Translation
Bilingual
I know what consolation means
And also sympathy
But that old word called gratitude
Has always puzzled me
A year ago a man I know
Ran up and borrowed ten
Today he said "I'll pay you when the robins nest again"
That's gratitude
That's gratitude
You lend a man your money
Maybe all you have
And every time he sees you
Now his eyesight's bad
That's gratitude
That's gratitude
Whenever you lend
You lose a friend
That's gratitude
Columbus told the court of Spain
This world was round, he knew
And so they sent him over here
Let's see, it was in 1492
They thought that he was crazy
And they said he'll surely fail
But when he brought them wealth and fame
They threw poor Chris in jail
That's gratitude
That's gratitude
They sent him out exploring
And he did right well
When he got back they put him
In a dungeon cell
But that's gratitude
That's gratitude
He won great fame
And died in chains
But that's gratitude
