"Thank You, Kind Sir!" Said She

"¡Gracias, Caballero Amable! Dijo Ella"

"Thank You, Kind Sir!" Said She

[1ra estrofa:][1st verse:]
Bulliciosa avenida, gente por doquierCrowded thoroughfare, people here and there
Corriendo por la AvenidaDashing up the Avenue
Joven y tímida doncella, pasando rápidamenteMaiden young and shy, quickly passing by
Algo toca su zapatoSomething comes in contact with her shoe
Alguien ha caído, resbaló en el sueloSomeone's fallen down, slipped upon the ground
Sucede en una calle resbaladizaIt happens on a slipp'ry street
Amable joven que presenció el accidenteKind young gent who saw the accident
Ayuda a la encantadora dama a levantarseHelps the charming lady to her feet

[Estribillo:][Refrain:]
"¡Gracias, caballero amable!" dijo ella"Thank you, kind sir," said she
"Bienvenida, dulce señorita," dijo él"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he
"¿Puedo escoltarla a casa?""May I not escort you home?"
"No, iré sola"You may not, I'll go alone
Tengo esposo," dijo ellaI've a husband," said she
"Y yo esposa, señorita," dijo él"And I've a wife, Miss," said he
"No necesitas llamarme," dijo ella"You needn't call me up," said she
"Mi teléfono es uno, dos, tres""My phone is one, two, three"
"Gracias," dijo él"Thank you," said he

[2da estrofa:][2nd verse:]
Escena, un café cercano, pareja charlando alegrementeScene, a near cafe, couple chatting gay
La misma joven doncella tímida y dulceSame young maiden shy and sweet
En el extremo masculino se sienta su amigoOn the he-male end sits her fellow friend
El mismo joven que la ayudó a levantarseSame young man who helped her to her feet
La doncella habla suavemente, "He estado triste por semanasMaiden softly speaks, "I've been sad for weeks
Mi querido esposo fracasó el año pasadoMy darling husband failed last year
Estoy endeudada hasta aquí, ya verás"I'm in debt right up to here, you bet"
El amigo susurra algo en su oídoFellow whispers something in her ear

[2do estribillo:][2nd refrain:]
"¡Gracias, caballero amable!" dijo ella"Thank you, kind sir," said she
"Bienvenida, dulce señorita," dijo él"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he
"¿Puedo escoltarla a casa?"May I not escort you home?
Odiaría ir sola"I would hate to go alone"
"Vivo aquí, señor," dijo ella"I live here, sir," said she
"Y yo también, señorita," dijo él"And so do I, Miss," said he
"No te atrevas a llamarme," dijo ella"Don't dare to call me," said she
"Siempre estoy en casa a las tres""I'm always in at three"
"Gracias," dijo él"Thank you," said he
