Martin Lechowicz - Smutny programista

Tłumaczenie:

Why did I need ZX Spectrum?
Why did I need Amiga?
I choose the career
of an old buffer.

And I could be a plumber,
I would have plenty of customers
but my will was to
write programs in BASIC.

(Chorus:)
I program in .NET
already for the third century,
because who can understand PHP?

And I go towards my target
using SQL
under MIcrosoft Windows Vista.

And when I feel sad
I will create
a static contructor
in the editor.

Because inside my head
I have object-oriented world
me, a sad programmer.
(End of chorus)

Behind the window, birds are singing
and there is so much beauty in the world
but I cannot see anything beautiful
in writing programs in .NET.

Ah, where are those fork lifts,
where are those brooms and rugs?
I don't want to be a programmer,
I want to work with a shovel.

(Chorus)

When I see those happy grunts,
drunken as F
then I know I chose
the wrong career path.

I also want to be at the construction site,
nobody will prohibit me from drinking there.
I want to work as much,
I want to earn as much as them!
