We set out in the spring
Kami berangkat di musim semi
With a trunk full of books about everything
Dengan koper penuh buku tentang segala hal
About solar devices
Tentang perangkat surya
And how nice natural childbirth is
Dan betapa manisnya persalinan alami
We cut down some trees
Kami menebang beberapa pohon
And we trailed our ideals
Dan kami mengikuti cita-cita kami
Through the forest glade
Melalui hutan rawa
We dammed up the stream
Kami membendung arus
And the kids cooled their heels
Dan anak-anak mendinginkan tumit mereka
In the fishing pool we’d made
Di kolam pemancingan yang kami buat

We held hands and we exchanged bands
Kami berpegangan tangan dan kami saling bertukar band
And we practically lived off the land
Dan kita praktis tinggal di luar negeri
You adopted a fox cub
Anda mengadopsi sebuah rubah cub
Whose mother was somebody’s coat
Ibu siapa adalah mantel seseorang
You fed him by hand
Anda memberinya makan dengan tangan
And then snuggled snuggled him down
Dan kemudian meringkuk meringkuknya
By the grandfather bed while I wrote
Oleh ranjang kakek saat aku menulis
And we grew our own maize
Dan kita menanam jagung kita sendiri
And I only occasionally went into town
Dan saya hanya sesekali pergi ke kota
To stock up on antibiotics
Untuk persediaan antibiotik
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around
Dan kerang untuk senapan yang saya simpan di sekitar
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
Saya menceritakan kisah-kisah anak-anak saat Anda mengerjakan alat tenun Anda
And the sun went down sooner each day
Dan matahari terbenam lebih cepat setiap hari
“Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
 “Eeyore keledai kelabu tua berdiri di sampingnya
Of the stream and he looked at himself in the water
Dari sungai dan dia melihat dirinya di air
‘Pathetic’ he said, ‘That’s what it is’
‘Menyedihkan’ dia berkata, ‘Itu dia’
‘Good morning Eeyore’ said Pooh
‘Selamat pagi Eeyore’ kata Pooh
‘Oh’ said Pooh, He thought for a long time
‘Oh’ kata Pooh, dia sudah lama berpikir

The leaves all fell down
Daunnya terjatuh
Our crops all turned brown
Tanaman kami menjadi cokelat
It was over
Sudah berakhir
As the first snowflakes fell
Saat kepingan salju pertama turun
I realized all was not well in the camp
Aku sadar semua tidak baik di kamp
The kids caught bronchitis
Anak-anak menangkap bronkitis
The space heater ran out of diesel
Pemanas ruang lari dari diesel
One weekend a friend from the East
Suatu akhir pekan seorang teman dari Timur
Rot his soul
Putar jiwanya
Stole your heart
Mencuri hatimu
I said, fuck it then
Kataku, bunuh saja itu
Take the kids back to town
Bawa anak-anak kembali ke kota
Maybe I’ll see you around
Mungkin aku akan melihatmu berkeliling

I said, go then
Kataku, pergi kemudian
She said, OK
Dia berkata, oke
And so…leaving all our hopes and dreams
Dan begitu … meninggalkan semua harapan dan impian kita
To the wind and the rain
Angin dan hujan
Taking only our stash
Mengambil hanya simpanan kami
Left our litter and trash
Meninggalkan sampah dan sampah kita
And set out on the road again
Dan berangkat lagi
On the road again
Dijalan lagi
On the road again “Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
Di jalan lagi “Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
You can bring Pearl she’s a darn nice girl
Anda bisa membawa Pearl dia gadis yang sangat baik
But don’t bring Liza.”
Tapi jangan bawa Liza. “
