I went down

Otišla sam do

to St. James Infirmary

bolnice Sv. Jakova

To see my baby there

Da bih tamo vidjela svoju bebu

She was lying on a long wooden table

Ležala je ondje na dugom drvenom stolu

So cold, so still, so fair

Tako hladna, tako mirna, tako poštena

I went up to see the doctor

Otišla sam do doktora

"Jako je loše," rekao je

"She's very low," he said

I went back to see my baby

Otišla sam ponovno vidjeti svoju bebu

Good God

Dragi Bože

she's lying there dead

leži ondje mrtva

I went down to old Joe's bar room

Otišla sam do starog Joevog bara

Na uglu trga

On the corner of the square

They were serving drinks as per usual

Služili su uobičajena pića

Uobičajena rulja je bila tamo

And the usual crowd was there

To my left stood Old Joe McKennedy

S desne mi je stajao stari Joe McKennedy

His eyes were bloodshot red

Oči su mu bile krvave

He turned to the crowd around him

Okrenuo se prema rulji oko sebe

And these are the words he said

I ovo su riječi koje je rekao

"Let her go, let her go, God bless her

"Pustite je, pustite je, Bog je blagoslovio

Wherever she may be

Gdje god da jest

She can search this whole wide world all over

Može pretražiti čitav svijet

But she'll never find another man like me

Ali nikad neće naći čovjeka poput mene

She can search this whole wide world all over

Može pretražiti čitav svijet

And she'll never find

I nikad neće naći

čovjeka

another man

poput mene

like me

When I die, please God, bury me

Kada umrem, molim te Bože, pokopaj me

In my ten-dollar Stetson hat

U mom Stetson šeširu od deset dolara

Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

Stavi zlatnik od 20 dolara na moj lanac od sata

So my friends know I died standing pat

Tako da moji prijatelji znaju da sam umro dobrostojeći

Get six gamblers to carry my coffin

Neka šest kockara nosi moj lijes

And six choir girls to sing me a song

I šest zborašica neka pjeva pjesmu

Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon

Neka jazz bend bude na mojim pogrebnim kolima

To raise hell as I go along

Da prizivamo pakao dok idem

Sad tu je kraj moje priče

Now that's the end of my story

Let's have another round of booze

Popijmo još jednu rundu

I ako itko pita

And if anyone should ask you

Samo im reci da sam dobio

Just tell them I got

Blues
