surabaya johnny

• bertolt brecht şiiri, ingilizce çevirisi şu şekildedir:
  
  ı was only a child when ı met you.
  you came from the burma lagoon.
  you said, "would you like a bit of travel?"
  you promised me all but the moon.
  ı asked you what you did for a living.
  and you swore, god's my witness, to me.
  that you worked for the railroad people,
  and would never ever follow the sea.
  
  you said a lot, johnny.
  not a word was true, johnny.
  you betrayed me, johnny
  the moment we met.
  ı hate your guts johnny.
  don't stand there grinning
  take that cigarette out of your mouth, you pig.
  
  [chorus]
  surabaya johnny,
  why did you treat me so wrong?
  surabaya, johnny,
  my god, and ı do love you so.
  surabaya, johnny,
  why am ı feeling so low?
  you have no heart, johnny.
  and ı do love you so.
  
  at first, it was always sunday,
  as long as ı pleased you at night.
  but only a few weeks later,
  not a thing ı did was right.
  up and down we tramped through the punjab,
  the river along to the sea.
  but now when ı look in the mirror,
  there's a broken face that ı see.
  
  you wanted no love, johnny.
  you wanted the loot, johnny.
  but your lips, johnny,
  ı could never forget.
  you asked for everything, johnny,
  ı gave you more, johnny.
  take that cigarette out of your mouth, you shit
  
  surabaya, johnny.
  why did treat me so bad?
  surabaya, johnny,
  my god, and ı love you so.
  surabaya, johnny.
  why am ı feeling so low?
  you have no heart, johnny,
  and ı do love you so.
  
  ı wish ı had paid more attention
  to that nickname of yours and the rest.
  all along that bloody awful coastline,
  you have been a notorious guest.
  ın a sixpence-a-night bed one morning,
  ı will wake to the thunder of the sea.
  and your ship will be leaving the harbor,
  and you won't even wave to me.
  
  you have no heart, johnny!
  you're a bastard, johnny!
  why did you leave me?
  can you tell me that?
  ı love you more, johnny,
  than the first night, johnny.
  take that fucking cigarette out of your mouth, you shit.
