| There once was a peddler passing by
| C'era una volta un venditore ambulante di passaggio
|
| His cart with fruit was laden high
| Il suo carro di frutta era alto
|
| And as he drove along he cried
| E mentre guidava, piangeva
|
| Across the village green
| Attraverso il villaggio verde
|
| Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-zoo)
| Piangere mele, pesche e ciliegie (Scooby-dooby-scoo-zoo)
|
| Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries
| Mele (mele), pesche (pesche) e ciliegie
|
| His daughter sat beside him there
| Sua figlia sedeva lì accanto a lui
|
| She was young and she was fair
| Era giovane ed era giusta
|
| All glowing with a beauty rare
| Il tutto risplende di una bellezza rara
|
| A maid of sweet sixteen
| Una cameriera di dolci sedici anni
|
| A young lad beckoned from the door
| Un ragazzo fece un cenno dalla porta
|
| He bought some fruit and then bought more
| Comprò della frutta e poi ne comprò dell'altra
|
| His longing eyes were begging for
| I suoi occhi desiderosi stavano implorando
|
| The lovely maid to stay
| L'adorabile cameriera in cui restare
|
| He sought and found her at the mart
| La cercò e la trovò al mercato
|
| He wooed and won the maiden’s heart
| Ha corteggiato e conquistato il cuore della fanciulla
|
| And now ten children ride the cart
| E ora dieci bambini cavalcano il carro
|
| Across the village green
| Attraverso il villaggio verde
|
| Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-boo)
| Piangere mele, pesche e ciliegie (Scooby-dooby-scoo-boo)
|
| Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries
| Mele (mele), pesche (pesche) e ciliegie
|
| Now if there is a moral here
| Ora se c'è una morale qui
|
| Such fruitfulness should make it clear
| Tale fecondità dovrebbe chiarire
|
| So shut the window when you hear
| Quindi chiudi la finestra quando senti
