OriginalTraduzione svedese / Swedish translation / Svensk översättning:...
NEARER MY JOB TO THEENÄRMARE JOBB TILL DIG
  
Nearer my job to thee,Närmare jobb till dig,
Nearer with glee,fröjd evinnerlig.
Three plunks for the office fee,Arbetsförmedlaren
But my fare is free.tog min sista spänn.
My train is running fast,Men på ett gratiståg
I've got a job at last,for jag med glättig håg,
Nearer my job to theenärmare jobb till dig,
Nearer to thee.närmare dig.
  
Arrived where my job should be,Når jag till sist kom fram
Nothing in sight I see,fanns där bara damm.
Nothing but sand, by gee,Där var ett ödeland,
Job went up a tree.inget jobb, blott sand.
No place to eat or sleep,Inte ett hus en gång,
Snakes in the sage brush creep.ormar och vindens sång.
Nero a saint would be,Nero var hederlig,
Shark, compared to thee.skurk, jämförd med dig.
  
Nearer to town! each dayNärmare stan var dag
(Hiked all the way),liftade jag.
Nearer that agency,Närmare förmedlingen
Where I paid my fee.där jag har en vän.
And when that shark I seeNär jag får se den man
You'll bet your boots that hesom snöt mig åker han
Nearer his god shall be,närmare, Gud, till dig,
Leave that to me.lita du på mig.
