Old Shep

ARTHUR WILLIS, CLYDE J. FOLEY

Lyrics Translation

When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out

As the years fast did roll
Old Shep, he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
"I can do no more for him, Jim"

With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead

He came to my side and looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see

Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home

When I was a lad
Quando eu era um rapaz
And old Shep was a pup
E o velho Shep era um filhote
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Sobre colinas e prados nós vagávamos
Just a boy and his dog
Apenas um menino e seu cachorro
We were both full of fun
Nós dois estávamos cheios de diversão
We grew up together that way
Nós crescemos juntos dessa maneira
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
Eu me lembro do tempo no velho buraco para nadar
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
Quando eu teria me afogado sem dúvida
But old Shep was right there
Mas o velho Shep estava bem ali
To the rescue he came
Para o resgate ele veio
He jumped in and then pulled me out
Ele pulou e então me puxou para fora
As the years fast did roll
Conforme os anos passavam rapidamente
Old Shep, he grew old
O velho Shep, ele envelheceu
His eyes were fast growing dim
Seus olhos estavam ficando rapidamente turvos
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
E um dia o médico olhou para mim e disse
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
"Não posso fazer mais nada por ele, Jim"
With hands that were trembling
Com as mãos que estavam tremendo
I picked up my gun
Eu peguei minha arma
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
E apontei para a cabeça fiel de Shep
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
Eu simplesmente não conseguia fazer isso, eu queria correr
I wish they would shoot me instead
Eu desejava que eles atirassem em mim em vez disso
He came to my side and looked up at me
Ele veio ao meu lado e olhou para mim
And laid his old head on my knee
E colocou sua velha cabeça no meu joelho
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
Eu tinha atingido o melhor amigo que um homem já teve
I cried so I scarcely could see
Eu chorei tanto que mal conseguia ver
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
O velho Shep, ele se foi para onde os bons cachorros vão
And no more with old Shep will I roam
E não mais com o velho Shep eu vou vagar
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Mas se os cães têm um céu, há uma coisa que eu sei
Old Shep has a wonderful home
O velho Shep tem um lar maravilhoso
When I was a lad
Cuando era un chico
And old Shep was a pup
Y el viejo Shep era un cachorro
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Por colinas y prados solíamos vagar
Just a boy and his dog
Solo un niño y su perro
We were both full of fun
Ambos estábamos llenos de diversión
We grew up together that way
Crecimos juntos de esa manera
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
Recuerdo la vez en el viejo agujero para nadar
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
Cuando sin duda me habría ahogado
But old Shep was right there
Pero el viejo Shep estaba allí
To the rescue he came
Al rescate vino
He jumped in and then pulled me out
Saltó y luego me sacó
As the years fast did roll
A medida que los años pasaban rápidamente
Old Shep, he grew old
El viejo Shep, se hizo viejo
His eyes were fast growing dim
Sus ojos se estaban oscureciendo rápidamente
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
Y un día el doctor me miró y dijo
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
"No puedo hacer más por él, Jim"
With hands that were trembling
Con manos temblorosas
I picked up my gun
Tomé mi arma
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
Y la apunté a la fiel cabeza de Shep
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
Simplemente no podía hacerlo, quería correr
I wish they would shoot me instead
Desearía que me dispararan a mí en su lugar
He came to my side and looked up at me
Vino a mi lado y me miró
And laid his old head on my knee
Y apoyó su vieja cabeza en mi rodilla
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
Había golpeado al mejor amigo que un hombre jamás tuvo
I cried so I scarcely could see
Lloré tanto que apenas podía ver
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
El viejo Shep, se ha ido donde van los buenos perritos
And no more with old Shep will I roam
Y ya no vagaré más con el viejo Shep
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Pero si los perros tienen un cielo hay una cosa que sé
Old Shep has a wonderful home
El viejo Shep tiene un hogar maravilloso
When I was a lad
Quand j'étais un gamin
And old Shep was a pup
Et que le vieux Shep était un chiot
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Sur les collines et les prairies, nous nous égarions
Just a boy and his dog
Juste un garçon et son chien
We were both full of fun
Nous étions tous les deux pleins de joie
We grew up together that way
Nous avons grandi ensemble de cette façon
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
Je me souviens du temps à l'ancien trou de natation
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
Quand j'aurais sans doute dû me noyer
But old Shep was right there
Mais le vieux Shep était juste là
To the rescue he came
Il est venu à la rescousse
He jumped in and then pulled me out
Il a sauté dedans et m'a ensuite sorti
As the years fast did roll
Alors que les années passaient rapidement
Old Shep, he grew old
Le vieux Shep, il vieillissait
His eyes were fast growing dim
Ses yeux commençaient à s'assombrir rapidement
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
Et un jour le docteur m'a regardé et a dit
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
"Je ne peux plus rien faire pour lui, Jim"
With hands that were trembling
Avec des mains qui tremblaient
I picked up my gun
J'ai pris mon fusil
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
Et l'ai pointé sur la tête fidèle de Shep
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
Je ne pouvais tout simplement pas le faire, je voulais fuir
I wish they would shoot me instead
Je souhaite qu'ils me tirent dessus à la place
He came to my side and looked up at me
Il est venu à mes côtés et m'a regardé
And laid his old head on my knee
Et a posé sa vieille tête sur mon genou
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
J'avais frappé le meilleur ami qu'un homme ait jamais eu
I cried so I scarcely could see
J'ai pleuré tellement que je pouvais à peine voir
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
Le vieux Shep, il est allé là où vont les bons chiens
And no more with old Shep will I roam
Et je ne vagabonderai plus avec le vieux Shep
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Mais si les chiens ont un paradis, il y a une chose que je sais
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Le vieux Shep a une merveilleuse maison
When I was a lad
Als ich ein Junge war
And old Shep was a pup
Und der alte Shep war ein Welpe
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Über Hügel und Wiesen würden wir streifen
Just a boy and his dog
Nur ein Junge und sein Hund
We were both full of fun
Wir waren beide voller Spaß
We grew up together that way
So sind wir zusammen aufgewachsen
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
Ich erinnere mich an die Zeit am alten Schwimmloch
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
Als ich zweifellos ertrunken wäre
But old Shep was right there
Aber der alte Shep war genau dort
To the rescue he came
Zur Rettung kam er
He jumped in and then pulled me out
Er sprang hinein und zog mich dann heraus
As the years fast did roll
Als die Jahre schnell vergingen
Old Shep, he grew old
Wurde der alte Shep alt
His eyes were fast growing dim
Seine Augen wurden schnell trüb
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
Und eines Tages schaute der Arzt mich an und sagte
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
„Ich kann nichts mehr für ihn tun, Jim“
With hands that were trembling
Mit zitternden Händen
I picked up my gun
Nahm ich meine Waffe
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
Und zielte auf Sheps treuen Kopf
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
Ich konnte es einfach nicht tun, ich wollte weglaufen
I wish they would shoot me instead
Ich wünschte, sie würden mich stattdessen erschießen
He came to my side and looked up at me
Er kam zu meiner Seite und schaute zu mir hoch
And laid his old head on my knee
Und legte seinen alten Kopf auf mein Knie
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
Ich hatte den besten Freund getroffen, den ein Mann je hatte
I cried so I scarcely could see
Ich weinte so, dass ich kaum sehen konnte
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
Der alte Shep, er ist dorthin gegangen, wo die guten Hunde hingehen
And no more with old Shep will I roam
Und nicht mehr mit dem alten Shep werde ich umherstreifen
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Aber wenn Hunde einen Himmel haben, gibt es eine Sache, die ich weiß
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Der alte Shep hat ein wunderbares Zuhause
When I was a lad
Quando ero un ragazzo
And old Shep was a pup
E il vecchio Shep era un cucciolo
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Sulle colline e prati ci allontanavamo
Just a boy and his dog
Solo un ragazzo e il suo cane
We were both full of fun
Eravamo entrambi pieni di divertimento
We grew up together that way
Siamo cresciuti insieme in quel modo
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
Ricordo il tempo al vecchio buco per nuotare
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
Quando sarei quasi annegato senza dubbio
But old Shep was right there
Ma il vecchio Shep era proprio lì
To the rescue he came
Al salvataggio è arrivato
He jumped in and then pulled me out
Si è tuffato e poi mi ha tirato fuori
As the years fast did roll
Mentre gli anni passavano velocemente
Old Shep, he grew old
Il vecchio Shep, invecchiava
His eyes were fast growing dim
I suoi occhi stavano rapidamente diventando opachi
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
E un giorno il dottore mi guardò e disse
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
"Non posso fare più nulla per lui, Jim"
With hands that were trembling
Con le mani che tremavano
I picked up my gun
Ho preso la mia pistola
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
E l'ho puntata sulla fedele testa di Shep
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
Non potevo farlo, volevo scappare
I wish they would shoot me instead
Avrei preferito che mi sparassero invece
He came to my side and looked up at me
È venuto al mio fianco e mi ha guardato
And laid his old head on my knee
E ha appoggiato la sua vecchia testa sul mio ginocchio
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
Avevo colpito il miglior amico che un uomo potesse avere
I cried so I scarcely could see
Piansi tanto che potevo a malapena vedere
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
Il vecchio Shep, è andato dove vanno i bravi cani
And no more with old Shep will I roam
E non vagherò più con il vecchio Shep
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Ma se i cani hanno un paradiso c'è una cosa che so
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Il vecchio Shep ha una casa meravigliosa
When I was a lad
Ketika aku masih bocah
And old Shep was a pup
Dan Shep tua masih anak anjing
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Melintasi bukit dan padang rumput kita berkelana
Just a boy and his dog
Hanya seorang anak dan anjingnya
We were both full of fun
Kami berdua penuh dengan kegembiraan
We grew up together that way
Kami tumbuh bersama dengan cara itu
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
Aku ingat waktu di lubang renang tua
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
Ketika aku hampir tenggelam tanpa keraguan
But old Shep was right there
Tapi Shep tua ada di sana
To the rescue he came
Dia datang untuk menyelamatkanku
He jumped in and then pulled me out
Dia melompat dan kemudian menarikku keluar
As the years fast did roll
Seiring berjalannya waktu dengan cepat
Old Shep, he grew old
Shep tua, dia semakin tua
His eyes were fast growing dim
Matanya semakin redup
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
Dan suatu hari dokter menatapku dan berkata
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
"Aku tidak bisa berbuat lebih banyak untuknya, Jim"
With hands that were trembling
Dengan tangan yang gemetar
I picked up my gun
Aku mengambil senapanku
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
Dan mengarahkannya ke kepala Shep yang setia
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
Aku tidak bisa melakukannya, aku ingin lari
I wish they would shoot me instead
Aku berharap mereka akan menembakku sebagai gantinya
He came to my side and looked up at me
Dia datang ke sisiku dan menatapku
And laid his old head on my knee
Dan menaruh kepalanya yang tua di lututku
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
Aku telah memukul teman terbaik yang pernah dimiliki seorang pria
I cried so I scarcely could see
Aku menangis sampai hampir tidak bisa melihat
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
Shep tua, dia telah pergi ke tempat anjing-anjing baik pergi
And no more with old Shep will I roam
Dan aku tidak akan lagi bersama Shep tua
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Tapi jika anjing memiliki surga ada satu hal yang aku tahu
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Shep tua memiliki rumah yang indah
When I was a lad
เมื่อฉันยังเป็นเด็ก
And old Shep was a pup
และเชปเป็นลูกสุนัข
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
เราจะเดินทางไปทั่วเนินเขาและทุ่งนา
Just a boy and his dog
แค่เด็กหนึ่งกับสุนัขของเขา
We were both full of fun
เราทั้งสองมีความสนุกสนาน
We grew up together that way
เราโตขึ้นด้วยกันในทางนั้น
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
ฉันจำได้เวลาที่รูปัยเก่า
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
เมื่อฉันจะต้องจมน้ำอย่างแน่นอน
But old Shep was right there
แต่เชปอยู่ที่นั่น
To the rescue he came
เขามาช่วยฉัน
He jumped in and then pulled me out
เขากระโดดลงไปแล้วดึงฉันขึ้นมา
As the years fast did roll
เมื่อปีที่ผ่านไปเร็ว
Old Shep, he grew old
เชปเขาเริ่มแก่ขึ้น
His eyes were fast growing dim
ดวงตาของเขาเริ่มมืดลง
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
และวันหนึ่งหมอมองฉันแล้วบอก
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
"ฉันทำอะไรเพิ่มเติมให้เขาไม่ได้แล้ว, จิม"
With hands that were trembling
ด้วยมือที่สั่น
I picked up my gun
ฉันหยิบปืนขึ้นมา
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
และเล็งมันไปที่หัวของเชปที่ภักดี
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
ฉันทำไม่ได้, ฉันอยากวิ่ง
I wish they would shoot me instead
ฉันหวังว่าพวกเขาจะยิงฉันแทน
He came to my side and looked up at me
เขามาอยู่ข้างฉันและมองขึ้นมาที่ฉัน
And laid his old head on my knee
และวางหัวเขาที่หัวข้อของฉัน
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
ฉันได้ทำร้ายเพื่อนที่ดีที่สุดที่คนหนึ่งเคยมี
I cried so I scarcely could see
ฉันร้องไห้จนฉันเห็นอะไรไม่ชัด
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
เชปเขาได้ไปที่สุนัขดีๆ ไป
And no more with old Shep will I roam
และฉันจะไม่ได้เดินทางกับเชปอีกต่อไป
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
แต่ถ้าสุนัขมีสวรรค์ มีสิ่งหนึ่งที่ฉันรู้
Old Shep has a wonderful home
เชปมีบ้านที่สวยงาม
When I was a lad
当我还是个小男孩
And old Shep was a pup
老舍普还是只小狗
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
我们会在山丘和草地上漫游
Just a boy and his dog
只有一个男孩和他的狗
We were both full of fun
我们都充满了乐趣
We grew up together that way
我们就这样一起长大
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
我记得在老游泳洞的那个时候
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
我差点淹死
But old Shep was right there
但老舍普就在那里
To the rescue he came
他来救我
He jumped in and then pulled me out
他跳进去然后把我拉出来
As the years fast did roll
随着岁月的流逝
Old Shep, he grew old
老舍普,他变老了
His eyes were fast growing dim
他的眼睛快要看不见了
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
有一天,医生看着我说
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
"我对他无能为力,吉姆"
With hands that were trembling
我的手在颤抖
I picked up my gun
我拿起我的枪
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
瞄准了舍普忠诚的头
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
我就是做不到,我想跑
I wish they would shoot me instead
我希望他们能射我而不是他
He came to my side and looked up at me
他来到我身边,抬头看着我
And laid his old head on my knee
并把他的老头放在我的膝盖上
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
我打了一个男人最好的朋友
I cried so I scarcely could see
我哭得几乎看不见
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
老舍普,他去了好狗狗去的地方
And no more with old Shep will I roam
我再也不会和老舍普一起漫游了
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
但如果狗有天堂,我知道一件事
Old Shep has a wonderful home
老舍普有一个美好的家。
