Sweatheart May

Te cantaré una canción, y no será muy largaI will sing you a song, and it won't be very long
Sobre una doncella dulce, y nunca haría nada malo'Bout a maiden sweet, and she never would do wrong
Todos decían que era bonita. No duró mucho en la ciudadEveryone said she was pretty. She was not long in the city
Todo sola, oh, qué lástima, pobre jovencitaAll alone, oh, what a pity, poor little maid

Nunca vio las calles de El CairoShe never saw the streets of Cairo
En la Feria nunca se había desviadoOn the Midway she had never strayed
Nunca vio el kutchy-kutchyShe never saw the kutchy-kutchy
Pobre campesinaPoor little country maid

Fue contratada como modelo para posarShe was engaged as a picture for to pose
Para aparecer cada noche en ropa abreviadaTo appear each night in abbreviated clothes
Todos los tipos estaban alborotados, corrieron para atraparlaAll the dudes were in a flurry, for to catch her they did hurry
Quien la atrapó ahora lo lamenta, pobre jovencitaOne who caught her now is sorry, poor little maid

Era mucho más hermosa que TrilbyShe was much fairer far than Trilby
Muchos más hombres lamentaránLots of more men sorry will be
Si no intentan mantenerse alejados deIf they don't try to keep away from
Esta pobre campesinaThis poor little country maid

Nunca vio las calles de El CairoShe never saw the streets of Cairo
En la Feria nunca se había desviadoOn the Midway she had never strayed
Nunca vio el kutchy-kutchyShe never saw the kutchy-kutchy
Pobre campesinaPoor little country maid
