Текст песни Brady Of Strabane (The Irish Rovers) с переводом

I welcome with me Johnny

And you’re with a decent man.

Twas little I knew what I had to do

for Brady of Strabane.

Well as I went in to a hiring faire in a place the called the Strand

Twas there I hired for seven long years with Brady of Strabane.

And before I signed to work for him he was very nice to me.

He promised me eggs and bacon and he then shook hands with me.

I welcome with me Johnny

And you’re with a decent man

Twas little I knew what I had to do

for Brady of Strabane

But I went up to me bed that night to let an awful bawl

For the fleas they made a fierce attack and I got no sleep at all.

When I come down for me breakfast, well what do you think I see?

But a dozen squabbling children saying, «Is there anything there for me?»

I welcome with me Johnny

And you’re with a decent man.

Twas little I knew what I had to do

for Brady of Strabane.

Each morning I arose from work at the dawning of the day.

I tend to his cows and horses and feed them oats and hay.

Then off to plough the pastures and plant the spuds and corn.

Each night before I went to sleep I wish I ne’er been born.

I welcome with me Johnny

And you’re with a decent man.

Twas little I knew what I had to do

for Brady of Strabane.

I worked on Brady’s farm 'till I looked an awful sight

Me bones were pushin' through me skin. I worked from mornin' 'till night

And when I died and passed away old Brady gave a grin.

Said, «He'll make good fertilizer, and there’s plenty more like him.»

I welcome with me Johnny

And you’re with a decent man.

Twas little I knew what I had to do

for Brady of Strabane.

I welcome with me Johnny

And you’re with a decent man.

Twas little I knew what I had to do

for Brady of Strabane.
