Being Boring

Оригинал: Pet Shop Boys

Быть скучным

Перевод: Никита Дружинин

I came across a cache of old photos

Мне попался на глаза тайничок со старыми фотографиями

And invitations to teenage parties

И приглашениями на молодёжную вечеринку.

"Dress in white" one said, with quotations

"Всем быть в белом" — цитирую строки, написанные

From someone's wife, a famous writer

Чьей-то женой, известным писателем,

In the nineteen-twenties

В двадцатые годы.

When you're young you find inspiration

Когда вы юны, вас вдохновляет

In anyone who's ever gone

Любой ушедший,

And opened up a closing door

Кто открывает запертую дверь.

She said: "We were never feeling bored

Она сказала: "Нам никогда не было скучно".

'Cause we were never being boring

Потому что мы сами никогда не были скучными,

We had too much time to find for ourselves

И нас была куча времени, чтобы уделить его каждому,

And we were never being boring

И мы никогда не были скучными,

We dressed up and fought, then thought:

Мы наряжались, дрались, а затем подумывали,

"Make amends"

Как бы покрыть причинённый ущерб,

And we were never holding back or worried that

Для нас не было преград, и мы не беспокоились о времени,

Time would come to an end

Которое подходило к концу...

When I went I left from the station

Когда я покидал родные места, я сидел на станции,

With a haversack and some trepidation

С рюкзаком и небольшим волнением.

Someone said: "If you're not careful

Кто мне сказал: "Если тебя ничего не волнует,

You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for

То и не останется того, о чём следовало бы волноваться,

In the nineteen-seventies"

К семидесятым..."

But I sat back and looking forward

Но я расслабился и смотрел вперёд,

My shoes were high and I had scored

С высоты своего положения, и я в итоге победил,

I'd bolted through a closing door

Я прорвался через последнюю дверь,

I would never find myself feeling bored

И мне никогда не было скучно...

'Cause we were never being boring

Потому что мы сами никогда не были скучными,

We had too much time to find for ourselves

И нас была куча времени, чтобы уделить его каждому,

And we were never being boring

И мы никогда не были скучными,

We dressed up and fought, then thought:

Мы наряжались, дрались, а затем подумывали,

"Make amends"

Как бы покрыть причинённый ущерб,

And we were never holding back or worried that

Для нас не было преград, и мы не беспокоились о времени,

Time would come to an end

Которое подходило к концу...

We were always hoping that, looking back

У нас всегда была надежда, и, оглядываясь назад,

You could always rely on a friend

Я знал, что мы всегда можем положиться друг на друга.

Now I sit with different faces

Теперь я сижу вместе с незнакомыми лицами

In rented rooms and foreign places

В снятых номерах, в чужих странах,

All the people I was kissing

И все люди, которых я целовал –

Some are here and some are missing

Кто-то здесь, рядом со мной, а кого-то нет,

In the nineteen-nineties

Тут, в девяностых...

I never dreamt that I would get to be

Я никогда не мечтал о том, что вдруг смогу стать

The creature that I always meant to be

Тем, кем должен был быть,

But I thought in spite of dreams

Но всегда знал, несмотря на мечты,

You'd be sitting somewhere here with me

Что ты будешь рядом со мной.

'Cause we were never being boring

Потому что мы сами никогда не были скучными,

We had too much time to find for ourselves

И нас была куча времени, чтобы уделить его каждому,

And we were never being boring

И мы никогда не были скучными,

We dressed up and fought, then thought:

Мы наряжались, дрались, а затем подумывали,

"Make amends"

Как бы покрыть причинённый ущерб,

And we were never holding back or worried that

Для нас не было преград, и мы не беспокоились о времени,

Time would come to an end

Которое подходило к концу...

We were always hoping that, looking back

У нас всегда была надежда, и, оглядываясь назад,

You could always rely on a friend

Я знал, что мы всегда можем положиться друг на друга.

And we were never being boring

И мы никогда не были скучными,

We were never being bored

Мы никогда не были скучными,

'Cause we were never being boring

Ведь мы никогда не были скучными,

We were never being bored

Мы никогда не были скучными.
