O rei que não sorria

The King Who Wouldn't Smile

Havia um rei que não sorria
There was a king who wouldn't smile
Sente-se no banheiro lendo o julgamento
Sat on the toilet reading the trial
Seus cães perseguiram a rodada e a rodada
His dogs chased their tails 'round and 'round
Carros minúsculos chegaram recheados com palhaços que lhe serviram ovos de codorna na torrada
Midget cars arrived stuffed with clowns who served him quail eggs on toast
Havia um rei que nunca riu
There was a king who never laughed
Apaixonado por um bezerro de duas cabeças
Fell in love with a two-headed calf
Encheu o banho com lâminas de barbear
Filled his bath with razor blades
Tatuou seu braço com o ás de espadas, mas a grama se divertiu com seus sapatos
Tattooed his arm with the ace of spades, but the grass made fun of his shoes
Havia rei que chorava e chorava
There was king who cried and cried
Os ratos rastejaram em seus sapatos para morrer
Mice crawled in his shoes to die
Ele chorou tanto que os rebanhos de cervos se reuniram para lamber suas lágrimas salgadas
He cried so much that herds of deer gathered to lick his salty tears
Então o rei rastejou debaixo da cama
So the king crawled under his bed
Como um peixe no fundo de um balde, como um crickets de uma baleia
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail, like a cricketswallowed by a whale
Como um pedaço de canudo que mata a cauda, ​​o rei que não sorria
Like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail, the king who wouldn't smile
