THE TRAMPKULKURI
If you all will shut your trap,
I will tell you 'bout a chap,
That was broke and up against it, too, for fair
He was not the kind that shirk,
He was looking hard for work,
But he heard the same old story everywhere:
Jos kaikki hiljaa on, kaveristani kerron,
joka työtön oli sekä nälkäinen.
Ei mikään pinnari, etsi työtä kovasti,
mutta kaikki hälle aina sanoi näin:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, keep on a-tramping,
Nothing doing here for you;
If I catch you 'round again,
You will wear the ball and chain,
Keep on tramping, that's the best thing you can do.
Kulje, kulje, aina kulje,
mitään ei meillä sulle oo.
Jos sut näen uudestaan,
sinut rautoihin mä paan.
Jatka kulkuas', jos henkes' kallis on.
He walked up and down the street,
'Till the shoes fell off his feet,
In a house he spied a lady cooking stew,
And he said, "How do you do,
May I chop some wood for you?"
What the lady told him made him feel so blue:
Hän siis kadulla nyt kulki, kunnes kengät meni puhki,
näki hienon rouvan ruokaa laittavan.
Sanoi tälle: »Huomenta. Saisko puita hakata?«
Rouva tylysti vain hälle lausui näin:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, keep on a-tramping,
Nothing doing here for you;
If I catch you 'round again,
You will wear the ball and chain,
Keep on tramping, that's the best thing you can do.
Kulje, kulje, aina kulje,
mitään ei meillä sulle oo.
Jos sut näen uudestaan,
sinut rautoihin mä paan.
Jatka kulkuas', jos henkes' kallis on.
'Cross the street a sign he read,
"Work for Jesus," so it said,
And he said, "Here is my chance, I'll surely try,"
And he kneeled upon the floor,
'Till his knees got rather sore,
But at eating-time he heard the preacher cry:
Tuli vastaan poliisi, johon hän nyt törmäsi.
Tämä kysyi: »Mitäs täällä hampparoit?«
Hänet tuomarin luo vei, mutta tämä sanoi: »Ei,
kulkureita me ei täällä tarvita.«
Tramp, tramp, tramp, keep on a-tramping,
Nothing doing here for you;
If I catch you 'round again,
You will wear the ball and chain,
Keep on tramping, that's the best thing you can do.
Kulje, kulje, aina kulje,
mitään ei meillä sulle oo.
Jos sut näen uudestaan,
sinut rautoihin mä paan.
Jatka kulkuas', jos henkes' kallis on.
Down the street he met a cop,
And the Copper made him stop,
And he asked him, "When did you blow into town?
Come with me up to the judge."
But the judge he said, "Oh, fudge,
Bums that have no money needn't come around."
Tuli loppu elämän viimein, kauan ootti hän.
Taivaaseen nyt uskoi pääsevänsä.
Taivaan portin saavutti, mutta Pyhä Pietari
portin sulki sekä hälle huusi näin:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, keep on a-tramping,
Nothing doing here for you;
If I catch you 'round again,
You will wear the ball and chain,
Keep on tramping, that's the best thing you can do.
Kulje, kulje, aina kulje,
mitään ei meillä sulle oo.
Jos sut näen uudestaan,
sinut rautoihin mä paan.
Jatka kulkuas', jos henkes' kallis on.
Finally came that happy day
When his life did pass away,
He was sure he'd go to heaven when he died,
When he reached the pearly gate,
Santa Peter, mean old skate,
Slammed the gate right in his face and loudly cried:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, keep on a-tramping,
Nothing doing here for you;
If I catch you 'round again,
You will wear the ball and chain,
Keep on tramping, that's the best thing you can do.
Helvettiin nyt meni tuo, sinne paholaisen luo,
koska muuta paikkaa ollut enää ei.
»Syntinen oon«, sanoi hän, toivoi sisään pääsevän.
Piru sanoi: »Antaa vetää, hamppari!«
In despair he went to Hell,
With the Devil for to dwell,
For the reason he'd no other place to go.
And he said, "I'm full of sin,
So for Christ's sake, let me in!"
But the Devil said, "Oh, beat it! You're a 'bo!"
Kulje, kulje, aina kulje,
mitään ei meillä sulle oo.
Jos sut näen uudestaan,
sinut rautoihin mä paan.
Jatka kulkuas', jos henkes' kallis on.
