The Trolley Song

A Canção do Bonde

The Trolley Song

Clang, clang, clang fez o bondeClang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding soou o sinoDing, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing foram as cordas do meu coraçãoZing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
Desde o momento em que o vi, me apaixoneiFrom the moment I saw him I fell

Chug, chug, chug foi o motorChug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump foi o freioBump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump foram as cordas do meu coraçãoThump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
Quando ele sorriu, senti o carro tremerWhen he smiled I could feel the car shake

Ele tirou o chapéuHe tipped his hat
E se sentouAnd took a seat
Disse que esperavaHe said he hoped
Não ter pisado no meu péHe hadn't stepped upon my feet
Ele perguntou meu nomeHe asked my name
Eu segurei a respiraçãoI held my breath
Não consegui falarI couldn't speak
Porque ele me deixou apavoradaBecause he scared me half to death

Buzz, buzz, buzz soou o sinalBuzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop foram as rodasPlop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop foram as cordas do meu coraçãoStop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
Quando ele começou a irAs he started to go
Então comecei a entender como éThen I started to know how it feels
Quando o universo giraWhen the universe reels

Quando o bondeWhen the trolley
Quando o sinoWhen the bell
Quando as cordas do meu coraçãoWhen my heartstrings
Desde o momento em que o vi, me apaixoneiFor the moment I saw him I fell

Chug, chug, chug foi o motorChug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump foi o freioBump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump foram as cordas do meu coraçãoThump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
Quando ele sorriu, senti o carro tremerWhen he smiled I could feel the car shake

Ele tirou o chapéuHe tipped his hat
E se sentouAnd took a seat
Disse que esperavaHe said he hoped
Não ter pisado no meu péHe hadn't stepped upon my feet
Ele perguntou meu nomeHe asked my name
Eu segurei a respiraçãoI held my breath
Não consegui falarI couldn't speak
Porque ele me deixou apavoradaBecause he scared me half to death

Buzz, buzz, buzz soou o sinalBuzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop foram as rodasPlop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop foram as cordas do meu coraçãoStop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
Quando ele começou a sairAs he started to leave
Eu segurei a manga da camisa dele com a minha mãoI took hold of his sleeve with my hand
E como se fosse planejadoAnd as if it were planned
Ele ficou comigoHe stayed on with me
E foi incrívelAnd it was grand
Só de ficar com a mão dele segurando a minhaJust to stand with his hand holding mine
Até o final da linhaTo the end of the line
