Peter Pan — Page 2

English → Spanish Chapter VI. Level 4/10

"Don't go," they called in pity.

«No te vayas», le llamaron con lástima.

"I must," he answered, shaking; "I am so afraid of Peter."

«Debo irme», respondió él, temblando; «Le tengo tanto miedo a Peter».

It was at this tragic moment that they heard a sound which made the heart of every one of them rise to his mouth.

Fue en ese trágico momento cuando escucharon un sonido que hizo que el corazón de cada uno de ellos se les subiera a la boca.

They heard Peter crow.

Oyeron el canto de Peter.

"Peter!" they cried, for it was always thus that he signalled his return.

«¡Peter!», exclamaron, pues era siempre así como él anunciaba su regreso.

"Hide her," they whispered, and gathered hastily around Wendy.

«Escóndela», susurraron, y se reunieron apresuradamente alrededor de Wendy.

But Tootles stood aloof.

Pero Rizos se mantuvo apartado.

Again came that ringing crow, and Peter dropped in front of them.

De nuevo se oyó ese sonoro canto, y Peter aterrizó ante ellos.

"Greetings, boys," he cried, and mechanically they saluted, and then again was silence.

«Saludos, chicos», exclamó, y ellos le saludaron mecánicamente, y después volvió el silencio.

He frowned.

Él frunció el ceño.

"I am back," he said hotly, "why do you not cheer?"

«He vuelto», dijo con ardor, «¿por qué no vitoreáis?»

They opened their mouths, but the cheers would not come.

Abrieron la boca, pero los vítores no salieron.

He overlooked it in his haste to tell the glorious tidings.

Él lo pasó por alto en su prisa por contar la gloriosa nueva.

"Great news, boys," he cried, "I have brought at last a mother for you all."

«Grandes noticias, chicos», exclamó, «por fin os he traído una madre para todos vosotros».

Still no sound, except a little thud from Tootles as he dropped on his knees.

Aún ningún sonido, salvo un pequeño golpe sordo de Rizos al caer de rodillas.

"Have you not seen her?" asked Peter, becoming troubled.

«¿No la habéis visto?», preguntó Peter, inquietándose.

"She flew this way."

«Ella voló por aquí».

"Ah me!" one voice said, and another said, "Oh, mournful day."

«¡Ay de mí!», dijo una voz, y otra dijo: «Oh, día de luto».

Tootles rose.

Rizos se levantó.

"Peter," he said quietly, "I will show her to you," and when the others would still have hidden her he said, "Back, twins, let Peter see."

«Peter», dijo tranquilamente, «yo te la mostraré», y cuando los demás todavía habrían querido esconderla, dijo: «Atrás, gemelos, dejad que Peter la vea».

So they all stood back, and let him see, and after he had looked for a little time he did not know what to do next.

Así que todos se echaron hacia atrás y le dejaron ver, y después de haber mirado un momento, no supo qué hacer a continuación.
