There was a barber and his wife
And she was beautiful
A foolish barber and his wife
She was his reason and his life
And she was beautiful
And she was virtuous
And he was
Naive
There was another man who saw
That she was beatuiful
A pious vulture of the law
Who, with a gesture of his claw
Removed the barber from his plate
Then there was nothing but to wait
And she would fall
So soft, so young, so lost
And, oh, so beautiful
And the lady sir
Did she succumb?
Oh, that was many years ago
I doubt if anyone would know
Havia um barbeiro e sua esposa
E ela era linda
Um barbeiro tolo e sua esposa
Ela era sua razão e sua vida
E ela era linda
E ela era virtuosa e ele era ingênuo
O outro era um homem que
Viu que ela era linda
Um abutre cumpridor da lei
Que com um gesto de sua garra
Removeu o barbeiro do seu lugar
Então, não restava mais nada a não ser esperar
E ela ia cair, tão macia, tão jovem, tão perdida
E oh, tão linda
E a moça, senhor
Ela sucumbiu?
Oh isso foi a muitos anos atrás
Duvido que alguém saiba
