Sørøver Jenny - SebastiAn traduction en anglais

Sørøver Jenny

Mine herrer, her ser De mig stå og pudse glas.
Jeg reder Deres senge for Dem.
De stikker mig en skilling og jeg takker som en træl.
De ser mine laser i et luset hotel,
De aner ikke hvem De har for dem, men
En skønne aften bli'r der skreget i havnen,
Og man spø'r, hvad er det mon der sker?
Og man ser mig stå og smile bag buffeten.
Og man si'r: Hvorfor smiler, hvorfor smiler hun af det?

Et skib med fem master, med fyrretyve kanoner
Har lagt til kaj.

Og de siger: Pas dine glas mit barn.
Jeg svarer: Som De ønsker hr.
Jeg tager deres skillinger og sengene bli'r redt.
Men der er ingen der skal sove i dem mer',
Og de aner endnu ikke hvem jeg er.
På denne aften går det løs i havnen.
Og man spø'r: Hva' skal der nu ske?
De ser mig stå og kigge ud ad vinduet,
Og man si'r: Hvorfor står hun, hvorfor står hun der og ler?

Et skib med fem master, med fyrretyve kanoner
Beskyder byen.

Og mine herrer så' det slut med at ha' det sjovt
Når murene forsvinder i en sky.
I brandskæret ser man mens byen går i grus,
Hotellet står tilbage uberørt af bly.
Man spø'r: For hvis skyld skånes det?
Og den nat opstår der kaos om hotellet.
Og man spø'r: Hvem har sæde der?
Og om morgenen når jeg træder ud ad døren,
Vil man sige: Var det bare, var det bare hende der?

Et skib med fem master, med fyrretyve kanoner
Sender flaget op.

Til middag myldrer der hundreder i land.
Hvert andet hus bli'r gennemsøgt.
De fanger hver eneste de ser på deres vej,
Og lægger dem i lænker og fører dem for mig,
Og siger: Hvem ska' så a' med ho'det?
Og den middag bli'r der stille i havnen,
Når de spø'r hvem der nu skal dø.
Og så hører de mig sige: Allesammen!
Og når ho'det springer, siger jeg: Hopla!
Et skib med fem master, med fyrretyve kanoner
Forsvinder med mig.

Et skib med fem master, med fyrretyve kanoner ...

Pirate Jenny

My lady, here I stand and polish glasses,
I make your bed for you.
You toss me a coin, and I bow like a slave,
You watch my legs at a lousy hotel,
You have no idea who you have before you, but
One fine evening there will be screams in the harbor,
And you will ask, what is happening?
And you will see me standing behind the buffet, smiling.
And you will ask: Why are you smiling, why are you smiling at this?

A ship with five masts, with forty cannons
Has docked.

And they say: Take care of your glasses, my child.
I answer: As you wish, sir.
I take their coins, and the beds will be made.
But no one will sleep in them again,
And they still have no idea who I am.
On this evening, it all starts in the harbor.
And you will ask: What is about to happen?
You will see me standing and looking out the window,
And you will ask: Why is she standing there, why is she standing there and laughing?

A ship with five masts, with forty cannons
Bombards the city.

And my masters will have had enough of having fun
When the walls disappear in a cloud of smoke.
In the glow of the fire, you will see the city go up in flames,
The hotel remains untouched by lead.
You will ask: For whose sake is it being spared?
And that night, there will be chaos around the hotel.
And you will ask: Who has a seat there?
And in the morning, when I step out the door,
You will say: Was it just her, was it just her there?

A ship with five masts, with forty cannons
Raises its flag.

At midday, hundreds of people swarm ashore.
Every other house is searched.
They arrest everyone they see in their path,
And put them in chains and bring them before me,
And ask: Who shall have their head?
And that noon, the harbor will be silent,
When they ask who shall now die.
And then you will hear me say: All of them!
And when the head falls, I will say: Hooray!
A ship with five masts, with forty cannons
Sails away with me.

A ship with five masts, with forty cannons ...
