The Birth of the Blues

Оригинал: Bing Crosby

Рождение блюза

Перевод: Никита Дружинин

Oh! they say some people long ago

О, говорят, были люди, которые

Were searching for a diff'rent tune

Давно искали новую мелодию,

One that they could croon

Под которую они могли бы петь,

As only they can

Как могут только они.

They only had the rhythm so

У них был только ритм, поэтому

They started swaying to and fro

Они начали раскачиваться туда-сюда.

They didn't know just what they had

Они не поняли, что у них получились,

And that is how the blues really began

Но именно так и родился блюз.

They heard the breeze in the trees

Они слышали, как ветер в кронах

Singing weird melodies

Напевал странные мелодии,

And they made that

И так они заложили

The start of the blues

Начало блюза.

And from a jail came the wail

Из тюрьмы донёсся вопль

Of a down hearted frail

Упавшей духом женщины,

And they played that

И они сделали его

As part of the blues.

Частью блюза.

From a whippoorwill out on a hill

От козодоя на холме

They took a new note

Они взяли новую ноту,

Pushed it through a horn

Пропустили ее сквозь трубу,

'til it was born into a blue note

Пока она не окрасилась в печальный тон.

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it

Они возились с ним, репетировали его

And gave out the news

И выдали новость,

That the south land

Что южная земля

Gave birth to the blues

Дала жизнь блюзу.
