JOHNNY E' ANDATO MILITARE

Sono qui, seduta sulla Buttermilk Hill,
Sono qui seduta e piango tutte le mie lacrime,
E le mie lacrime potrebbero far girare un mulino,
Johnny è andato militare.

Shule, shule, shule aroon [agrah],
Ahimè, ahimè, lo amavo tanto
Ma solo il tempo guarirà le mie pene,
Johnny è andato soldato.

Venderò lo scolapiatti, venderò la conocchia
per comperare al mio amore una spada e una corazza,
Ma ora egli giace ucciso sul campo,
Johnny è andato soldato.

Shule, shule, shule aroon [agrah],
Ahimè, ahimè, lo amavo tanto,
ma solo il tempo guarirà le mie pene,
Johnny è andato soldato.

SHULE AROON

Shule shule, shule aroon
Shule the agaragar, shule the coon
Shule shule shule aroon
I don't think that anyone should tie me oh

Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill
Weep I will and weep my fill
Every tear would turn a mill
Johnny is gone for a soldier

Shule shule, shule aroon
Shule the agaragar, shule the coon
Shule shule shule aroon
I don't think that anyone should tie me oh

I'll send my flax sell my meal,
Sell my only spinnin' wheel
Buy my love a sword of steel
Johnny's gone for a soldier

Shule shule, shule aroon
Shule the agaragar, shule the coon
Shule shule shule aroon
I don't think that anyone should tie me oh

Loved him oh I loved him so
Broke my heart to see him go
Only time can heal my woe
Johnny's gone for a soldier

Shule shule, shule aroon
Shule the agaragar, shule the coon
Shule shule shule aroon
I don't think that anyone should tie me oh

I sold my flax and my meal
Sold my only spinnin' wheel
Now he's dead upon the field
Johnny's gone for a soldier

Shule shule, shule aroon
Shule the agaragar, shule the coon
Shule shule shule aroon
I don't think that anyone should tie me oh
