Pride Of The Nancy Lee(originale) |
I’ll tell you the tale of the Nancy Lee, |
The ship that got shipwrecked at sea |
The bravest man was Captain Brown, |
'Cause he played his ukulele as the ship went down. |
All the crew was in despair, |
Some rushed here and some rushed there, |
But the Captain sat in the Captain’s chair, |
And he played his ukulele as the ship went down. |
The Captain said to Seaman Jones: |
«You'd best put on your working clothes |
While you stand and spray your hose |
I can play me ukulele as the ship goes down.» |
The owners signalled to the crew, saying: |
«Do the best that you can do. |
We’re only insured for half-a-crown, |
We’ll be out of pocket if the ship goes down.» |
The Captain’s wife was on board ship, |
And he was very glad of it |
But she could swim and she might not drown |
So we tied her to the anchor as the ship went down. |
The crow’s nest fell and killed the crow, |
The starboard watch was two hours slow |
But the Captain sang fal-oh-de-oh-doh |
And he played his ukulele as the ship went down. |
(traduzione) |
Ti racconterò la storia di Nancy Lee, |
La nave che ha fatto naufragio in mare |
L'uomo più coraggioso era il capitano Brown, |
Perché suonava l'ukulele mentre la nave affondava. |
Tutto l'equipaggio era disperato, |
Alcuni si precipitarono qui e altri si precipitarono là, |
Ma il Capitano sedeva sulla sedia del Capitano, |
E suonò il suo ukulele mentre la nave affondava. |
Il Capitano disse a Seaman Jones: |
«Farai meglio a indossare i tuoi abiti da lavoro |
Mentre ti alzi e spruzza il tubo |
Posso suonare l'ukulele mentre la nave affonda.» |
I proprietari hanno segnalato all'equipaggio, dicendo: |
«Fai il meglio che puoi fare. |
Siamo assicurati solo per mezza corona, |
Saremo senza tasca se la nave affonda.» |
La moglie del capitano era a bordo della nave, |
E ne fu molto contento |
Ma sapeva nuotare e potrebbe non affogare |
Quindi l'abbiamo legata all'ancora mentre la nave affondava. |
Il nido del corvo cadde e uccise il corvo, |
La guardia di dritta era lenta di due ore |
Ma il Capitano ha cantato fal-oh-de-oh-doh |
E suonò il suo ukulele mentre la nave affondava. |
