I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
My dad was a poor, hard-working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home with too little pay
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand
Now I'm up here in Alaska, looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan
I said, "Honey I'm coming home please wait for me
And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man"
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history
Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan
He gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said, "Son you wise young ambitious man
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim"
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground
The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found
It serves him right and no one here is missing him
Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
Sono nato a Saginaw, Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
Sono cresciuto in una casa sulla baia di Saginaw
My dad was a poor, hard-working Saginaw fisherman
Mio padre era un povero, laborioso pescatore di Saginaw
Too many times he came home with too little pay
Troppe volte è tornato a casa con troppo poco stipendio
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
Amavo una ragazza a Saginaw, Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
La figlia di un uomo molto, molto ricco
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
Ma mi chiamava il figlio di un pescatore di Saginaw
And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand
E non abbastanza buono per chiedere la mano di sua figlia
Now I'm up here in Alaska, looking around for gold
Ora sono qui in Alaska, in cerca d'oro
Like a crazy fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold
Come un pazzo sto scavando in questo terreno gelato così freddo
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
Ma con ogni nuovo giorno prego di diventare ricco e poi
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
Tornerò a casa e rivendicherò il mio amore a Saginaw, Michigan
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan
Scrissi al mio amore a Saginaw, Michigan
I said, "Honey I'm coming home please wait for me
Dissi, "Tesoro, sto tornando a casa, per favore aspettami
And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man"
E puoi dire a tuo padre che tornerò più ricco di prima"
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history
Feci il colpo più grande nella storia del Klondike
Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan
Incontrai suo padre a Saginaw, Michigan
He gave me a great big party with champagne
Mi fece una grande festa con champagne
Then he said, "Son you wise young ambitious man
Poi disse, "Figliolo, sei un giovane ambizioso saggio
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim"
Venderai a tuo suocero la tua concessione del Klondike"
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground
Ora lui è lassù in Alaska a scavare nel freddo, freddo terreno
The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found
Il folle avido è in cerca dell'oro che non ho mai trovato
It serves him right and no one here is missing him
Gli sta bene e nessuno qui lo rimpiange
Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan
Men che meno i novelli sposi di Saginaw, Michigan
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan
Siamo marito e moglie più felici di Saginaw, Michigan
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan
Ha vergogna di mostrare il suo volto a Saginaw, Michigan
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
僕はミシガン州サギノーで生まれました
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
僕はサギノー湾の家で育ちました
My dad was a poor, hard-working Saginaw fisherman
僕の父は貧しく、一生懸命働くサギノーの漁師でした
Too many times he came home with too little pay
少なすぎる給料で彼が帰宅したことがたくさんあった
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
僕はミシガン州サギノーの女の子を愛していた
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
彼女は裕福な、裕福な男の娘でした
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
しかし、彼は僕をサギノーの漁師の息子と呼んで
And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand
そして、彼の娘の手を主張するには十分ではないと言ったんだ
Now I'm up here in Alaska, looking around for gold
今、僕はアラスカで金を探してる
Like a crazy fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold
まるで狂った愚か者のように、この凍った地面を掘ってる
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
しかし、新しい日が来るたびに、僕は金持ちになることを祈る
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
そして、僕はミシガン州サギノーで僕の愛を主張するために家に帰る
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan
僕はミシガン州サギノーで僕の濃い人に手紙を書いた
I said, "Honey I'm coming home please wait for me
僕はハニー、僕は帰宅するから待っててと言った
And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man"
そして、君のお父さんには僕がもっと裕福な男として戻ってくると伝えられるよと
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history
僕はクロンダイク史上最大のストライクを打ったんだ
Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan
彼女の父親はミシガン州サギノーで僕に会った
He gave me a great big party with champagne
彼は僕に大きなパーティーを開き、シャンパンを振る舞ったんだ
Then he said, "Son you wise young ambitious man
そして彼は言ったんだ、君、君は賢くて野心的な若者だ
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim"
君は義父にクロンダイクの主張を売るつもりかいと
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground
今、彼はアラスカで寒い、寒い地面を掘ってる
The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found
貪欲な愚か者は、僕が見つけられなかった金を探してる
It serves him right and no one here is missing him
それは彼にとって当然の報いで、ここにいる誰も彼を恋しく思ってない
Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan
最もそう思っているのは、ミシガン州サギノーの新婚夫婦さ
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan
僕たちはミシガン州サギノーで最も幸せな夫婦です
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan
彼はミシガン州サギノーで顔を見せることを恥ずかしく思ってる
