BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME? | VIPPAA MULLE VIITONEN |
They used to tell me I was building a dream. And so I followed the mob When there was earth to plow Or guns to bear I was always there Right on the job. | Tietä ennen sotaa Petsamoon, vuoden tein, muistan sen. Nyt jo maantien tekoon vanha oon. Vippaa mulle viitonen. |
They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead. Why should I be standing in line Just waiting for bread? | Korpeen maata palan raivasin auraten, kylväen. Pellot jäivät sodan jalkoihin. Vippaa mulle viitonen. |
Once I built a railroad I made it run Made it race against time. Once I built a railroad Now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? | Sinne jonnekin tieni kun vei, ystävät kaikki palanneet ei. Siellä haaveistain mä luopua sain, on arpia vain muistonain. Silloin kyllä minuun myös luotettiin, tarvinnut muita en. Nyt on usko mennyt ihmisiin, vippaa mulle viitonen. |
Once I built a tower up to the sun Brick and rivet and lime. Once I built a tower, Now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? | Sinne jonnekin tieni kun vei, ystävät kaikki palanneet ei. Siellä haaveistain mä luopua sain, on arpia vain muistonain. Silloin kyllä minuun myös luotettiin, tarvinnut muita en. Nyt on usko mennyt ihmisiin, vippaa mulle viitonen. |
Once in khaki suits Gee we looked swell Full of that yankee doodle dee dum. Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell And I was the kid with the drum! Say don't you remember? They called me Al. It was Al all the time. Why don't you remember? I'm your pal. Say buddy, can you spare a dime? | Nyt on usko mennyt ihmisiin, vippaa mulle viitonen. |
Once in khaki suits, Ah, gee we looked swell Full of that yankee doodle dee dum! Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell And I was the kid with the drum! Oh, say don't you remember? They called me Al. It was Al all the time. Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal. Buddy, can you spare a dime? | Vippaa mulle viitonen. |
