I Saw a Ship A-sailing

Eu vi um navio de A-vela

I Saw a Ship A-sailing

Eu vi um navio de uma vela,
I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-vela no mar;
A-sailing on the sea;
E oh, era tudo laden
And oh, it was all laden
Com as coisas bonitas para ti!
With pretty things for thee!

Havia confeitos na cabine,
There were comfits in the cabin,
E maçãs no porão;
And apples in the hold;
As velas eram feitas de seda,
The sails were made of silk,
E os mastros foram feitos de ouro.
And the masts were made of gold.

Os vinte e quatro marinheiros,
The four and twenty sailors,
Isso ficou entre as plataformas,
That stood between the decks,
Foram vinte e quatro ratos brancos,
Were four and twenty white mice,
Com cadeias sobre seus pescoços.
With chains about their necks.

O capitão era um pato,
The captain was a duck,
Com um pacote de costas;
With a packet on his back;
E quando o navio começou a se mover,
And when the ship began to move,
O capitão disse, "quack, quack!"
The captain said, "quack, quack!"
