Lyrics & Translation
English
When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him Jim
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old Shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
There's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home

And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray

But old Shep was right there

Cuando yo era un muchacho
Y el viejo Shep era un cachorro
Por colinas y prados vagábamos
Solo un niño y su perro
Ambos estábamos llenos de diversión
Crecimos juntos de esa manera
Recuerdo el momento en el viejo pozo de natación
Cuando me habría ahogado sin duda
Pero el viejo Shep estaba allí
Al rescate él vino
Saltó y luego me sacó
Mientras los años rápido pasaban
El viejo Shep envejeció
Sus ojos se estaban apagando rápidamente
Y un día el doctor me miró y dijo
No puedo hacer más por él, Jim
Con manos que temblaban
Tomé mi arma
Y apunté a la fiel cabeza de Shep
Simplemente no pude hacerlo
Quise correr
Deseé que me dispararan a mí en su lugar
Él vino a mi lado
Y me miró
Y apoyó su vieja cabeza en mi rodilla
Había golpeado al mejor amigo que un hombre jamás tuvo
Lloré tanto que apenas podía ver
El viejo Shep se ha ido
Donde van los perritos buenos
Y ya no más con el viejo Shep vagaré
Pero si los perros tienen un cielo
Hay una cosa que sé
El viejo Shep tiene un hogar maravilloso
