Åh Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig - Four Jacks Übersetzung ins Englische

Åh Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig

En søndag midt i våren drog soldaten ud.
Han rejste med sorg fra sin unge brud.
Han måtte afsted på deres bryllupsdag
For at tjene sin konge, sit land og sit flag.
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Jeg savner dig her ved min side.
Oh, Marie jeg vil hjem.

Marie sidder hjemme og venter på brev.
Det kommer, og hun læser de ord hanskrev:
"Det er svært for mig ar vær' i majestætens tøj,
Det' trælsomt og bedrøv'ligt og no'et kedeligt møj"
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Jeg savner dig her ved min side.
Oh, Marie jeg vil hjem.

Han længest hjem igen til den gamle gård.
I tjen'sten sker der meget, som han ikke forstår.
Til alt hvad han lyst til, får han ikke lov.
Han længes hjem til marken og den blanke plov.
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Jeg savner dig her ved min side.
Oh, Marie jeg vil hjem.

Han står en nat og drømmer på den lange vagt.
På den sergent der kommer gi'r han ikke agt.
Så kommer han i spjældet, åh den tid er lang.
Nu sidder han bag tremmer og synger trist sin sang.
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Oh, Marie, jeg vil hjem til dig.
Jeg savner dig her ved min side.
Oh, Marie jeg vil hjem.

Oh, Mary, I Want to Go Home to You

One Sunday in spring, a soldier left.
He traveled away with grief from his young bride.
He had to go on their wedding day
To serve his king, his country, and his flag.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
I miss you here by my side.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home.

Mary sits at home and waits for a letter.
It comes, and she reads the words he wrote:
"It's hard for me to wear the king's uniform,
It's tiresome and dreary, and very boring work."
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
I miss you here by my side.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home.

He yearns to go home to the old farm.
In the service, much happens that he doesn't understand.
He's not allowed to do what he wants.
He yearns to go home to the fields and the bright plow.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
I miss you here by my side.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home.

He stands and dreams on the long watch one night.
He doesn't pay attention to the sergeant who comes.
Then he's thrown in jail, oh, that time is long.
Now he sits behind bars and sings his sad song.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home to you.
I miss you here by my side.
Oh, Mary, I want to go home.
