When on the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo Hurroo
When on the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo Hurroo
When on the road to sweet Athy
A stick in the hand, A drop in the eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are the eyes that looked so mild,
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild,
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Why did ya run from me and the child
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus:]
We had guns and drums and drums and guns,
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns,
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ya
Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are the legs with which you run,
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the legs with which you run,
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the legs with which you run,
When first you went to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus]

You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg,
Hurroo Hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg,
Hurroo Hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
You're a spinless, boneless, chickenless egg
You'll Have to be put with the bowl to beg
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus]

I'm happy for to see ya home,
Hurroo Hurroo
I'm happy for to see ya home,
Hurroo Hurroo
I'm happy for to see ya home
From the isle of Ceylon
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus]

Перевод:

Когда я шёл в родной Эйтай,
Когда я шёл в родной Эйтай,
Когда я шёл в родной Эйтай,
С костылём в руке и со слезами в глазах,
Услышал крик печальной женщины:
«Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

«Где те глаза, что добротой светились,
Где те глаза, что добротой светились,
Где те глаза, что добротой светились,
Когда ты в первый раз очаровал моё несчастное сердце?
Почему ты сбежал на войну от меня и ребёнка?
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

"У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
«Враг никогда не прикончит тебя,
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

«Где ноги, которые понесли тебя,
Где ноги, которые понесли тебя,
Где ноги, которые понесли тебя,
Когда ты впервые ушёл, ружьё унеся
Нет сомнений в том, что ты своё отплясал
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

"У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
«Враг никогда не прикончит тебя,
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

«Где ноги, которые понесли тебя,
Где ноги, которые понесли тебя,
Где ноги, которые понесли тебя,
Когда ты впервые ушёл, ружьё унеся
Нет сомнений в том, что ты своё отплясал
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

"У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
У нас есть ружья и барабаны, барабаны и ружья.
«Враг никогда не прикончит тебя,
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

«У тебя нет руки и нет ноги,
У тебя нет руки и нет ноги,
У тебя нет руки и нет ноги,
Ты, бесхребетный и бесхарактерный тип,
Тебе осталось только сидеть и просить милостыню.
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»

«Но я рада видеть тебя дома,
Я рада видеть тебя дома,
Я рада видеть тебя дома,
Вернувшегося с острова Цейлон
Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала!»
When the road is sweet
Hurroo hurroo
When the road is sweet
Hurroo hurroo
Sweet Athy
A stick in the hand, A drop in the eye
A doleful damsel i heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are the eyes that looked so mild,
Hurroo hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild,
Hurroo hurroo
Mild
When you first beguiled
Why did ya run from me and the child
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus:]
We had guns and drums and
Hurroo hurroo
We had guns and drums and
Hurroo hurroo
We had guns and drums
The enemy never slew ya
Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are you
Hurroo hurroo
Where are you
Hurroo hurroo
Where are you
When first you went to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus]

You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg,
Hurroo hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg,
Hurroo hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
You're a spinless, boneless, chickenless egg
Bowl
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus]

I'm happy to see ya home,
Hurroo hurroo
I'm happy to see ya home,
Hurroo hurroo
I'm happy to see ya home
From the isle of Ceylon
Johnny I hardly knew ya

[Chorus]

Transfer:

When I went to my native Eitai,
When I went to my native Eitai,
When I went to my native Eitai,
With a crutch in his hand and tears in his eyes,
I heard the cry of a sad woman:
"Johnny, I hardly recognized you!"

"Where are those eyes that shone with kindness,
Where are those eyes that shone with kindness,
Where are those eyes that shone with kindness,
When was the first time you fascinated my poor heart?
Why did you flee to the war from me and the child?
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”

"We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
"The enemy will never finish you,
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”

"Where are the legs that bore you,
Where are the legs that carried you
Where are the legs that carried you
When you first left, took the gun
There is no doubt that you danced yours
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”

"We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
"The enemy will never finish you,
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”

"Where are the legs that bore you,
Where are the legs that carried you
Where are the legs that carried you
When you first left, took the gun
There is no doubt that you danced yours
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”

"We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
We have guns and drums, drums and guns.
"The enemy will never finish you,
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”

"You have no arm and no leg,
You have no arm and no leg,
You have no arm and no leg,
You, spineless and without character,
You just have to sit and ask for alms.
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”

“But I'm glad to see you at home,
I'm glad to see you at home
I'm glad to see you at home
Returning from Ceylon
Johnny, I hardly recognized you! ”
