Saat aku keluar suatu pagi
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's,
Untuk menghirup udara di sekitar tubuh Tom Paine,
I spied the fairest damsel
Aku melihat gadis paling cantik itu
That ever did walk in chains.
Yang pernah berjalan di rantai.
I offer'd her my hand,
Aku menawarinya tanganku,
She took me by the arm.
Dia memegang lenganku.
I knew that very instant,
Aku tahu itu sangat instan,
She meant to do me harm.
Dia bermaksud menyakitiku.
“Depart from me this moment,”
“Berangkat dari saya saat ini,”
I told her with my voice.
Aku memberitahunya dengan suaraku.
Said she, “But I don't wish to,”
Katanya, “Tapi aku tidak mau,”
Said I, “But you have no choice.”
Kata saya, “Tapi Anda tidak punya pilihan.”
“I beg you, sir,” she pleaded
“Saya mohon, Sir,” dia memohon
From the corners of her mouth,
Dari sudut mulutnya,
“I will secretly accept you
“Saya diam-diam akan menerima Anda
And together we'll fly south.”
Dan bersama kita akan terbang ke selatan. “
Just then Tom Paine, himself,
Saat itulah Tom Paine, dirinya sendiri,
Came running from across the field,
Datang berlari dari seberang lapangan,
Shouting at this lovely girl
Teriak pada gadis cantik ini
And commanding her to yield.
Dan memerintahkannya untuk menyerah.
And as she was letting go her grip,
Dan saat dia melepaskan cengkeramannya,
Up Tom Paine did run,
Sampai Tom Paine berlari,
“I'm sorry, sir,” he said to me,
“Saya minta maaf, Sir,” katanya pada saya,
“I'm sorry for what she's done.”
“Maaf atas apa yang telah dia lakukan.”
