When Johnny Comes Marching Home
(Когда Джонни вернется домой)

by Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

The old church bells will peal with joy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all feel gay
Whn Johnny comes marching home.

Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Their choicest treasures then display,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
And let each one perform some part
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Джонни примаршировал домой.
Мы крикнули ему «ура!»
Мужчины поздравляли,
Дети верещали, дамы целовали.

Колокол церковный радостно забил
Дорогому мальчику «здравствуй» говорит.
Девочки и парни
Букеты роз вручали.
Счастливы все были,
Все ликовали.

Светлый праздник настал,
Грянем героям «ура!»
Возложим на голову
Лавровый венок.
Наш любимчик Джонни
Вернулся домой.

Пусть сегодня воцарятся
Дружба и любовь.
Каждому по подарку
Земляку готовь.
Пусть веселье нарастает,
Сердце воина оттает.
Наконец-то бравый Джонни
Примаршировал домой.

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Oh the men will cheer and the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Oh Johnny we say you've been away,
Too long, too long!
We welcome a hero home today,
With heart and song.
And every one in the town will cheer,
To show we're happy to have you here,
'Cause we'll feel that way,
When Johnny comes marching home.

The old church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Get ready to have a jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Get ready with heart so light and free,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
A laurel wreath we have ready now,
To put in place on his loyal brow,
And we'll give three cheers,
When Johnny comes marching home.

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
A girlie will meet her man of men,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
That sweet young lady will head the crowd,
The first to kiss you and say she's proud
of the man she loves,
When Johnny comes marching home.

In eighteen hundred and sixty-one,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
That was when the war begun,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
In eighteen hudnred and sixty-two,
Both sides were falling to,
And we'll all drink stone wine
When Johnny comes marching home.

In eighteen hundred and sixty-three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Abe Lincoln set the darkies free,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
In eighteen hundred and sixty-three,
Old Abe set the darkies free,
And we'll all drink stone wine
When Johnny comes marching home.

In eighteen hundred and sixty-four,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Abe called the five hundred thousand more,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
In eighteen hundred and sixty-five,
They talked rebellion, strife;
And we'll all drink stone wine
When Johnny comes marching home.
