The Christmas Riddle

Оригинал: Peggy Lee

Рождественская загадка

Перевод: Никита Дружинин

Children, may I tell a riddle

Дети, хотите, я загадаю вам загадку

Of someone who's dear to you

Про одного дорогого вам человека?

Maybe you will guess the answer

Может быть, вы угадаете, кто это,

Long before I'm through

Ещё до того, как я закончу.

(Riddle, a riddle, oh, tell us a riddle)

(Загадку, загадку, о, загадай нам загадку!)

(Tell us a riddle, please do)

(Загадай нам загадку, пожалуйста!)

Well, long ago there lived a bishop

Ну что ж, давным-давно жил-был епископ,

Who was such a kindly man

Который был очень добрым человеком.

All his life was spent in giving

Всю свою жизнь он дарил подарки другим людям.

That was how it all began

Вот как это все начиналось.

And they say he rode a white horse

Говорят, он ездил на белой лошади,

As he went from door to door

Когда перемещался от дома к дому,

Giving presents, sweets and good things

Раздаривая подарки, сладости и полезные вещи.

Need I tell you any more

Нужно ли тут ещё что-то добавлять?

(Riddle, a riddle, it still is a riddle)

(Загадка, загадка, это все ещё загадка!)

(Tell us, oh, please tell us more)

(О, пожалуйста, расскажи нам больше не!)

Next the legend says, the children

Другая легенда гласит, что дети

Would leave hay in a wooden shoe

Оставляли в деревянном башмаке сено

For the white horse he was riding

Для белой лошади, на которой он ездил.

Now you have another clue

Вот вам ещё одна подсказка.

(You gave us a clue, you gave us a clue)

(Ты дала нам подсказку, ты дала нам подсказку)

(About hay in a wooden shoe)

(Про сено в деревянном башмаке)

He has many another name

У него есть много разных имён

In many another far off land

Во многих разных далёких странах,

But no matter what the language

Но, какой бы это ни был язык,

Every child will understand

Каждый ребёнок поймёт...

Well now, when you hang your stocking

Ну что ж, когда вы развешиваете носки,

He was why that all began

С него всё это и началось.

All the World has kept the custom

Весь мир хранит традицию,

Of this kind and saintly man

Связанную с этим добром и святым человеком.

(We've got it, we've got it, we just guessed the riddle)

(Мы догадались, мы догадались! Мы разгадали загадку!)

(We know how it all began)

(Мы знаем, как все это началось)

Yes, you know now ‘twas Saint Nicholas

Да, вы знаете, что это был святой Николай.

For giving gifts, he was the cause

С него началось дарение подарков.

Some have named him dear Kris Kringle

Одни называли его дорогой Крис Крингл,

Others call him Santa Claus

Другие зовут его Санта-Клаус.

And much like the sweet Dutch children

И совсем как милые голландские дети,

Would leave hay in a wooden shoe

Что оставляли сено в деревянном башмаке,

Others leave some for the reindeer

Другие оставляют что-нибудь для оленя

And give presents too

И тоже дарят подарки.

(The riddle, the riddle, we guessed the riddle)

(Загадку, загадку, мы разгадали загадку!)

(The riddle of dear old Saint Nick)

(Загадку про дорогого святого Николая!)

The riddle of old Saint Nick

Загадку про святого Николая!
