Текст песни Long Gone To Saskatchewan (Corb Lund) с переводом

Well I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

Where the gettin’s good if you’re gettin' gone

I’m gonna put my boots and my hat back on

Cause I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

Well it’s a hell of a battle to try to raise cattle

In the prettiest place on the hoof

Oil refiners and lot sub-dividers

Got land prices right through the roof

They got value’s distorted and my brow’s all contorted

With the words that the banker just wrote

Me and the missus, we love the cow business

Took jobs just to keep us afloat

The old lady’s a waitress in three different places

And still can’t afford her own car

I’ve been drivin' grader, I’m a smooth operator

Wonderin' where all the gravel roads are

I like Alberta, but dang ain’t ya hearda

How much it can cost to buy oats?

I’ll always love her and think kindly of her

But I got no money left over for smokes

Well I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

Where the gettin’s good if you’re gettin' gone

I’m gonna put my boots and my hat back on

Adios, goodbye, farwell, so long

I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

She’s a little bit flatter but the cows are as fatter

So I think I’m gonna get me a tent

Cuz I can buy up an acre beside a nice lake here

For what it costs me at home to just rent

Sure, the winters are tough and roads get rough

And we might have to feed a bit more

And it’s further to ship’em, but damned if it isn’t

Good cow country this, that’s for sure

I can miss my foothills here and still drink my pilsner

And bitch and complain and surmise

About missin' the mountain, buy hey, look, who’s countin'

My place here is five times the size

Well I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

Where the gettin’s good if your gettin' gone

I’m gonna put my boots and my hat back on

Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long

I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

Now i gotta give honours to Stompin' Tom Connors

For «Roll on Saskatchewan» first

And Hus put his toque on in «Long Gone to the Yukon»

I figured he owed us a verse

But I’ve been comin' out bringin' my t-shirts and singin'

To my good eastern neighbours so long

And you put up with dumb jokes about your province and so I figured hey,

I owed you a song

Well I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

Where the gettin’s good if you’re gettin' gone

Gonna put my boots and my hat back on

Raise my cows like my grand daddy done

Where the birch trees grow and the sharp tail roam

Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long

I’m long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone to Saskatchewan

Long gone

Long gone
