Well, Johnny come in last night.
Nah, Johnny datang semalam.
Man he was an awful sight.
Bisa dibilang dia terlihat sangat berantakan.
The Bartender said, "Hey Johnny!
Bartender bilang, "Eh Johnny!
There'll be no band tonight."
Malam ini nggak ada band yang main."
"The piano-man's drunk,
"Pianisnya mabuk,
He been down in the dumps.
Dia lagi dalam suasana hati yang buruk.
The drummer's in bed,
Dramernya masih di kasur,
He got a pain in his head.
Dia lagi pusing.
No Johnny,
Nggak ada, Johnny,
There'll be no band tonight."
Malam ini nggak ada band yang main."

The clock was stickin' close to ten
Jam hampir menunjukkan pukul sepuluh
The mailman came runnin' in.
Posmen datang berlari.
He said, "Any-body here named Johnny?
Dia bilang, "Ada nggak yang namanya Johnny?
I got a Special deliv'ry for him."
Aku bawa kiriman spesial buat dia."
"It's from a woman he knows,
"Ini dari seorang wanita yang dia kenal,
It's from his Bayou Rose,
Dari Bayou Rose-nya,
The girl of his dreams
Gadis impiannya
wants a wedding ring"
ingin cincin pernikahan."
........Love Rosie
........Cinta Rosie
"I've got a letter for him".
"Aku bawa surat buat dia."

Well Johnny jumped up from his beer
Nah, Johnny langsung berdiri dari birnya
Told the mailman, "Yes I'm here"
Dia bilang ke posmen, "Iya, saya di sini."
An' then he read it out loud to the bar room crowd
Lalu dia baca keras-keras untuk semua yang ada di bar
But before they had a chance to cheer
Tapi sebelum mereka sempat bersorak
He said "Call up the band
Dia bilang, "Telepon bandnya
I'm a happy man
Aku orang bahagia
I want them to play
Aku mau mereka main
On my wedding day"
Di hari pernikahanku."
When he told them,
Ketika dia bilang begitu,
They had a chance to cheer.
Mereka semua bersorak.

The piano-man came even though it was rainin'
Pianisnya datang meski hujan turun
The drummer was drummn' just like an insane man.
Dramernya main seperti orang gila.
They tore off the roof they knocked down the doors
Mereka merobohkan atap dan membongkar pintu
And Johnny an' his bride drove away in her Ford
Dan Johnny serta pengantinnya pergi dengan Ford-nya
Slappin' the dash to the beat of the band
Menepuk dasbor mengikuti irama band
Draggin' behind them a string of tin cans
Menarik deretan kaleng di belakang mereka
And they ain't been back yet but I know when they do
Dan mereka belum kembali, tapi aku tahu saat mereka kembali
Johnny's gonna play some of the sweetest blues
Johnny akan memainkan blues terindah.
