Текст песни Big Strong Man (Wolfe Tones) с переводом

Have you heard about the big strong man?

He lived in a caravan

Have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnson fight?

Oh, Lord what a hell of a fight

You can take all of the heavyweights you’ve got

We’ve got a lad that can beat the whole lot

He used to ring bells in the belfry

Now he’s gonna fight Jack Demspey

That was my brother Sylvest' (What's he got?)

A row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!)

He killed fifty bad men in the west; he knows no rest

Think of a man, hells' fire, don’t push, just shove

Plenty of room for you and me

He’s got an arm like a leg (a ladies' leg!)

And a punch that would sink a battleship (big ship!)

It takes all of the Army and the Navy to put the wind up Sylvest'

Now, he thought he’d take a trip to Italy

He thought that he’d go by sea

He dove off the harbor in New York

And swam like a great big shark

He saw the Lusitania in distress

He put the Lusitania on his chest

He drank all of the water in the sea

And he walked all the way to Italy

That was my brother Sylvest' (What's he got?)

A row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!)

He killed fifty bad men in the west; he knows no rest

Think of a man, hells' fire, don’t push, just shove

Plenty of room for you and me

He’s got an arm like a leg (a ladies' leg!)

And a punch that would sink a battleship (big ship!)

It takes all of the Army and the Navy to put the wind up Sylvest'

He thought he take a trip to old Japan

They turned out a big brass band

You can take all of the instruments you’ve got

We got a lad that can play the whole lot

And the old church bells will ring (Hells bells!)

The old church choir will sing (Hells fire!)

They all turned out to say farewell to my big brother Sylvest'
