Canción infantil

(Español)
I had a little boy,
And called him Blue Bell;
Gave him a little work,--
He did it very well.
I bade him go upstairs
To bring me a gold pin;
In coal scuttle fell he,
Up to his little chin.
He went to the garden
To pick a little sage;
He tumbled on his nose,
And fell into a rage.
He went to the cellar
To draw a little beer;
And quickly did return
To say there was none there.
Campánula le puse
Al mocito que tuve;
Le di un trabajito,
Muy bien lo hizo.
Le pedí que fuera arriba,
A por un alfiler de oro,
Cayó en el cubo de carbón
Hasta el mentón.
Fue al jardín
Coger un poco de salvia,
Se cayó en la nariz
Y tuvo mucha rabia.
A la bodega bajó
A sacar cerveza,
Y pronto regresó
Diciendo ya no queda.
