John And Elvis Are Dead

Оригинал: George Michael

Джон и Элвис мертвы

Перевод: Вика Пушкина

Close friend of mine as a child fell into a slumber

Мой друг, близкий мне с детства, впал в забытье,

No sign of life since '75

Ни единого признака жизни с 1975 года.

Then one day he just, what do you know

Затем однажды он просто... можете представить?

I guess God just called his number

Наверное, бог просто призвал его к себе.

He called me up he called me up and said

Он позвал меня, он позвал меня и сказал:

"I've been awake about a week

"Я не спал почти неделю,

I'm thinking about asking the doctor

Я хочу попросить доктора о том,

If he could put me back to sleep"

Чтобы он вернул мне сон."

Then he laughed and said

Тогда он засмеялся и сказал:

"Hey all the girls they look the same"

"Эй, все девушки одинаковы!"

Don't they know just what their mothers

Разве они не знают, что даже их мамы

Paid in blood, and tears to change

Расплачивались кровью и слезами ради перемен?

But the words that made me cry

Но слова, заставившие меня плакать,

The thing he softly said

То, что он сказал тихим голосом,

It stayed with me, it keeps messing with my head

Осталось со мной и не оставляет в покое.

He said, "If Jesus Christ is alive and well

Он сказал: "Если Иисус Христос жив и здоров,

Then how come John & Elvis are dead?"

Тогда как же Джон и Элвис могут быть мертвы?"

Youth, beautiful youth

Молодость, дивная молодость!

We walked through the walls until we found the truth

Мы бились головой об стену, пока не нашли истину,

And said "Change it, it's ugly just change it"

А затем сказали: "Измени это, это ужасно, просто измени это!"

Everyone we used to know

Все, кого мы знали,

Must have given up, so long ago

Должно быть, забили на это давным-давно.

You can see it, it's written on their faces

Посмотри, это написано на их лицах

And the inside of their clothes

И под их одеждой.

But the words that made me cry

Но те слова заставили меня плакать,

'Cos I knew just what they meant

Потому что я знал, что они означают.

He turned to me and said

Он повернулся ко мне и сказал:

"Hey boy, if Jesus Christ is alive and well

"Эй, парень, если Иисус Христос жив и здоров,

Then how come John & Elvis are dead?"

Тогда как же Джон и Элвис могут быть мертвы?"

"Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and well

"Скажи мне, если Иисус Христос жив и здоров,

Then how come Marvin & Elvis are dead?"

Тогда как же Марвин и Элвис могут быть мертвы?"

I said "If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves

Я сказал: "Если Иисус Христос спасет нас от самих себя,

How come peace, love and Elvis are dead?"

Как мир, любовь и Элвис могут быть мертвы?"
