una rueda de cebolla sobre uno crudo

De acuerdo con lo de "uno crudo" (pues no se especifica). Aqui le va con lo del "onion" (cebolla).

Peer comment(s):
disagree dawn39 (X) : si la LETRA que ya puso BIEN Marian es "AND a raw one", no es "sobre", sino "Y"...No entiendo que tú traduzcas lo que pone sabiendo que hay un error, pero que encima la escoja "arrope" es incomprensible

chill out... en ningun lugar indicaba claramente la correccion de la cancion. la proxima vez leere todo lo que escribe la gente debajo de sus respuestas, pero para mi que eso es responsabilidad de quien escoge. lo siento que te moleste TANTO.

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

I love java sweet and hot,
Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

Oh slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug 'til I'm snug in a jug
A slice of onion and a raw one, Draw one!
Waiter, waiter, percolator!

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

Boston beans (soy beans)
I said the little itty-bitty green bean (cabbage n' greens)
You know that I'm not keen about a bean,
Unless it is a chile chile bean! (Talk it, boy!)

I love java sweet and hot,
Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot (yeah)
You shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot,
A cup, a cup, a cup, 'an dat zat bootle!

Blow me a slug from that wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug that's snug in a jug
Drop a nickel in my pot, Joe, takin' it slow
Waiter, waiter percolator

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive an' it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup - BOY!

agree Terry Burgess : ...and with Dawn. This happens to be one of my favorite songs and I've got the original version by the Inkspots, as well as the superb "Manhattan Transfer" version. It's definitely "AND" and not "ON".:-)

Aquí tienes de nuevo la letra ...
No es "ON", sino "AND"...
Me pregunto... ¿cómo no te fiaste de la letra que ya te pusieron...?
