The Praties

As Batatas

The Praties

Oh, as batatas são pequenas, aqui, aqui!Oh, the praties they are small, over here, over here!
Oh, as batatas são pequenas e as colhemos no outono,Oh, the praties they are small and we dig them in the fall,
E as comemos com casca e tudo, aqui, aqui.And we eat them coats and all, over here, over here.

Oh, eu queria que fôssemos gansos, noite e dia, noite e dia!Oh, I wish that we were geese, night and morn, night and morn!
Oh, eu queria que fôssemos gansos e pudéssemos viver em pazOh, I wish that we were geese and could live our lives in peace
Até a hora da nossa liberdade, comendo milho, comendo milho.Till the hour of their release, eating corn, eating corn.

E imploramos noite e diaAnd we plead night and day

Até a hora da nossa liberdadeTill the hour of our release

Oh, estamos no chão, aqui, aqui!Oh, we're down into the dust, over here, over here!
Oh, estamos no chão, mas o Senhor em quem confiamos,Oh, we're down into the dust, but the Lord in whom we trust,
Nos recompensará migalha por migalha, aqui, aqui!Will repay us crumb for crust, over here, over here!

E imploramos noite e diaAnd we plead night and day

Até a hora da nossa liberdadeTill the hour of our release
