Translation :-
Come here my brother
Have you notticed
That fellow has dumped his refuge ,behind that wall
Some people just do not think

What a thing for someone to do
My children play on this road
I am going to tell him what I think of him
Leaving his bloody rubish behind indeed

I beg your pardon Jerry
You say he works for the council
And he is going to repair the pavement
Well it is about time they did some work

Thanks for telling me brother
I do not know what I might have done
Possibly knock him out , Jerry
And I never go back on what I say
