Текст песни I Don't Want to Get Well (Van and Schenck) с переводом

I just received an answer to a letter that I wrote

From a pal who marched away

He was wounded in the trenches somewhere in France

And I worried about him night and day

«Are you getting well,» was what I wrote

This is what he answered in his note:

I don’t want to get well

I don’t want to get well

I’m in love with a beautiful nurse

Early ev’ry morning, night, and noon

The cutest little girlie comes and feeds me with a spoon

I don’t want to get well

I don’t want to get well

I’m glad they shot me on the fighting line, fine!

The doctor says that I’m in bad condition

But oh, oh, oh, I’ve got so much ambition;

I don’t want to get well

I don’t want to get well

For I’m having a wonderful time

I showed this letter to a friend who lives next door to me

And I heard him quickly say

«Goodbye, pal, I must be going. I’m off to war

And I hope that I’m wounded right away

If what’s in this letter here is true

I’ll get shot and then I’ll write to you.»

I don’t want to get well

I don’t want to get well

I’m in love with a beautiful nurse

Though the doctor’s treatments show results

I always get a bad relapse each time she feels my pulse;

I don’t want to get well

I don’t want to get well

I’m glad they shot me on the fighting line, fine!

She holds my hand and begs me not to leave her

Then all at once I get so full of fever

I don’t want to get well

I don’t want to get well

For I’m having a wonderful time
