1. As I walked out in the streets of Laredo,

   Dok sam hodao ulicama Lareda,

2. As I walked out in Laredo one day,

   Dok sam jednog dana hodao kroz Laredo,

3. I spied a poor cowboy wrapped up in white linen,

   Ugledao sam jednog siromašnog kauboja umotanog u bijelo platno,

4. Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay.

   Umotan u bijelo platno, hladno kao glina.

5. "Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly,

   Oh, udaraj bubanj polako i sviraj frulu tiho,

6. Play the Dead March as you carry me along;

   Sviraj Mrtvačku koračnicu dok me nosiš;

7. Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me,

   Odvedi me u zelenu dolinu, tamo me pokrij zemljom,

8. For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong."

   Jer sam mladi kauboj i znam da sam pogriješio.

9. "I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy,"

   "Vidim po tvojoj odjeći da si kauboj,"

10. These words he did say as I boldly stepped by.

    Te je riječi izgovorio dok sam hrabro prolazio pokraj njega.

11. "Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story;

    "Dođi, sjedni kraj mene i poslušaj moju tužnu priču;"

12. I was shot in the breast and I know I must die."

    Upucali su me u prsa i znam da moram umrijeti.

13. "Go write a letter to my gray-haired mother,

    "Idi napiši pismo mojoj sijedoj majci,"

14. And carry the same to my sister so dear;

    I odnesi isto mojoj dragoj sestri;

15. But not a word of this shall you mention

    Ali ni riječ o ovome nećeš spomenuti

16. When a crowd gathers round you my story to hear."

    Kad se oko tebe okupi mnoštvo da čuje moju priču.

17. "It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing,

    "Bilo je vrijeme kad sam jahao s energijom u sedlu,"

18. It was once in the saddle I used to go gay;

    Nekad sam jahao veselo;

19. First to the dram-house, then to the card-house,

    Prvo u krčmu, zatim u kockarnicu,

20. Got shot in the breast, I am dying today."

    Upucali su me u prsa, umirem danas.

21. "Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin;

    "Nađi šest veselih kauboja da nose moj lijes;

22. Get six pretty maidens to bear up my pall.

    Nabavi šest lijepih djevojaka da nose moj pogrebni pokrov.

23. Put bunches of roses all over my coffin,

    Stavi bukete ruža po cijelom mom lijesu,

24. Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall."

    Stavi ruže da ublaže grude kad padnu.

25. We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly,

    Polako smo udarali bubanj i tiho svirali frulu.

26. And bitterly wept as we bore him along;

    I gorko plakali dok smo ga nosili;

27. For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome,

    Jer svi smo voljeli našeg druga, tako hrabrog, mladog i zgodnog,

28. We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong.

    Svi smo voljeli našeg druga iako je pogriješio.
