The Decemberists - Lagu Eli, The Barrow Boy Lirik Terjemahan

Eli, the barrowboy, you’re the old town
Eli, si barrowboy, kau kota tua
Sells coal and marigolds and he cries out all down the day
Menjual batu bara dan marigold dan dia menangis sepanjang hari
Below the tamarac she is crying
Di bawah tamarac dia menangis
Corn cobs and candlewax for the buying, all down the day
Jagung tongkol dan lilin untuk membeli, sepanjang hari


Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
Apakah saya bisa membeli cintaku dengan jubah yang bagus?
Made of gold and silk arabian thread
Terbuat dari benang arab emas dan sutra
She is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
Dia sudah meninggal dan pergi dan terbaring di hutan pinus
And I must push my barrow all the day
Dan saya harus mendorong barnes saya sepanjang hari
And I must push my barrow all the day
Dan saya harus mendorong barnes saya sepanjang hari


Eli, the barrowboy, when they found him
Eli, si barrowboy, saat mereka menemukannya
Dressed all in corduroy, he had drowned in the river down the way
Dengan mengenakan korduroi semua, dia telah tenggelam di sungai di jalan setapak
They laid his body down in a churchyard
Mereka meletakkan mayatnya di halaman gereja
But still when the moon is out, with his pushcart, he calls down the day
Tapi saat bulan terbit, dengan kereta dorongnya, dia memanggilnya hari ini


Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
Apakah saya bisa membeli cintaku dengan gaun yang bagus
Made of gold and silk arabian thread
Terbuat dari benang arab emas dan sutra
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
Tapi aku mati dan pergi dan berbaring di tanah gereja
But still I push my barrow all the day
Tapi tetap saja aku mendorong barangku seharian
Still I push my barrow all the day
Masih saya mendorong saya barrow sepanjang hari
