Dan rubah yang terkenal
stepped up to make his speech
melangkah untuk menyampaikan pidatonya
His ship was on the rocks
Kapalnya ada di bebatuan
and rescue out of reach
dan menyelamatkan dari jangkauan
spotlit he stood
Spotlit dia berdiri
said what he thought he should
mengatakan apa yang dia pikir seharusnya
Half the crowd did laugh
Setengah kerumunan tertawa
though there was no joke
meski tidak ada lelucon
and soon the other half
dan segera setengah lainnya
were swallowed up in smoke
tertelan dalam asap
a robber on the wing
seorang perampok di sayap
could be heard to sing
Bisa terdengar bernyanyi
the strangest thing…
hal yang aneh …
Grandma
Nenek
We are Jonah
Kami adalah Yunus
rolling along
berguling bersama
in the teeth of the whale
di gigi ikan paus
Then the plane did land
Lalu pesawat mendarat
for some it did not crash
untuk beberapa itu tidak crash
From it emerged a man
Dari situlah muncul seorang pria
in trainers and moustache
di pelatih dan kumis
down he laid his load
Dia meletakkan bebannya
upon the hated road
di jalan yang dibenci
Then the road did part
Lalu jalan itu berhenti
and the tar did melt
dan tar itu meleleh
he loosened up his heart
Dia melonggarkan hatinya
he tightened up his belt
Dia mengencangkan ikat pinggangnya
like a piece of string
seperti seutas tali
then he began to sing
Lalu ia mulai bernyanyi
like a pearly king !
seperti raja mutiara!

We are Jonah
Kami adalah Yunus
rolling along
berguling bersama
in the teeth of the whale
di gigi ikan paus
Then the scene did shift
Lalu adegan itu bergeser
to a sunkissed sea
ke laut yang tenggelam
there was Montgomery Clift,
ada Montgomery Clift,
Jonah, the whale and me
Yunus, ikan paus dan aku
as the sun it set
seperti matahari terbenam
Montgomery placed his bet
Montgomery menaruh taruhannya
Then the whale did yawn
Lalu paus itu menguap
and fell asleep in four
dan tertidur di usia empat tahun
from dusk till dawn
dari senja hingga fajar
you should have heard him snore
Anda seharusnya sudah mendengarnya mendengkur
from Tierra Del Fuego
dari Tierra Del Fuego
to the Alaskan snows…
ke salju Alaska …
There she blows…
Di sana dia bertiup …

We are Jonah
Kami adalah Yunus

My dear old Grandma
Nenek tua saya tersayang
We are Jonah
Kami adalah Yunus
rolling along
berguling bersama
in the teeth of the whale!
di gigi ikan paus!
