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 EU SONHEI COM GALINHAS

Ontem à noite eu sonhei com galinhas

havia galinhas por toda parte,

elas estavam de pé no meu estômago,

elas estavam se aninhando no meu cabelo,

elas estavam bicando meu travesseiro,

elas estavam pulando sobre minha cabeça,

elas estavam arrepiando suas penas

enquanto corriam por minha cama.

Elas estavam sobre as cadeiras e mesas,

elas estavam nos candelabros,

elas estavam empoleiradas nos cantos,

elas estavam batucando nos meus ouvidos,

havia galinhas, galinhas, galinhas

por toda parte até onde pude ver ...

quando acordei hoje, notei

que havia ovos em cima de mim.
