хочу в буш к собакам динго
Однажды веселый свэгмэн пришел к бережку биллабонга,
И вот, в тени эвкалипта, на огне кипит старенький билли.
И свэгмен поет свою песню, а рядом танцует Матильда.
Сверху спустилась овечка - решила напиться водички.
На берегу биллабонга песню поет старый свэгмен
О том, как хорошо в его таккере маленькой жирной овечке.
Сверху спустился сквоттер верхом на хорошей лошадке,
Рядом скакали солдаты, один, два - да целых трое!
«Эй, что у тебя в мешочке?
Эй, слышишь ты нас, бродяга?»
Вскочил свэгмэн, с разбегу нырнул в воду
И прокричал, утопая - «Живым вы меня не возьмете!»
Вечерами вы можете слышать как вдоль биллабонга он бродит.
Он поет свою грустную песню,
А рядом - танцует Матильда.
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up got the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up got the swagman and jumped into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive", said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
