Waltzing Matilda Lyrics with translation:

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?" Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?" Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me". Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me". Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers, one, two, three, "Where's that jolly jumbuck that you've got in your tucker bag?" "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me". Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" "Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?", "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me". Up jumped the swagman, leapt into the billabong, "You'll never catch me alive," said he, And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me". Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"

"Una vez un alegre vagabundo acampó junto a un remanso del río, Bajo la sombra de un eucalipto, Y cantaba mientras miraba y esperaba que su tetera hirviera. "¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?" A vagabundear, a vagabundear ¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo? Y cantaba mientras miraba y esperaba que su tetera hirviera "¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?" Y así llegó una oveja a beber de la laguna, Saltó hasta ella y la agarró con alegría, Y cantaba mientras escondía la oveja en su alforja, "Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo". A vagabundear, a vagabundear "Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo" Y cantaba mientras escondía la oveja en su alforja, "Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo". Cabalgó el colono, montado en su pura sangre, Y así llegaron los soldados, uno, dos, tres, "¿Dónde está la alegre oveja que usted tiene en su alforja?" "Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo". A vagabundear, a vagabundear "Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo". "¿Dónde está la alegre oveja que usted tiene en su alforja?" "Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo". Brincó el vagabundo, saltando hacia el río, "Nunca me capturaréis vivo", gritó él, Y su fantasma puede ser oído al pasar por la laguna, "¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?" A vagabundear, a vagabundear "¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?" Y su fantasma puede ser oído al pasar por el río, "¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?"
