[Translation to English]
|
They say a man's best friend is his horse
|
But I say it is his gun
|
For what can a horseman do without a gun?
|
I sold my silver barrelled gun
|
And bought a brocade gown for my beloved
|
But she could not accept it
|
She returned it
|
Now I have no gun and no love
|
|
No, but with wet lashes and a charming smile
|
I could tell her heartache was more terrible than mine
|
I could stand the heartache
|
If I could see you again
|
Until then, I am alone, city to city
|
Walking the streets
|
With a heavy heart.
