Hey Papa Legba
Хей, Папа Легба!
He would recount the stories he had learned so well
Он рассказывал истории, которые выучил очень хорошо.
Fourteen years is a long time in one cell
Четырнадцать лет — долгий срок для одной камеры.
When the pipe is passed the opium does its rounds
Когда трубка прошла по рукам, опиум растекается по телу.
Papa Legba sittin' pretty in a chicken little town
Папа Легба чувствует себя как дома в этом жалком городишке.
His textured skin, like leather in the sun
Его разрисованное тело — словно кожа под солнцем.
Fingers beating hard upon a native drum
Пальцы выстукивают дробь на туземном барабане,
He picks his teeth with a splintered back-rib bone
Он вгрызается в треснувшую реберную кость.
Papa Legba bears his fangs and plays alone
У Папы Легбы торчат клыки, и он играет один.
Hey Papa Legba, hoo-boo-be-do
Хей, Папа Легба! Ху-бу-би-ду!
Hey Papa Legba, no one gonna bother you
Хей, Папа Легба! Тебя никто не побеспокоит.
Hey Papa Legba, hoo-boo-be-do
Хей, Папа Легба! Ху-бу-би-ду!
Shake Papa Legba, no one's gonna bother you tonight
Пляши, Папа Легба! Никто не побеспокоит тебя сегодня ночью.
He was free to dance alone where the spirits run
Он волен танцевать один там, где носятся духи.
His almond eyes would twinkle on a hundred sons
Его миндальные глаза сверкают перед сотней сыновей.
His champagne toast and white meat on a spit
У него тосты под шампанское и белое мясо на вертеле.
Papa Legba's drunk with a smile upon his lips
Папа Легба пьян, а его губы расплываются в улыбке.
