Gearrthóg Físe
Lyrics
Born down in a dead man’s town
– Rugadh síos i mbaile fear marbh
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
– Ba é an chéad chic a ghlac mé nuair a bhuail mé an talamh
End up like a dog that’s been beat too much
– Deireadh suas cosúil le madra a buille an iomarca
‘Til you spend half your life just coverin’ up, now
– ‘Til you spend half your life just coverin’ suas, anois
Born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh i Meiriceá É.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh Mé Sna Stáit Aontaithe.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh Mé Sna Stáit Aontaithe.
Born in the U.S.A. now
– Rugadh i Meiriceá anois é
Got in a little hometown jam
– Fuair mé i subh beag baile dúchais
So they put a rifle in my hand
– Mar sin chuir siad raidhfil i mo lámh
Sent me off to a foreign land
– Chuir mé amach go tír iasachta mé
To go and kill the yellow man
– Chun dul agus an fear buí a mharú
Born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh i Meiriceá É.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh Mé Sna Stáit Aontaithe.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh Mé Sna Stáit Aontaithe.
I was born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh Mé Sna Stáit Aontaithe.
Come back home to the refinery
– Tar abhaile go dtí an scaglann
Hirin’ man says, “Son, if it was up to me”
– Deir fear Hirin’, “A Mhic, dá mba fúmsa a bhí sé”
Went down to see my V.A. man
– Chuaigh mé síos chun mo Fhear V. A. a fheiceáil
He said, “Son, don’t you understand,” now
– Dúirt sé, “A Mhic, Nach dtuigeann tú,” anois
Oh yeah
– Ó sea
No, no
– Níl, níl
No, no, no
– Níl, níl, níl
I had a brother at Khe Sanh
– Bhí deartháir Agam Ag Khe Sanh
Fightin’ off them Viet Cong
– Fightin ‘ off them Viet Cong
They’re still there, he’s all gone
– Tá siad fós ann, tá sé ar fad imithe
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
– Bhí bean aige a raibh grá aige i Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms, now
– Fuair mé pictiúr de ina lámha, anois
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
– Síos faoi scáth an phríosúin
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
– Amach ag tinte gáis na scaglainne
I’m ten years burnin’ down the road
– Tá mé deich mbliana burnin ‘ síos an bóthar
Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go
– Níl aon áit le dul, níl aon áit le dul
Born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh i Meiriceá É.
I was born in the U.S.A. now
– Rugadh mé i Meiriceá Anois
Born in the U.S.A
– Birth In Usa
I’m a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
– Tá Mé I Mo Chónaí i Meiriceá Le Fada An Lá. – I am a long gone in The U. s. a. now.
Born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh i Meiriceá É.
Born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh i Meiriceá É.
Born in the U.S.A.
– Rugadh i Meiriceá É.
I’m a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
– I ‘ m A cool Hairdresser in u. s. a.
