Gammel Dansk Lyrics – Ralph McTell
Singer: Ralph McTell
Title: Gammel Dansk
The daylight quickly fading
With his headache wearing off
The collar of his overcoat
Muffling his cough
A siren from a ship
Barely made him raise his head
Since he’d missed the boat to Malmo
He’d try Gothenburg instead
Outside the snow was falling
Like torn up belting slips
Confetti for the jilted
Wedding night of passing ships
And if they ever find her
She’ll be one more on the list
And if they never find her
How long would she be missed
Black skeletons of cranes
Against the snow at night
Witness dockside shadows
That negotiate the night
Lost souls flew like seagulls
Who have slipped their earthly chain
Risen and returned
As the snow turns into rain
While the Filipino sailors
With a flag from Panama
Silently slipped mooring’s
He stayed anchored at the bar
The barmaid poured his beer
Without a second glance
And set it on the counter
With a shot of Gammel Dansk
Any dockside dive
Is a harbour not a home
Life is black and white
And the world is monochrome
While the Filipino sailors
With a flag from Panama
Left the harbour safety
To the open sea once more
Their world moved slowly backwards
As the vessel headed past
He leant forward on the counter
And drained another glass
As he pulled out his cigarettes
Loose change spilled on the floor
Like a clue left for the cleaner
As he tilted out the door
And through the bones of cranes
The wind began to blow
Birds settled on the water
And the rain turned back to snow

Gammel Dansk – Terjemahan / Translation
Siang hari dengan cepat memudar
Dengan sakit kepala hilang
Kerah mantelnya
Meredam batuknya
Sirene dari kapal
Hampir tidak membuatnya mengangkat kepalanya
Sejak dia melewatkan perahu ke Malmo
Dia akan mencoba Gothenburg sebagai gantinya
Di luar salju turun
Seperti slip slip slip
Confetti untuk orang yang ditarik
Malam pernikahan yang lewat
Dan jika mereka menemukannya
Dia akan menjadi satu lagi dalam daftar
Dan jika mereka tidak pernah menemukannya
Berapa lama dia dirindukan
Kerangka hitam crane
Melawan salju di malam hari
Saksi Dockside Shadows
Itu menegosiasikan malam
Jiwa yang hilang terbang seperti burung camar
Yang telah menyelipkan rantai duniawi mereka
Bangkit dan kembali
Saat salju berubah menjadi hujan
Sedangkan pelaut Filipina
Dengan bendera dari Panama
Menyelamkan secara diam -diam Mooring
Dia tetap berlabuh di bar
Pelayan bar menuangkan birnya
Tanpa pandangan kedua
Dan taruh di meja
Dengan suntikan Gammel Dansk
Penyelaman dockside apa pun
Adalah pelabuhan bukan rumah
Hidup itu Hitam dan Putih
Dan dunia adalah monokrom
Sedangkan pelaut Filipina
Dengan bendera dari Panama
Meninggalkan keselamatan pelabuhan
Ke laut terbuka sekali lagi
Dunia mereka bergerak mundur perlahan
Saat kapal melewati
Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke depan di meja
Dan menguras gelas lain
Saat dia mengeluarkan rokoknya
Perubahan longgar tumpah di lantai
Seperti petunjuk yang tersisa untuk pembersih
Saat dia miring keluar pintu
Dan melalui tulang crane
Angin mulai bertiup
Burung menetap di atas air
Dan hujan kembali ke salju
