Chain Around My Ankle Lyrics – John Williamson
Singer: John Williamson
Title: Chain Around My Ankle
In the finest harbour in the world
In a cove they’re callin’ Sydney
The captain Governor Phillip trimmed his sails
With shelter from the winds
And the big Pacific Ocean
We landed in New South Wales
And you should see the parrots
All coloured in like rainbows
Wallabies and screechin’ cockatoos
And a bird that won’t stop laughin’
When he see’s me gettin’ a floggin’
He wouldn’t be laughin’ if he was in my shoes
You beat your drum
You drink your rum
You threaten me with hangin’
It’s difficult with a chain around me ankle
But given half a chance I’d break
And disappear in the grеy gums
And learn to live like a nativе in this land
And the native Blacks are friendly
Even though a bit suspicious
Of anyone with a Redcoat or a gun
If I could learn their lingo
And listen to the Dreamtime
The bush and me and the animals would be one
And my convict mates all hate the place
They long for Mother England
But what in the hell has she got? I declare
The chimneys are a-smokin’
They’re smelly and they’re chokin’
And the Dukes own every bunny rabbit there
And the Irish girl I laid with
In the middle of the ocean
She said she’s willin’ and keen to marry me
But workin’ like a dog
And treated like a donkey
Given ten years or so I might be free
You beat your drum
You drink your rum
You threaten me with hangin’
It’s difficult with a chain around me ankle
But given half a chance I’d break
And disappear in the grey gums
And learn to live like a native in this land
You beat your drum
You drink your rum
You threaten me with hangin’
It’s difficult with a chain around me ankle
But given half a chance I’d break
And disappear in the grey gums
And learn to live like a native in this land

Chain Around My Ankle – Terjemahan / Translation
Di pelabuhan terbaik di dunia
Dalam sebuah teluk mereka disebut sydney
Gubernur Kapten Phillip memangkas layarnya
Dengan berlindung dari angin
Dan Samudra Pasifik Besar
Kami mendarat di New South Wales
Dan Anda harus melihat burung beo
Semua diwarnai seperti rainbows
Walabies dan Screechin ‘Cockatoos
Dan seekor burung yang tidak akan berhenti tertawa
Ketika dia melihat aku mendapatkan floggin ‘
Dia tidak akan tertawa ‘jika dia ada di sepatuku
Anda mengalahkan drum Anda
Anda minum rum Anda
Anda mengancam saya dengan hangin ‘
Sulit dengan rantai di sekitar saya pergelangan kaki
Tetapi diberi setengah kesempatan saya akan istirahat
Dan menghilang di gusi
Dan belajar hidup seperti nativе di tanah ini
Dan orang kulit hitam asli ramah
Meskipun agak mencurigakan
Dari siapa pun dengan redcoat atau pistol
Jika saya bisa belajar lingo mereka
Dan dengarkan mimpi
Semak dan aku dan binatang akan menjadi satu
Dan pasangan terpidana saya semua membenci tempat itu
Mereka merindukan ibu Inggris
Tapi apa yang dia dapatkan? Saya menyatakan
Cerobong asapnya A-Smokin ‘
Mereka bau dan mereka chokin ‘
Dan The Dukes memiliki setiap kelinci kelinci di sana
Dan gadis Irlandia aku berbaring
Di tengah lautan
Dia bilang dia Willin ‘dan ingin menikah denganku
Tapi bekerja seperti seekor anjing
Dan diperlakukan seperti keledai
Diberikan sepuluh tahun atau lebih saya akan bebas
Anda mengalahkan drum Anda
Anda minum rum Anda
Anda mengancam saya dengan hangin ‘
Sulit dengan rantai di sekitar saya pergelangan kaki
Tetapi diberi setengah kesempatan saya akan istirahat
Dan menghilang di gusi abu-abu
Dan belajar hidup seperti penduduk asli di tanah ini
Anda mengalahkan drum Anda
Anda minum rum Anda
Anda mengancam saya dengan hangin ‘
Sulit dengan rantai di sekitar saya pergelangan kaki
Tetapi diberi setengah kesempatan saya akan istirahat
Dan menghilang di gusi abu-abu
Dan belajar hidup seperti penduduk asli di tanah ini
