THE PEOPLE ARE SCRATCHING Lyrics – PETE SEEGER

Singer: PETE SEEGER
Title: THE PEOPLE ARE SCRATCHING

Come fill up your glasses and set yourselves down.
I’ll tell you a story of somebody’s town.
It isn’t too near and it’s not far away.
It’s not a place where I’d want to stay.

Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
The winter came in with a cold icy blast.
It killed off the flowers and killed off the grass.

The rabbits were starving because of the freeze.
They started eating the bark off the trees.
Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.

The farmers said, “This sort of thing just won’t do.
Our trees will be dead when the rabbits get through.
We’ll have to poison the rabbits, it’s clear;
Or we’ll have no crops to harvest next year.”

Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
So they brought the poison and spread it around.
And soon dead rabbits began to be found.

Dogs ate the rabbits and the farmers just said,
“We’ll poison those rabbits ’til the last dog is dead.”
Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.

Up in the sky there were meat-eating fowls.
The dead rabbits poisoned the hawks and the owls.
Thousands of field mice the hawks used to chase
Were multiplying all over the place.

Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
The fields and the meadows were barren and brown.
The mice got hungry and moved into town.

The city folks took the farmer’s advise
And all of them started to poison the mice.
Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.

There were dead mice in all the apartments and flats.
The cats ate the mice and the mice killed the cats.
The smell was awful and I’m glad to say
I wasn’t the man hired to haul them away.

Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
All through the country and all through the town
There wasn’t a dog or cat to be found.

The fleas asked each other, “Where can we stay?”
They’ve been on the people from then ’til this day.
Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.

All you small creatures that live in this land
Stay clear of the man with the poisonous hand!
A few bails of hay might keep you alive
But he’ll pay more to kill you than let you survive.

Now the people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat

THE PEOPLE ARE SCRATCHING – Terjemahan / Translation

Ayo isi kacamata Anda dan taruh diri Anda.
Saya akan menceritakan kisah kota seseorang.
Itu tidak terlalu dekat dan tidak jauh.
Ini bukan tempat di mana saya ingin tinggal.

Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.
Musim dingin datang dengan ledakan dingin yang dingin.
Itu menewaskan bunga -bunga dan terbunuh dari rumput.

Kelinci kelaparan karena pembekuan.
Mereka mulai memakan kulit pohon.
Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.

Para petani berkata, “Hal semacam ini tidak akan terjadi.
Pohon kita akan mati ketika kelinci melewati.
Kita harus meracuni kelinci, jelas;
Atau kita tidak akan memiliki tanaman untuk dipanen tahun depan. ”

Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.
Jadi mereka membawa racun dan menyebarkannya.
Dan segera kelinci mati mulai ditemukan.

Anjing memakan kelinci dan petani baru saja berkata,
“Kami akan meracuni kelinci itu sampai anjing terakhir sudah mati.”
Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.

Di langit ada unggas pemakan daging.
Kelinci yang mati meracuni elang dan burung hantu.
Ribuan tikus lapangan yang digunakan Hawks untuk mengejar
Berlipat ganda di semua tempat.

Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.
Ladang dan padang rumput tandus dan coklat.
Tikus menjadi lapar dan pindah ke kota.

Orang -orang kota mengambil nasihat petani itu
Dan mereka semua mulai meracuni tikus.
Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.

Ada tikus mati di semua apartemen dan flat.
Kucing memakan tikus dan tikus membunuh kucing.
Bau itu mengerikan dan saya senang mengatakannya
Saya bukan pria yang disewa untuk mengangkut mereka.

Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.
Di seluruh negeri dan di seluruh kota
Tidak ada anjing atau kucing yang dapat ditemukan.

Kutu bertanya satu sama lain, “Di mana kita bisa tinggal?”
Mereka telah berada di orang -orang sejak saat itu sampai hari ini.
Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan.

Semua makhluk kecil yang hidup di negeri ini
Jauhi pria dengan tangan beracun!
Beberapa jaminan jerami mungkin membuat Anda tetap hidup
Tapi dia akan membayar lebih untuk membunuhmu daripada membiarkanmu bertahan hidup.

Sekarang orang -orang menggaruk di seluruh jalan
Karena kelinci tidak punya apa -apa untuk dimakan
