When I was a lad When I was a lad Quando eu era um rapaz An’ old Shep was a pup An’ old Shep was a pup Um Shep 'velho era um filhote de cachorro Over hills and meadows we’d stray Over hills and meadows we’d stray Sobre as colinas e prados nós desviar Just a boy and his dog Just a boy and his dog Apenas um menino e seu cão We were so full of fun We were so full of fun Estávamos tão cheia de diversão We grew up together that way We grew up together that way Nós crescemos juntos de que forma I remember the time I remember the time Lembro-me do tempo By the old swimmin’ hole By the old swimmin’ hole Por buraco swimmin velho ' When I would have drowned beyond doubt When I would have drowned beyond doubt Quando eu teria se afogado além de qualquer dúvida Ah but Shep was right there Ah but Shep was right there Ah, mas Shep estava lá To the rescue he came To the rescue he came Para o resgate chegou He jumped in and helped pull me out He jumped in and helped pull me out Ele saltou e ajudou a puxar-me para fora The years rolled along The years rolled along Os anos rolou And old Shep he grew old And old Shep he grew old E Old Shep ficou velho His eye-sight was fast growing dim His eye-sight was fast growing dim Seu olho visão foi rápido crescimento dim Then one day the doctor Then one day the doctor Então um dia o médico Looked at me and said Looked at me and said Olhou para mim e disse: “I can’t do no more for him Jim” “I can’t do no more for him Jim” "Eu não posso fazer mais nada por ele Jim" With a hand that was trembling With a hand that was trembling Com uma mão que tremia I picked up my gun I picked up my gun Eu peguei minha arma I aimed it at Shep’s faithful head I aimed it at Shep’s faithful head Eu mirei na cabeça de fiéis Shep But I just couldn’t do it But I just couldn’t do it Mas eu simplesmente não poderia fazê-lo I wanted to run I wanted to run Eu queria correr I wish that they’d shoot me instead I wish that they’d shoot me instead Eu gostaria que eles me atirar vez
