Polish term or phrase: Wsiąść do pociągu byle jakiego...
Szukam jakiegoś cytatu po angielsku (niekoniecznie piosenki), który pasowałby w takim kontekście(przewodnik po tajlandii):



"FAQ

Tajlandia - Pytania i Odpowiedzi

„Wsiąść do pociągu byle jakiego, nie dbać o bagaż, nie dbać o bilet...” – choć słowa tej piosenki brzmią niezwykle kusząco, mało kto pozwala sobie na taką beztroskę wybierając się w podróż.

Pakowaniu, rezerwowaniu biletów, obmyślaniu trasy i wydatków towarzyszy zwykle wiele pytań. Poniżej prezentujemy listę tych najczęściej pojawiających się w związku z podróżą do Tajlandii.

Zapoznajmy się z nimi, aby jak najlepiej przygotować się do podróży, uniknąć jakichkolwiek przykrych niespodzianek i wszelkich sytuacji konfliktowych."

Z góry dziękuję za propozycje

English translation:don't need no baggage, you just get on board...
Explanation:
From: People Get Ready
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQqTxK7VhSk

So people get ready, there's a train a-comin'
don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels a-hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

or from the Beatles: Ticket to Ride


She's got a ticket to ride,
But (/And) she don't care.

i dalej np.: how nice it would be not having to care about tickets, packing etc when planning your holidays

pierwsza piosenka ma oczywiscie podtekst religijny, ale myślę, że można to jakoś połączyć z resztą, np: ... however when planning your holidays faith is hardly enough... etc.

Explanation:
I feel the "don't need no baggage" is a little too informal, especially if it's to be found in a travel book or brochure. It might also be difficult to incorporate it into a coherent sentence at the beginning.

Example sentence(s):
  • Getting on any old train, free of baggage and free of stress may seem like a great idea, but...
