Aş vrea să dedic următorul cântec lui Carmelo,

who was put to sleep a couple of days ago, because he got too old.

care a fost eutanasiat acum două zile pentru că era prea bătrân.
00:26
But apparently he was a very nice dog

2000
Dar se pare că a fost un câine foarte drăguţ
00:28
and he always let the cat sleep in the dog bed.

şi lăsa mereu pisica să doarmă în patul său.
00:35
♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Gâfâit de câine) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫
00:39
♫ I'm just a'walking my dog, singing my song, strolling along. ♫

21000
6000
♫ Îmi plimb câinele, cântându-mi cântecul, hoinărind. ♫
00:45
♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, catching some sun. We can't go wrong. ♫
6
27000
8000
♫ Dap, sunt doar eu cu câinele meu, prinzând puţin soare, nu putem greşi. ♫
00:53
♫ My life was lonely and blue. ♫
7
35000
2000
♫ Viaţa mea era singuratică şi tristă ♫
00:56
♫ Yeah, I was sad as a sailor, ♫
8
38000
3000
♫ Dap, eram tristă ca un marinar, ♫
01:00
♫ I was an angry 'un too. ♫
9
42000
3000
♫ Eram şi supărată. ♫
01:03
♫ Then there was you -- appeared when I was entangled with youth and fear, ♫
10
45000
7000
♫ Apoi ai venit tu -- ai apărut când eram prinsă în tinereţe şi frică ♫
01:10
♫ and nerves jingle jangled, vermouth and beer were getting me mangled up. ♫
11
52000
6000
♫ şi cu nervi agitaţi, vermutul şi berea mă distrugeau. ♫
01:16
♫ But then I looked in your eyes ♫
12
58000
2000
♫ Dar apoi m-am uitat în ochii tăi ♫
01:19
♫ and I was no more a failure. ♫
13
61000
3000
♫ şi n-am mai fost o ratare. ♫
01:22
♫ You looked so wacky and wise. ♫
14
64000
3000
♫ Arătai atât de trăznit şi înţelept. ♫
01:26
♫ And I said, "Lord, I'm happy, 'cause I'm just a'walking my dog, ♫
15
68000
5000
♫ Şi am spus, "Doamne, sunt fericită, doar pentru că-mi plimb câinele, ♫
01:31
♫ catching some sun. We can't go wrong." ♫
16
73000
4000
♫ prinzând puţin soare, nu putem greşi." ♫
01:35
♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, singing our song, strolling along. ♫
17
77000
6000
♫ Dap, sunt doar eu şi câinele meu, cântându-ne cântecul, hoinărind. ♫
01:41
♫ 'Cause I don't care about your hating and your doubt, ♫
18
83000
3000
♫ Pentru că nu-mi pasă de ura şi îndoiala ta, ♫
01:44
♫ and I don't care what the politicians spout. ♫
19
86000
4000
♫ şi nu-mi pasă ce recită politicienii. ♫
01:48
♫ If you need a companion, why, just go out to the pound, ♫
20
90000
3000
♫ Dacă ai nevoie de-un tovaraş, de ce, doar mergi la adăpost ♫
01:51
♫ and find yourself a hound, and make that doggie proud, ♫
21
93000
3000
♫ ia-ţi un câine şi fă acel câine mândru, ♫
01:54
♫ 'cause that's what it's all about. ♫
22
96000
3000
♫ pentru că despre asta e vorba. ♫
02:01

23
103000
3000
♫ (Gâfâit de câine) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫
02:04
♫ My life was tragic and sad. ♫
24
106000
4000
♫ Viaţa mea era tragică şi tristă, ♫
02:08
♫ I was the archetypal loser. ♫
25
110000
3000
♫ eram ratatul arhetipal, ♫
02:11
♫ I was a pageant gone bad. ♫
26
113000
4000
♫ eram un spectacol nereuşit, ♫
02:15
♫ And then there was you -- on time, and wagging your tail ♫
27
117000
5000
♫ şi apoi ai venit tu, la timp, şi dând din coadă ♫
02:20
♫ in the cutest mime that you was in jail. ♫
28
122000
3000
♫ în cea mai drăguţă mimă că erai în închisoare. ♫
02:23
♫ I said, "Woof, be mine!" and you gave a wail and then ♫
29
125000
5000
♫ Am spus, "Ham, fii al meu!" şi ai gemut şi apoi ♫
02:29
♫ I was no longer alone. ♫
30
131000
2000
♫ n-am mai fost singură. ♫
02:31
♫ And I was no more a boozer. ♫
31
133000
2000
♫ Şi n-am mai fost un chefliu. ♫
02:34
♫ We'll make the happiest home. ♫

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Nellie McKay - Singer/songwriterNellie McKay sings, croons, raps, grooves and -- barks? -- to glowing critical acclaim.
Why you should listen
Playful, quirky, hilarious, endearing: not attributes of your typical political agitator. But singer-songwriter-producer-activist Nellie McKay merits the description. Her music is whimsical, colorful, catchy and as engaging as it is restless. Toying with antique genres and yet undeniably contemporary, it flirts with multiple styles of delivery while maintaining a sharp social conscience.
For these and other eccentricities, McKay has gained a devoted fan following. On stage and off, she's an outspoken advocate of animal rights, a friend and ally to any arch political quip and -- lucky for us -- artistically uncompromising. After cutting two major-label records, her own indie label, Hungry Mouse, produced her latest, Obligatory Villagers.
