Translation
Bilingual
This mule ain't from Moscow
This mule ain't from the South
This mule's had some learnin'
Mostly mouth to mouth
In some ways this mule could be called
Stubborn and lazy
But in a clever sort of way
This mule could be workin', waitin', plannin'
The sacred kind of day
Day when burnin' sticks and crosses
Are not mere child's play
But a madman's most incandescent gloom
So stand fast, young mule
Soothing contemplation
By making home and burning fire
Though steadiness is of the limit
And cruel anxiety has begun to die
Stand fast, young mule
Stand fast
Tell you the reason why, yeah
I said I ain't gonna do
What you want me to
I ain't ever gonna see
So just leave me be
I really must confess
I don't dig this stress
You don't like my mess
Well, that's my business
Tell you the reason why
ย
Tell you the reason why
ย
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody, they ain't gonna tell me, no
Tell you the reason why
ย
No matter where I go
I cut against the flow
I wanna have you know
I ain't no sideshow
I may look real dense
But I got plenty sense
So I ain't gonna do
What you want me to
No, I ain't gonna do
What you want me to
ย
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody, they ain't gonna tell me, no
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody, they ain't gonna tell me, no
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody, they ain't gonna tell me, no
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody gonna tell me
Nobody, they ain't gonna tell me, no
