De nada sirvieron regaños, ni viajes, ni monjas, Scoldings were of no use, nor trips, nor nuns,
ni las promesas de amor que le hicieran los niños de bien; nor the promises of love that good children made her;
fue tan buena la nota que dio aquel humilde trompeta the note that she gave that humble trumpet was so good
que, entre acordes de cariño eterno, se fué ella con él. that, between chords of eternal affection, she left with him.
Se han mudado a un cuarto chiquito con muy pocos muebles, They have moved into a small room with very little furniture,

mientras que en las mansiones lujosas de la sociedad, while in the luxurious mansions of society,

«¿Ay señor!, y mi trompetista cuándo llegará?» "Oh sir! And when will my trumpeter arrive?"
