Hughes Mearns - The Little Man Who Wasn't There

* Hughes Mearns

The Little Man Who Wasn't There

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

El hombrecito que no estaba ahí

Ayer, en la escalera
Encontré a un hombre que ahí no estaba.
Hoy tampoco ahí estaba,
Quisiera, quisiera que se marchara.

El hombre ahí me esperaba,
Cuando vine a casa anoche a las tres,
Pero cuando miré en la entrada,
Ahí en absoluto no lo pude ver
Váyase, váyase, nunca vuelva
Váyase, váyase, y por favor sin dar portazo cierre la puerta…

Ayer, en la escalera
Encontré a un hombre que ahí no estaba.
Hoy tampoco ahí estaba,
Quisiera, quisiera que se marchara....
