If I Thought You Wouldn't Tell TRADUCCIÓN - Irving Berlin (Impressão)

If I Thought You Wouldn't Tell

[1st verse:]

A maiden pretty from Jersey City

Paid a visit to some cousins out of town

She answered, "Mercy" when cousin Percy

Said, "I'd dearly love to show you all around"

Like bees a-buzzin'

She and her cousin

Were together ev'ry minute of the day

One night he kissed her, she shouted, "Mister"

But he answered in a cute and cunning way

[Refrain:]

If I thought you wouldn't tell your mother

I would try and take one more

Promise not to tell your father or your brother

And I'll make it three or four

If I thought that you could keep a secret

I would keep you busy, Nell

I'd forget that I'm your cousin

And I'd take a half a dozen

If I only thought you wouldn't tell

[2nd verse:]

One evening early, he took the girlie

To a restaurant where drinks are often tried

He ordered porter, she ordered water

Then she said, "I'll take a cocktail on the side"

She drank a dozen

Just then her cousin

Whispered, "Dearie, don't you think we should go home?"

She answered, "Later, please call the waiter"

Then she murmured in a rather husky tone

[2nd refrain:]

If I thought you wouldn't tell your mother

I would try and take one more

Promise not to tell your father or your brother

And I'll make it three or four

If I thought that you could keep a secret

I would take all they would sell

I'd forget that I'm your cousin

And I'd take a half a dozen

If I only thought you wouldn't tell

Si Pensara Que No Dirías

[1ra estrofa:]

Una joven bonita de Jersey City

Visitó a unos primos fuera de la ciudad

Respondió 'Misericordia' cuando el primo Percy

Dijo, 'Me encantaría mostrarte todo'

Como abejas zumbando

Ella y su primo

Estaban juntos cada minuto del día

Una noche él la besó, ella gritó, '¡Señor!'

Pero él respondió de manera linda y astuta

[Estribillo:]

Si pensara que no le dirías a tu madre

Intentaría tomar uno más

Prometo no decirle a tu padre o a tu hermano

Y haré que sean tres o cuatro

Si pensara que podrías guardar un secreto

Te mantendría ocupada, Nell

Olvidaría que soy tu primo

Y tomaría media docena

Si solo pensara que no dirías

[2da estrofa:]

Una tarde temprano, él llevó a la chica

A un restaurante donde a menudo se prueban bebidas

Él pidió cerveza oscura, ella pidió agua

Entonces ella dijo, 'Tomaré un cóctel al lado'

Ella bebió una docena

Justo entonces su primo

Susurró, 'Querida, ¿no crees que deberíamos ir a casa?'

Ella respondió, 'Después, por favor llama al camarero'

Luego murmuró en un tono bastante ronco

[2do estribillo:]
