Dignity

Оригинал: Joe Cocker

Достоинство

Перевод: Вика Пушкина

Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel

Толстяк смотрит на стальное лезвие,

Thin man lookin' at his last meal

Худой смотрит на свою последнюю еду,

Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield

Невидимка смотрит на хлопковое поле

For dignity

В поисках достоинства.

Wise man lookin' at a blade of grass

Мудрый смотрит на былинку,

Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass

Молодой смотрит на проходящие тени,

Poor man lookin' through painted glass

Бедный смотрит сквозь церковные витражи

For dignity

В поисках достоинства.

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve

Кто-то был убит в новогоднюю ночь.

Someone said dignity was the first to leave

Говорят, достоинство — первое, от чего отказываются.

I went into the city, I went into the town

Я пошел в большой город, я пошел в маленький

In the land of the midnight sun

В краю полуночного солнца.

Searchin' high, searchin' low

Я ищу тут, я ищу там,

Searchin' everywhere I roam

Я ищу везде, где брожу.

Askin' the cops wherever I go

Я спрашиваю полицейских везде, куда бы я ни пошел:

Have you seen dignity?

Вы не видели достоинство?

Blind man breakin' out of a trance

Слепой выходит из транса,

Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance

Сует руки в карманы,

Hopin' to find one circumstance

Надеясь найти одну частность –

Of dignity

Достоинство.

I went to the wedding of Mary Lou

Я пришел на свадьбу Мэри Лу.

She said,"I don't want

Она сказала: "Я не хочу,

nobody to see me talkin' to you"

чтобы кто-то видел, как я говорю с тобой".

Said she could be killed

Она сказала, что ее убьют,

if she told me what she knew

если она скажет мне то, что знает

'Bout dignity

О достоинстве.

Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand

По серебристому песку проходят следы.

Steps fallin' down into tattoo land

Они ведут в край татуировок.

I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light

Я встретил сыновей тьмы и сыновей света

In the border towns of despair

В приграничных городах отчаяния.

So many roads, so much at stake

Так много дорог, так много поставлено на карту.

Too many dead ends, I'm at the end of the lake

Слишком много тупиков, я в конце озера.

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take

Иногда я спрашиваю себя: чего оно стоит –

To find dignity

Найти достоинство?
