Sekarang, ketika saya baru saja masih kecil,
Standin to my Daddy's knee,
Berdiri di dadaku,
My poppa said “Son, don't let the man get you
Poppa saya berkata “Nak, jangan biarkan orang itu menangkapmu
And do what he done to me.”
Dan lakukan apa yang dia lakukan padaku. “
I can remember the fourth of July,
Aku ingat tanggal 4 Juli,
Runnin' through the backwood bare.
Runnin ‘melalui backwood telanjang.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
Dan saya masih bisa mendengar anjing bangkai anjing tua saya,
Chasin' down a hoodoo there,
Chasin ‘menurunkan hoodoo di sana,
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Chasin ‘menurunkan hoodoo di sana.
Born on the Bayou
Lahir di Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Lahir di Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Lahir di Bayou
Wish I was back on the Bayou,
Seandainya aku kembali ke Bayou,
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen.
Rollin ‘dengan beberapa Cajun Queen.
Wishin' I where a fast freight train,
Wishin ‘I dimana kereta barang cepat,
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans.
Hanya sebuah chooglin ‘di bawah ke New Orleans.
