Tekst piosenki
Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep
Turn, turn, turn again
Say, one of your friends is in trouble deep
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Tell me the trouble, tell me once to my ear
Turn, turn, turn again
Joliet prison and ninety-nine years
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Oh, what’s the charge of how this came to be?
Turn, turn, turn again
Manslaughter in the highest degree
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
I sat down and wrote the best words I could write
Turn, turn, turn again
Explaining to the judge I’d be there on Wednesday night
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Without a reply, I left by the moon
Turn, turn, turn again
And was in his chambers by the next afternoon
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Would you tell me the facts, I said without fear
Turn, turn, turn again
That a friend of mine could get ninety-nine years
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
A crash on the highway, flew the car to a field
Turn, turn, turn again
There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
But I knew him as good as I’m knowing myself
Turn, turn, turn again
And he wouldn’t harm a life that belonged to someone else
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
The judge he spoke out of the side of his mouth
Turn, turn, turn again
Saying ``The witness who saw, he left without doubt''
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
That may be true, he’s got a sentence to serve
Turn, turn, turn again
But ninety-nine years he just don’t deserve
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Too late, too late, for his case it is sealed
Turn, turn, turn again
His sentence it is passed and cannot be repealed
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
But he ain’t no criminal and his crime it is none
Turn, turn, turn again
What happened to him could happen to anyone
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
At that the judge jerked forward and his face it did freeze
Turn, turn, turn again
Saying, ``Could you kindly leave my office now please?''
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
His eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow
Turn, turn, turn again
With no other choice except for to go Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam
Turn, turn, turn again
I walked down the courthouse stairs and did not understand
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
And I played my guitar through the night to the day
Turn, turn, turn again
And the only tune my guitar could play
Was ``The Old Cruel Rain And The Wind''
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Zła wiadomość, zła wiadomość, przyjdź do mnie, gdzie śpię
Turn, turn, turn again
Jeden z twoich przyjaciół ma poważne kłopoty.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Powiedz mi o kłopocie, powiedz mi raz do ucha
Turn, turn, turn again
Więzienie w Joliet i 99 lat
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Jak do tego doszło?
Turn, turn, turn again
Zabójstwo w najwyższym stopniu
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Usiadłem i napisałem najlepsze słowa, jakie mogłem napisać.
Turn, turn, turn again
Wyjaśniając sędziemu, że będę tam w środę wieczorem.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind

Turn, turn, turn again
I był w jego komnatach następnego popołudnia.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Czy możesz mi powiedzieć fakty, powiedziałem bez strachu
Turn, turn, turn again
Że mój przyjaciel może dostać 99 lat.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Wypadek na autostradzie, poleciał samochodem na pole
Turn, turn, turn again
Zginęły cztery osoby, a on siedział za kierownicą.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Ale znałam go tak dobrze, jak sama siebie.
Turn, turn, turn again
I nie skrzywdziłby życia, które należało do kogoś innego.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Sędzia, który mówił bokiem ust
Turn, turn, turn again
"Świadek, który widział, wyszedł bez wątpienia"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
To może być prawda, ma wyrok do odsiedzenia.
Turn, turn, turn again
Ale 99 lat nie zasługuje na to.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Za późno, za późno, dla niego sprawa jest zamknięta.
Turn, turn, turn again
Jego wyrok został wydany i nie może być uchylony.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Ale on nie jest przestępcą i jego zbrodnią nie jest.
Turn, turn, turn again
To, co mu się przytrafiło, może przytrafić się każdemu.
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Sędzia szarpnął do przodu, a jego twarz zamarzła.
Turn, turn, turn again
"Czy mógłby Pan teraz wyjść z mojego biura?''
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
Jego oczy wyglądały śmiesznie, a ja wstałam tak wolno.
Turn, turn, turn again
/ Align = "left" /
Szłam korytarzem i usłyszałam trzask jego drzwi.
Turn, turn, turn again
Zeszłam po schodach sądu i nie zrozumiałam
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind
And I played my guitar through the night to the day
Turn, turn, turn again
I jedyną melodię, jaką potrafiła zagrać Moja gitara
Był "Stary Okrutny Deszcz I Wiatr"
