Spanish Ladies/Spanish Lady (folks songs) (Translate to Spanish)
Someone can to translate these songs to Spanish, please? Thank you very much.
"Spanish Ladies"
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we've received orders for to sail for old England, (or '...under orders...')
But we hope in a short time to see you again. (or 'And we may never see you fair ladies again')
Chorus:
We will rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas. (or 'We'll range and we'll roam...')
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England;
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues. (variously 34, 35 and 45 leagues)
We hove our ship to with the wind from sou'west, boys
We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take; (or '...for to make soundings clear')
'Twas forty-five fathoms,[5] with a white sandy bottom,
So we squared our main yard and up channel did make. (or '...did steer')
chorus
The first land we sighted was call-ed the Dodman,
Next Rame Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight;
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover, (or 'Dungeness')
And then we bore up for the South Foreland light. (or 'until we brought to by the...')
chorus
Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor,
And all in the Downs that night for to lie;
Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper (that is, drop the anchor)
Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly! (that is, roll up the sails)
chorus
Now let ev'ry man drink off his full bumper,
And let ev'ry man drink off his full glass; (or 'bowl')
We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy,
And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass. (or 'soul').
"Spanish Lady"
As I went down to Dublin city,
At the hour of twelve at night,
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady,
Washing her feet by candle-light.
First she washed them, then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coal,
In all my life I ne'er did see
A maid so sweet about the soul.
CHORUS:
Whack fol the toora, loora laddi-o
Whack fol the toora loora lay
As I went back through Dublin city
At the hour of half-past eight
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady
Brushing her hair outside the gate.
First she brushed it, then she combed it,
On her hand was a silver comb.
In all my life I ne'er did see
A maid so fair since I did roam.
CHORUS
As I came back through Dublin city
As the sun began to set
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady
Catching a moth in a golden net.
When she saw me then she fled me
Lifting her petticoat over her knee
In all my life I ne'er did see
A maid so shy as the Spanish Lady.
CHORUS
I've wandered north and I've wandered south
By Stoneybatter and Patrick's Close
Up and around by the Gloucester Diamond
And back by Napper Tandy's house.
Old age has laid her hand on me
Cold as a fire of ashy coals
But where o where is the Spanish Lady,
Neat and sweet about the soul?

Hi Sabrenna, I did the best I could, but, as this song has many nautical terms, hope my translation is good enough, so friends, any correction in welcome.

"Spanish Lady"
"Dama española"
As I went down to Dublin city,
Mientras iba bajando a la ciudad de Dublín,
At the hour of twelve at night,
A las doce de la noche,
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady,
Debía ver a la dama española,
Washing her feet by candle-light.
lavando sus píes a la luz de una vela.
First she washed them, then she dried them
Primero los lavó, luego los secó
Over a fire of amber coal,
sobre un fuego de carbón ambar,
In all my life I ne'er did see
en toda mi vida nunca ví
A maid so sweet about the soul.
Una doncella de tan dulce alma.
CHORUS:
Whack fol the toora, loora laddi-o
Whack fol the toora loora lay
As I went back through Dublin city
Mientras regresaba por la ciudad de Dublín
At the hour of half-past eight
pasada media hora de las ocho
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady
Debía de ver a la dama española
Brushing her hair outside the gate.
cepillando su cabello fuera del portón.
First she brushed it, then she combed it,
primero lo cepilló, luego lo peinó,
On her hand was a silver comb.
en su mano tenía un peine de plata.
In all my life I ne'er did see
En toda mi vida nunca vi
A maid so fair since I did roam.
una doncella tan bella, desde comencé a vagar.
CHORUS
As I came back through Dublin city
mientras regresaba por la ciudad de Dublín
As the sun began to set
mientras el sol comenzaba a ponerse
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady
a quien debía ver era la dama de España
Catching a moth in a golden net.
atrapando una mariposa nocturna en una red de oro.
When she saw me then she fled me
Cuando ella me vio, huyó de mí
Lifting her petticoat over her knee
levantando su enagua sobre la rodilla
In all my life I ne'er did see
En toda mi vida nunca vi
A maid so shy as the Spanish Lady.
Una doncella tan tímida como la dama española.
CHORUS
I've wandered north and I've wandered south
Vagué por el norte y vagué por el sur
By Stoneybatter and Patrick's Close
Por Stoneybatter y Patrick´s Close
Up and around by the Gloucester Diamond
Arriba y alrededor por el Gloucester Diamond
And back by Napper Tandy's house.
y de regreso a la casa de Napper Tandy.
Old age has laid her hand on me
la vejez ha puesto su mano sobre de mí
Cold as a fire of ashy coals
fría como el fuego de ceniza de carbones
But where o where is the Spanish Lady,
pero donde, oh donde está la dama española,
Neat and sweet about the soul?
Elegante y dulce de alma?
