Well, I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety-nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well, I've been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Takin' care of Ol' Red
Now, Ol' Red, he's the damnedest dog
That I've ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He's a four legged trackin' machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't nobody got past Red
And the warden sang
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
Well, I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Oh, and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be
Well, they penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just drop him off and wait
And the warden sang
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
Now, Ol' Red got real used to seein'
His lady every night
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited 'til the time got right
Well, I made my run with the evening sun
And I smiled when I heard 'em turn Red out
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south
And the warden sang
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Love got me in here and love got me out
Well, I caught my wife with another man
Beh, ho sorpreso mia moglie con un altro uomo
And it cost me ninety-nine
E mi è costato novantanove anni
On a prison farm in Georgia
In una prigione in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Vicino al confine con la Florida
Well, I've been here for two long years
Beh, sono stato qui per due anni lunghi
I finally made the warden my friend
Finalmente mi sono fatto amico il direttore della prigione
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
E quindi mi ha condannato a una vita di agio
Takin' care of Ol' Red
A prendermi cura di Ol' Red
Now, Ol' Red, he's the damnedest dog
Ora, Ol' Red, è il cane più dannato
That I've ever seen
Che abbia mai visto
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
Ha un naso che può annusare una traccia di due giorni
He's a four legged trackin' machine
È una macchina da rilevamento a quattro zampe
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
Ti puoi considerare molto fortunato
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
A superare gli alligatori e i letti di sabbie mobili
But all these years that I've been here
Ma in tutti questi anni che sono stato qui
Ain't nobody got past Red
Nessuno hai mai passato Red
And the warden sang
E il direttore della prigione cantava
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Dai su qualcuno, perché non correte?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Ol' Red non vede l'ora di divertirsi un po'
Get my lantern, get my gun
Prendi la mia lanterna, prendi la mia pistola
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
Red ti avrà intrappolato prima che arrivi il mattino
Well, I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
Beh, ho corrotto la guardia e ho spedito una lettera
To my cousin up in Tennessee
A mio cugino in Tennessee
Oh, and he brought down a blue tick hound
Oh, e ha portato un segugio blu
She was pretty as she could be
Lei era carina
Well, they penned her up in the swampland
Beh, l'hanno rinchiusa nella palude
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
Circa a un miglio a sud del cancello
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
E portavo Ol' Red per la sua corsa serale
I'd just drop him off and wait
L'avrei lasciato lì e aspettato
And the warden sang
E il direttore della prigione cantava
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Dai su qualcuno, perché non correte?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Ol' Red non vede l'ora di divertirsi un po'
Get my lantern, get my gun
Prendi la mia lanterna, prendi la mia pistola
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
Red ti avrà intrappolato prima che arrivi il mattino
Now, Ol' Red got real used to seein'
Ora, Ol' Red era abituato a vedere
His lady every night
La sua signorina tutte le notti
And so I kept him away for three or four days
E allora l'ho tenuto lontano per tre o quattro giorni
And waited 'til the time got right
E ho aspettato che arrivasse il momento giusto
Well, I made my run with the evening sun
Beh, ho fatto la mia corsa con il sole della sera
And I smiled when I heard 'em turn Red out
E ho sorriso quando li ho sentiti liberare Red
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
Perché ero diretto a nord verso il Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south
E Ol' Red era diretto a sud
And the warden sang
E il direttore della prigione cantava
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Dai su qualcuno, perché non correte?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Ol' Red non vede l'ora di divertirsi un po'
Get my lantern, get my gun
Prendi la mia lanterna, prendi la mia pistola
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
Red ti avrà intrappolato prima che arrivi il mattino
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Adesso ci sono segugi blue dai peli rossi ovunque nel Sud
Love got me in here and love got me out
L'amore mi ha fatto arrivare qui e l'amore mi ha fatto uscire
Well, I caught my wife with another man
Bem, eu peguei minha esposa com outro homem
And it cost me ninety-nine
E isso me custou noventa e nove
On a prison farm in Georgia
Em uma fazenda prisional na Geórgia
Close to the Florida line
Perto da linha da Flórida
Well, I've been here for two long years
Bem, eu estive aqui por dois longos anos
I finally made the warden my friend
Finalmente fiz do diretor meu amigo
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
E então ele me condenou a uma vida de facilidade
Takin' care of Ol' Red
Cuidando do Velho Red
Now, Ol' Red, he's the damnedest dog
Agora, o Velho Red, ele é o maldito cão
That I've ever seen
Que eu já vi
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
Tem um nariz que pode cheirar um rastro de dois dias
He's a four legged trackin' machine
Ele é uma máquina de rastreamento de quatro patas
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
Você pode se considerar muito sortudo

Para passar pelos jacarés e pelas camas de areia movediça
But all these years that I've been here
Mas todos esses anos que estive aqui
Ain't nobody got past Red
Ninguém passou pelo Red
And the warden sang
E o diretor cantou
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Vamos alguém, por que você não corre?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Velho Red está coçando para se divertir um pouco
Get my lantern, get my gun
Pegue minha lanterna, pegue minha arma
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
Red vai te encurralar antes que a manhã chegue
Well, I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
Bem, eu subornei o guarda e deslizei uma carta
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Para meu primo lá no Tennessee
Oh, and he brought down a blue tick hound
Oh, e ele trouxe um cão de caça azul
She was pretty as she could be
Ela era linda como poderia ser
Well, they penned her up in the swampland
Bem, eles a prenderam no pântano
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
Cerca de uma milha ao sul do portão
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
E eu levava o Velho Red para seu passeio noturno
I'd just drop him off and wait
Eu só o deixava e esperava
And the warden sang
E o diretor cantou
Come on somebody, why don't you run?

Now, Ol' Red got real used to seein'
Agora, o Velho Red se acostumou a ver
His lady every night
Sua dama todas as noites
And so I kept him away for three or four days
E então eu o mantive longe por três ou quatro dias
And waited 'til the time got right
E esperei até a hora certa
Well, I made my run with the evening sun
Bem, eu fiz minha corrida com o sol da noite
And I smiled when I heard 'em turn Red out
E eu sorri quando ouvi eles soltarem o Red
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
Porque eu estava indo para o norte, para o Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south
E o Velho Red estava indo para o sul
And the warden sang
E o diretor cantou

そしていいタイミングになるまで待ったんだ
Well, I made my run with the evening sun
さて、夕日とともに逃げ出したんだ
And I smiled when I heard 'em turn Red out
そして彼らがオールレッドを外に出すのを聞いて微笑んだよ
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
なぜなら俺は北に向かってテネシー州に向かっていて
And Ol' Red was headed south
オールレッドは南に向かっていたからさ
And the warden sang
そして看守は歌った
Come on somebody, why don't you run?
さあ、誰か走ってみろよ?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
オールレッドはちょっと楽しみたいんだ
Get my lantern, get my gun
ランタンを取って、銃を取って
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
朝が来る前にオールレッドに追い詰められるぞ
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South

Love got me in here and love got me out
愛が俺をここに連れてきたし、愛が俺を救ってくれたんだ
