Hello, my name is Roy,
En ik zing voor jou een cowboysong.
Ja, mijn naam is Harms, en ik zeg: mooi,
Maar waar kom jij vandaan, mien jong?

Ik kom from Texas, America,
Nou, da’s fijn want ik kom uut Olde Pekela.
Let ons live in peace,
Nou, dat liekt mie wel wat vies
A little later, dan giet ‘t al wat beter

Refrein:
America en Olde Pekela
It’s oke, o nee, o yes, o ja
Let us live in peace
Nou, dat liekt mie wel wat vies
A little later, dan giet ‘t al wat beter

Bij ons in Texas, ik zing in de saloon,
Nou, daarveur heb ik gin tied,
Ik heb wel anders iets te doen.
Meestal zing ik ‘Ol’ MacDonald had a farm’,
Ja, dat liedje, dat geet zo: “Hia hia ho”.

Ik zing whole day en sometimes whole night.
Maar bie ons, in Olde Pekela, dat ken dat zo maar naait.
But ik ben Roy de cowboy en ik sing country hits.
‘t Kan me niet schelen wie je bent, voor mijn part heet je Frits.

[Refrein]

I like to live, life is beautiful
Ja, ‘t leven is wel goed, maar de rest is flauwekul
I am so blaai, o yes, I am happy
Nou, dat is dan ook toevallig
Want, hij daar, heet ook Eppie.

Ik heb twee zoons, and I love them, those kids.
Ja, ik heb d’r ook wat lopen, ons Alie en ons Frits.
‘k Weet niet wat jij bedoelt, I do not understand.
Ach, die kerel is zo dom, as mien koe zien achterend.

[Refrein]

A little later, dan giet ‘t al wat beter.
A little later, dan giet ‘t al wat beter.

Hello, my name is Roy,
And I’ll sing for you a cowboy song.
Yes, my name is Harms, and I say: beautiful,
But where do you come from, my boy?

I’m from Texas, America,
Well, that’s nice because I’m coming from Olde Pekela.
Let us live in peace,
Well, that looks a little dirty to me,
A little later, that’ll be better.

Chorus:
America and Olde Pekela
It’s okay, oh no, oh yes, oh yes
Let us live in peace
Well, that looks a little dirty to me,
A little later, that’ll be better.

Here in Texas, I sing in the saloon.
Well, I ain’t got time for that,
I got something else to do.
Usually I sing ‘Ol’ MacDonald had a farm’,
Yes, that song, it goes like this: “E-I-E-I-O”.

I sing whole day and sometimes whole night.
But we, in Olde Pekela, can’t do that just like that,
But I’m Roy the cowboy and I sing country hits.
I don’t care who you are, for all I care your name is Frits.

[Chorus]

I like to live, life is beautiful.
Yes, life is good, but the rest is nonsense.
I am so blaai, o yes, I am happy .Well, that’s a coincidence,
Because, he there, is also called Eppie.

I have two sons, and I love them, those kids.
Yes, I have some running there too, our Alie and our Frits.
I don’t know what you mean, I do not understand.
Ah, that guy is as dumb as my cow’s behind

[Chorus]

A little later, that’ll be better.
A little later, that’ll be better.
