Текст песни So Long, It's Been Good To Know Yuh (Woody Guthrie) с переводом

I got the news that the war had begun

It was straight for the Army Hall that I run

And all of the people in my home town

Was a running up and a running down

Singing:

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won

And we’ll get back together again.

The crowd was packed by the railroad track

People was yelling and patting my back

And while the engineer rung his bell

I hugged all the mothers and kissed all the gals,

Singing:

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won

And we’ll get back together again

I got to the camp and I learnt how to fight

Fascists in daytime, mosquitoes at night

I got my orders to cross o’er the sea

So I waved «goodbye"to the girls I could see,

Singing:

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won

And we’ll get back together again

I got on a boat and I started to float

My old pack-sack and my big wool coat

With ten thousand men we rode the foam

And sung this song to the people back home:

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won

And we’ll get back together again

I landed somewhere on a fighting shore

With ten million soldiers and ten million more

And while we were chasing that Super Race

We sung this song in the chase.

It was:

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won

And we’ll get back together again

So it won’t be long till the fascists are gone

And all of their likes are finished and done

We’ll throw the clods of dirt in their face

And walk away from that lonesome place

Singing:

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won

And we’ll get back together again
