Nellie McKay: "The Dog Song"

Translator: Martin Francis Gilbert Máik Reviewer: Matej Sykora

I’d like to dedicate this next song to Carmelo,

Chcela by som venovať túto pieseň Carmelovi,

who was put to sleep a couple of days ago, because he got too old.

ktorý bol usmrtený pred niekoľkými dňami, pretože bol príliš starý.

But apparently he was a very nice dog

Ale očividne to bol veľmi milý pes

and he always let the cat sleep in the dog bed.

a vždy nechal spať mačku v psej posteli.

♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Zvuk ťažko dýchajúceho psa) heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ I'm just a'walking my dog, singing my song, strolling along. ♫

♫ Venčím svojho psíka spievajúc si moju pieseň, prechádzajúc sa ♫

♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, catching some sun. We can't go wrong. ♫

♫ Áno, som to len ja a môj pes chytajúc slnko, nemôžeme sa mýliť. ♫

♫ My life was lonely and blue. ♫

♫ Môj život bol osamelý a depresívny. ♫

♫ Yeah, I was sad as a sailor, ♫

♫ Áno, bola som smutným námorníkom, ♫

♫ I was an angry 'un too. ♫

♫ bola som tiež nahnevaná. ♫

♫ Then there was you -- appeared when I was entangled with youth and fear, ♫

♫ Potom si prišiel ty - objavil si sa, keď som bola zamotaná v mladosti a strachu ♫

♫ and nerves jingle jangled, vermouth and beer were getting me mangled up. ♫

♫ a nervy mi štrngali, vermut a pivo ma ničili. ♫

♫ But then I looked in your eyes ♫

♫ Ale potom som sa pozrela do tvojich očí ♫

♫ and I was no more a failure. ♫

♫ a nebola som už viac sklamaním. ♫

♫ You looked so wacky and wise. ♫

♫ Ty si vyzeral taký pojašený a múdry. ♫

♫ And I said, "Lord, I'm happy, 'cause I'm just a'walking my dog, ♫

♫ A ja som povedala, "Pane, som šťastná, pretože iba venčím svojho psa, ♫

♫ catching some sun. We can't go wrong." ♫

♫ chytajúc slnko nemôžeme sa pomýliť." ♫

♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, singing our song, strolling along. ♫

♫ Áno, som to len ja a môj pes spievajúc si našu pieseň, prechádzajúc sa. ♫

♫ 'Cause I don't care about your hating and your doubt, ♫

♫ Pretože mne nezáleží na tvojej nenávisti a tvojich pochybnostiach ♫

♫ and I don't care what the politicians spout. ♫

♫ a nestarám sa ani o to, čo politici chŕlia. ♫

♫ If you need a companion, why, just go out to the pound, ♫

♫ Ak chceš spoločnosť, len choď von do útulku ♫

♫ and find yourself a hound, and make that doggie proud, ♫

♫ a nájdeš si psa a spravíš toho psíka hrdým, ♫

♫ 'cause that's what it's all about. ♫

♫ pretože o tomto to celé je. ♫

♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Zvuk ťažko dýchajúceho psa) heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ My life was tragic and sad. ♫

♫ Môj život bol tragický a smutný, ♫

♫ I was the archetypal loser. ♫

♫ bola som typický stroskotanec, ♫

♫ I was a pageant gone bad. ♫

♫ bola som nepodarenou maškarádou. ♫

♫ And then there was you -- on time, and wagging your tail ♫

♫ A potom si tu bol ty - načas a vrtel si chvostom ♫

♫ in the cutest mime that you was in jail. ♫

♫ v najzlatšej pantomíme, že si bol vo väzení. ♫

♫ I said, "Woof, be mine!" and you gave a wail and then ♫

♫ Ja som povedala: "Haf, buď mojím!" a zabedákala som ♫

♫ I was no longer alone. ♫

♫ a nebola som viac sama. ♫

♫ And I was no more a boozer. ♫

♫ A už som viac nebola opilec. ♫

♫ We'll make the happiest home. ♫

♫ My spravíme najšťastnejší domov. ♫

♫ And I said, "Lord, I'm happy, 'cause I’m just a'walking my dog, ♫

♫ A ja som povedala, "Pane, som šťastná, pretože iba venčím svojho psa, ♫

♫ singing my song, strolling along." ♫

♫ spievajúc si moju pieseň, prechádzajúc sa." ♫

♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, catching some sun. We can't go wrong, ♫

♫ Áno, som to len ja a môj pes chytajúc slnko. Nemôžeme sa pomýliť, ♫

♫ 'cause I don't care about your hating and your doubt, ♫

♫ pretože mne nezáleží na tvojej nenávisti a tvojich pochybnostiach ♫

♫ and I don’t care what the politicians spout. ♫

♫ a nestarám sa ani o to, čo politici chŕlia. ♫

♫ If you need a companion, why, just go out to the pound, ♫

♫ Ak chceš spoločnosť, len choď do útulku ♫

♫ and find yourself a hound, and make that doggie proud, ♫

♫ a nájdeš si psa a spravíš toho psíka hrdým, ♫

♫ 'cause that's what it's all about, ♫

♫ pretože o tomto to celé je, ♫

♫ that's what it's all about, ♫

♫ o tomto to celé je, ♫

♫ that's what it's all abou-BOW-WOW-WOW-WOW ♫

♫ to je to, o čom to celé je - HAU-VAU-VAU-VAU ♫

♫ that's what it's all about. ♫

♫ to je to, o čom to celé je. ♫

♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Zvuk ťažko dýchajúceho psa) heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

Good dog!

Dobrý pes!

Thank you.

Ďakujem.
