The farmer and the Maiden,
Il contadino e la fanciulla,
They were wooing I declare,
Erano corteggiando dichiaro,
Out behind the garden gate
Dietro il cancello del giardino
They didn't know I was there.
Non sapevano che ero lì.
Now the farmer he was bashful
Ora l'agricoltore era schivo
And the maiden she was shy
E la fanciulla era timida
He asked her if he could
Lui le ha chiesto se poteva
And this was her reply.
E questa fu la sua risposta.
You can do it if you want to
È possibile farlo se si vuole
But you gotta do it right
Ma devi farlo bene
And don't you dare to do it
E non avete il coraggio di farlo
Like you did the other night
Come hai fatto l'altra sera
