Corbies

As I was walking all alaneMientras caminaba solo

I heard twa corbies makin' maneEscuché dos cuervos lamentándose

And one ontae the other did sayY uno al otro le dijo

Where shall we gang and dine the day¿Dónde iremos a cenar hoy?

Where shall we gang and dine the day¿Dónde iremos a cenar hoy?

In behind yon oul fail dykeDetrás de aquella vieja tapia

I wot there lies a new slain knightSé que yace un caballero recién asesinado

And naebody kens that he lies thereY nadie sabe que está ahí

But his hawk and his hound and his lady fairExcepto su halcón, su perro y su dama

His hawk and his hound and his lady fairSu halcón, su perro y su dama

His hawk is tae the hunting ganeSu halcón ha ido a cazar

His hound to fetch the wild fowl haneSu perro a buscar la presa salvaje

His lady has taken another mateSu dama ha tomado otro amante

So we can make our dinner sweetAsí que podemos hacer nuestra cena dulce

We can make our dinner sweetPodemos hacer nuestra cena dulce

You can sit on his white breast bonePuedes sentarte en su blanco esternón

And I'll pick out his bonny blue e'enY yo sacaré sus hermosos ojos azules

And with a lock of his yellow hairY con un mechón de su cabello rubio

We'll theek our nest when it grows bareCubriremos nuestro nido cuando esté desnudo

We'll theek our nest when it grows bareCubriremos nuestro nido cuando esté desnudo

And many's a one for him makes maneY muchos lloran por él

Naebody kens where he has ganeNadie sabe a dónde ha ido

Through his white bones when they grow bareA través de sus blancos huesos cuando estén desnudos

The wind shall blow forever mareEl viento soplará por siempre más

The wind shall blow forever mareEl viento soplará por siempre más
