was dead
Por cercas e valas você vê que ele fugiuOver hedges and ditches you see he had fled
Por cercas e valas e campos que foram cortadosOver hedges and ditches and fields that were mown
Ele correu pela vida só pra chegar na suaHe ran for his life just to get to his own

Oh, o malvado, malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked Dickie done died
Oh, o malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked Dickie done died

Agora eu me sento e como minha comida secaNow I sit down and I eat my dried meal
Mas não tenho leite pra colocar no meu baldeBut I have no milk what to put in my pail
Não tenho manteiga pra molhar meu pãoI have no butter to sop with my bread
Agora o velho malvado Dickie está mortoNow old wicked Dickie is dead

Oh, o malvado, malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked Dickie done died
Oh, o malvado Dickie morreuOh, wicked Dickie done died

Se você chora pelo Dickie, eu te digo agoraIf you mourn for Dickie, I'll tell you right now
Ele era um velho e tinha apenas uma vacaHe was an old man and he had but one cow
Por cercas e valas e campos que ele arouOver hedges and ditches and fields he had plowed
Ele correu pela vida só pra chegar na sua vacaHe ran for his life just to get to his cow
