Boy Wanted

Оригинал: Ella Fitzgerald

Ищу парня

Перевод: Никита Дружинин

I've just finished writing an advertisement

Я только что написала объявление,

Calling for a boy.

Чтобы найти парня:

No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant;

Не субтильного Ромео или хлыща —

That's the kind I'd not employ.

Такого я не возьму.

Though anybody interested can apply,

И хотя по нему может обратиться кто хочет,

He must know a thing or two to qualify.

Он должен кое-что уметь, чтобы подойти мне.

For instance:

Например:

He must be able to dance.

Он должен уметь танцевать.

He must make life a romance.

Он должен быть романтичным.

I said a boy wanted,

Послушайте: я ищу парня

One who can smile;

С красивой улыбкой.

Boy wanted, lovable style.

Ищу парня. Обаятельного.

He must know how to say "Yes!"

Он должен уметь говорить: "Да!",

When I look at a new dress.

Когда я заглядываюсь на новое платье.

Oh, I'll be ready when the right one calls,

О, я буду готова, когда позвонит тот, что надо,

And I'll start vamping him until he falls;

И я буду тянуть из него соки, пока он не упадёт.

Yes, if he proves to be the right little laddie,

Да, если он докажет, что он подходящий малый,

I'll make him glad he answered my ad.

Я позабочусь, чтобы он был рад, что ответил на моё объявление.

He must like musical shows,

Он должен любить мюзиклы,

And he must wear snappy clothes.

Он должен одеваться, как щёголь.

Yes, that is my story,

Да, я себе это напридумывала,

And to it I'll stick;

И я не отступлюсь.

No glory

А что хорошего

In having a hick.

В жизни с мужланом?

He needn't be such a saint,

Он может быть не святым,

But, oh! He doesn't say "ain't."

Но — о! — он не должен говорить: "Нет!"

I don't care if his bankroll totals naught,

Мне плевать, если его финансы поют романсы –

For we can live on love and food for thought.

Мы можем обойтись любовью и духовной пищей.

If he's a scholar, when I see him I'll holler,

Если он интеллектуал, то при встрече я воскликну:

My lad, I'm glad you answered my ad!'

"Милый, я рада, что ты откликнулся на моё объявление!"
