Textul original - Engleză - The Owl and the Pussy-cat (Poem by Edward Lear)

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat
They took some honey and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar
“O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love
What a beautiful Pussy you are
You are
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!”

Pussy said to the Owl “You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?”
They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose
His nose
His nose
With a ring at the end of his nose.

“Dear Pig are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?” Said the Piggy “I will.”
So they took it away and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince and slices of quince
Which they ate with a runcible spoon
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon
The moon
The moon
They danced by the light of the moon.
