Alexander the Great

Оригинал: Iron Maiden

Александр Великий

Перевод: Никита Дружинин

"My son ask for thyself another kingdom

"Сын мой, ищи себе другое царство,

For that which I leave is too small for thee"

Ибо то, что я оставляю, слишком мало для тебя".

Near to the east in a part of ancient Greece

Рядом с Востоком, в части Древней Греции,

In an ancient land called Macedonia

В древнем краю под названием Македония

Was born a son to Philip of Macedon

Родился сын у Филиппа Македонского,

The legend, his name was Alexander

По легенде, наречен был Александром.

At the age of nineteen he became the Macedon King

В возрасте девятнадцати лет он стал правителем Македонии,

And he swore to free all of Asia Minor

И поклялся освободить всю Малую Азию.

By the Aegean Sea in 334 B.C

У Эгейского Моря в 334-м году до н.э.

He utterly beat the armies of Persia

Он наголову разбил армию персов.

[Chorus:]

[Припев:]

Alexander the Great

Александр Великий,

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Его имя вселяло страх в сердца.

Alexander the Great

Александр Великий,

Became a legend amongst mortal men

Он стал легендой среди смертных.

King Darius the third defeated fled Persia

Царь Дарий Третий, побежденный, бежал вглубь Персии,

The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes

Скифы пали в битве на реке Яксарта.

Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well

Египет также покорился македонскому царю,

And he founded the city called Alexandria

И он основал город Александрия.

By the Tigris river he met King Darius again

У реки Тигр он вновь повстречал Царя Дария,

And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela

Сокрушил его вновь в Битве при Гавгамелах.

Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found

Вступив в Вавилон и Сузы, сокровища он нашел;

Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia

Взял Персеполис, столицу Персии.

[Chorus:]

[Припев:]

Alexander the Great

Александр Великий,

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Его имя вселяло страх в сердца.

Alexander the Great

Александр Великий,

Became a God amongst mortal men

Он стал Богом для смертных.

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke

Фригийский царь обвязал ярмо колесницы,

And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'

И Александр разрубил Гордиев Узел.

And legend said that who untied the knot

Легенда гласила, что тот, кто развяжет узел,

He would become the master of Asia

Станет властелином Азии.

Hellenism he spread far and wide

Повсюду он распространял эллинизм,

The Macedonian learned mind

Македонцы изучали науки,

Their culture was a western way of life

Их культура была западным образом жизни,

He paved the way for Christianity

Он проложил путь к христианству.

Marching on,

На марше,

Marching on

На марше.

The battle weary marching side by side

Утомленные, идут воины бок о бок,

Alexander's army line by line

Армия Александра шагает строй за строем,

They wouldn't follow him to India

Они не последуют за ним в Индию,

Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Уставшие от битв, боли и славы.

[Chorus:]

[Припев:]

Alexander the Great

Александр Великий,

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Его имя вселяло страх в сердца.

Alexander the Great

Александр Великий,

He died of fever in Babylon

Он умер от лихорадки в Вавилоне.
