Tekst piosenki
They passed an ordinance in the town
They said we’d have to tear it down
That little old shack out back
So dear to me
Though the health department said
It’s day was over and dead
It will stand forever in my memory
Don’t let 'em tear that
Little brown building down
Don’t let 'em tear that
Precious building down
Don’t let 'em tear that
Little brown building down
For there’s not another like it
In the country or the town
It was not so long ago that
I went tripping through the snow
Out to that house behind
My old hound dog
Where I’d sit me down to rest
Like a snowbird on his nest
And read the Sears and Roebuck catalog
I would hum a happy tune
Peeping through the quarter moon
As my daddy’s kin had done before
It was in that quiet spot
Daily cares could be forgot
It gave the same relief
To rich and poor
Don’t let 'em tear that
Little brown building down
Don’t let 'em tear that
Precious building down
Don’t let 'em tear that
Little brown building down
For there’s not another like it
In the country or the town
Now it was not a castle fair
But I could dream my future there
And build my castles to
The yellow jacket’s drone
I could orbit around the sun
Fight with General Washington
Or be a King upon a golden throne
It wasn’t fancy built at all
It had newspapers on the wall
It was air conditioned
In the wintertime
It was just a humble hut
But it’s door was never shut
And a man could get inside
Without a dime
Don’t let 'em tear that
Little brown building down
Don’t let 'em tear that
Precious building down
Don’t let 'em tear that
Little brown building down
For there’s not another like it
In the country or the town
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
W mieście uchwalono ordynację.
Powiedzieli, że musimy go zburzyć.
Ta mała Stara Chata z tyłu
So dear to me
Chociaż Departament Zdrowia powiedział
Dzień się skończył i umarł.
Pozostanie na zawsze w mojej pamięci.
Don 't let' em tear that
Little brown building down
Don 't let' em tear that
Precious building down
Don 't let' em tear that
Little brown building down
Bo nie ma drugiego takiego
Na wsi lub w mieście
Nie tak dawno temu
I went tripping through the snow
Do tamtego domu.
My old hound dog
Gdzie usiądę, by odpocząć
Like a snowbird on his nest
I przeczytaj katalog Searsa i Roebucka.
Nuciłbym szczęśliwą melodię
Peeping through the quarter moon
Tak jak wcześniej zrobił to krewny mojego ojca.
To było w tym cichym miejscu.
Codzienna troska może być zapomniana
/ Align = "left" /
Za bogatych i biednych
Don 't let' em tear that
Little brown building down
Don 't let' em tear that
Precious building down
Don 't let' em tear that
Little brown building down
Bo nie ma drugiego takiego
Na wsi lub w mieście
Teraz to nie był jarmark Zamkowy.
Ale mógłbym śnić o mojej przyszłości tam
And build my castles to
Dron żółtej kurtki
Mógłbym okrążać słońce
Bitwa z generałem Washingtonem
Albo być królem na złotym tronie
Wcale nie był wymyślny.
Na ścianie były gazety.
Był klimatyzowany.
In the wintertime
To była tylko skromna Chata.
Ale drzwi nigdy nie były zamknięte.
I człowiek mógłby dostać się do środka.
Bez grosza
Don 't let' em tear that
Little brown building down
Don 't let' em tear that
Precious building down
Don 't let' em tear that
Little brown building down
Bo nie ma drugiego takiego
Na wsi lub w mieście
