Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens

Jack Prelutsky

Last night I dreamed of chickens,
there were chickens everywhere,
they were standing on my stomach,
they were nesting in my hair,
they were pecking at my pillow,
they were hopping on my head,
they were ruffling up their feathers
as they raced about my bed.

They were on the chairs and tables,
they were on the chandeliers,
they were roosting in the corners,
they were clucking in my ears,
there were chickens, chickens, chickens
for as far as I could see...
when I woke today, I noticed
there were eggs on top of me.


Ontem à noite sonhei de frangos

Ontem à noite sonhei de frangos,
havia frangos em todo o lado,
eles estavam de pé sobre o meu estômago,
eles fizeram ninhos no meu cabelo,
e foram bicando a minha almofada,
até saltaram sobre minha cabeça,
ruflando forte com as suas penas
até correndo sobre a minha cama.

Eles estavam sobre as mesas e cadeiras,
se penduravam pelos lustres,
eles foram descendo nos cantos,
cacarejando sem cerimônia em meus ouvidos,
havia galinhas, frangos, pintinhos
até onde meus olhos podiam ver ...
e quando acordei hoje, eu reparei
que haviam os ovos em cima de mim.
