Alice Blue Gown

Оригинал: Jo Stafford

Светло-голубое платье

Перевод: Олег Крутиков

I once had a gown, it was almost new

Когда-то у меня было платье, оно было почти новое.

Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue

О, тончайшая вещь! Оно было прекрасным светло-голубым

With little forget-me-nots placed here and there

С незабудками, разбросанными тут и там.

When I had it on, I walked on the air

Когда я надевала его, я летала от счастья.

And it wore, and it wore, and it wore

Но оно изнашивалось, изнашивалось и изнашивалось,

'Til it went, and it wasn't no more

Пока не износилось, и вот его больше нет.

In my sweet little Alice blue gown

Когда я впервые вышла в город

When I first wandered down into town

В своём прекрасном светло-голубом платье,

I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye

Я была и горда, и смущена, когда ловила на себе каждый взгляд,

And in every shop window I primped passing by

И, проходя мимо каждой витрины, я прихорашивалась,

Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown

А потом хмурилась по тогдашней моде,

And the world seemed to smile all around

И всё вокруг словно улыбалось мне,

'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it

Пока оно не выцвело. Я износила его. Я всегда буду обожать его,

My sweet little Alice blue gown

Моё прекрасное маленькое светло-голубое платье.

The little silk worms that made silk for that gown

Маленькие шелковые черви, что создали шелк для этого платья,

Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground

Просто напряли много шелка, а потом уползли под землю,

For there never was anything like it before

Потому что не было ничего, что могло бы сравниться с ним,

And I don't dare to hope there will be any more

И я не смею надеется, что появится когда-нибудь вновь.

But it's gone, 'cause it just had to be

Хотя его больше нет, потому что так должно было быть,

Still it wears in my memory

Я по-прежнему ношу его в своих воспоминаниях.

In my sweet little Alice blue gown

Когда я впервые вышла в город

When I first wandered down into town

В своём прекрасном светло-голубом платье,

I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye

Я была и горда, и смущена, когда ловила на себе каждый взгляд.

And in every shop window I primped passing by

И, проходя мимо каждой витрины, я прихорашивалась,

Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown

А потом хмурилась по тогдашней моде,

And the world seemed to smile all around

И всё вокруг словно улыбалось мне,

So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another

Поэтому было бы неправильно, если бы из шёлка было сшито другое, а не

My sweet little Alice blue gown

Моё прекрасное маленькое светло-голубое платье...
