The Ups And Downs

Mientras iba a Aylesbury en un día de mercadoAs I was going to Aylesbury all on a market day
Una bonita chica de Aylesbury encontré en el caminoA pretty little Aylesbury girl I met upon the way
Su negocio era vender mantequilla, queso y sueroHer business was to market with butter, cheese and whey
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayAnd we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayAnd we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day

Mientras seguimos juntos, mis chicos lado a ladoAs we jogged on together my boys together side by side
Por casualidad, la liga de esta bella doncella se desatóBy chance this fair maid's garter it came untied
Por miedo a que la perdiera, le dijeFor fear that she might lose it I unto her did say
Tu liga se desató, mi amor fol-der-o diddle-o-dayYour garter's come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Tu liga se desató, mi amor fol-der-o diddle-o-dayYour garter's come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-day

Mientras cabalgábamos juntos, mis chicos, hacia las afueras de la ciudadAs we rode on together my boys to the outskirts of the town
Finalmente, esta joven doncella se detuvo y miró a su alrededorAt length this fair young damsel she stopped and looked around
Desde que has sido tan valiente, por favor átala por míO since you've been so venturesome pray tie it up for me
Lo haré si vas al huerto de manzanas fol-der-o diddle-o-dayO I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Lo haré si vas al huerto de manzanas fol-der-o diddle-o-dayO I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o-day

Y cuando llegamos al huerto de manzanas, la hierba crecía altaAnd when we got to the apple grove the grass was growing high
Puse a esta chica boca arriba para atar su ligaI laid this girl upon her back her garter for to tie
Mientras ataba su liga, nunca vi tales cosasWhile tying of her garter such sights I never did see
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayAnd we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayAnd we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day

Desde que has tenido lo que querías de mí, dime tu nombreO since you've had your will of me come tell to me your name
Así como tu ocupación y de dónde vienesLikewise your occupation and where and whence you came
Mi nombre es Mickey, el boyero de DublínMa name is Mickey the drover boy from Dublin town come I
Y vivo en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayAnd I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y vivo en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayAnd I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day

Y cuando llegó a Aylesbury, su mantequilla no se vendióAnd when she got to Aylesbury her butter was not sold
Y la pérdida de su virginidad le heló la sangreAnd the losing of her maidenhead it made her blood run cold
Se fue, se fue, se fue, dijo, no es el chico para míHe's gone, he's gone, he's gone, she said, he's not the lad for me
Porque vive en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayFor he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Porque vive en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-dayFor he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
