Lyrics & translation
Verse
The Duke came riding on a horse.
El Duque vino montando un corcel.
He wanted every berry for his pie.
Quería cada baya para su pastel.
We stood together by the thorny wall.
Nos paramos juntos ante el muro espinoso.
To stop the greedy man so tall.
Para detener al hombre codicioso y tan alto.
Chorus
Purple juice on a silly Duke.
Jugo morado sobre un Duque tonto.
Stained his cape and made him spook.
Manchó su capa y lo asustó pronto.
Our wild hedge is safe and sound.
Nuestro seto silvestre está a salvo.
The best berries are always found.
Las mejores bayas siempre se encuentran.
Verse
We dug a hole and filled it deep.
Cavamos un hoyo y lo llenamos bien.
With squashed fruit where the shadows creep.
Con fruta aplastada donde avanzan las sombras.
His shiny boots hit the sticky trap.
Sus botas brillantes cayeron en la trampa.
He fell down with a heavy thud.
Se cayó con un fuerte golpe.
Chorus
Purple juice on a silly Duke.
Jugo morado sobre un Duque tonto.
Stained his cape and made him spook.
Manchó su capa y lo asustó pronto.
Our wild hedge is safe and sound.
Nuestro seto silvestre está a salvo.
The best berries are always found.
Las mejores bayas siempre se encuentran.
Bridge
He ran away with a purple face.
Huyó lejos con la cara morada.
Leaving behind his velvet and lace.
Dejando atrás su terciopelo y encaje.
The village kids won the berry war.
Los niños del pueblo ganaron la guerra.
He won't come back here anymore.
Él no volverá nunca más aquí.
Chorus
Purple juice on a silly Duke.
Jugo morado sobre un Duque tonto.
Stained his cape and made him spook.
Manchó su capa y lo asustó pronto.
Our wild hedge is safe and sound.
Nuestro seto silvestre está a salvo.
The best berries are always found.
Las mejores bayas siempre se encuentran.
