TRANSLATION: THE MIRACLE OF THE BURD AND THE FISHES

Oh, son
Just keep your chin up
It's no good going around like a half-shut knife (looking miserable)
And all just because of a woman
Love her, do you?
Oh well
Give it a little while, son
There are a lot more fish in the sea

TRANSLATION: GOOD STYLE

It's hard to read these, isn't it?
Still,
If you can't understand them just clear off then
Go on
Get the hell out of my way
I am as good as the lot of you, so I am
I know what I'm doing
I'm telling you
Just try any of your clever talk with me
(I'll) stick the boot into you, good style
So I will
