Love Is a Bourgeois Construct

Оригинал: Pet Shop Boys

Любовь - буржуазная концепция

Перевод: Вика Пушкина

I've been taking my time for a long time

Я долго тянул время,

Putting my feet up a lot

Много бездельничая.

Speaking English as a foreign language

Говорю на английском как на иностранном языке,

Any words that I haven't forgot

Любыми словами, которые я не забыл.

I've been thinking how I can't be bothered

Я думал, почему меня не беспокоит то,

To wash the dishes or remake the bed

Что надо вымыть посуду или перестелить кровать?

What's the point when I could doss instead?

Что за вопрос, когда вместо этого я мог бы поспать?

I've been hanging out with various riff-raff

Я болтался со всяким сбродом

Somewhere on the Goldhawk Road

Где-нибудь на Голдхок-Роуд.

I don't think it's gonna be much longer

Я не думаю, что это продлится дольше,

'Til I'm mugging up on the penal code

Чем я изучаю уголовный кодекс.

Love is a bourgeois construct

Любовь — буржуазная концепция,

So I've given up on the bourgeoisie

Поэтому я разочаровался в буржуазии

Like all their aspirations, it's a fantasy

И во всех её устремлениях — это иллюзия.

When you walked out you did me a favour

Бросив меня, ты оказала мне услугу,

You made me see reality

Ты помогла мне увидеть реальность:

That love is a bourgeois construct

Любовь — это буржуазная концепция,

It's a blatant fallacy

Это явная ошибка.

You won't see me with a bunch of roses

Ты не увидишь меня с букетом роз,

Promising fidelity

Клянущимся в верности.

Love doesn't mean a thing to me

В любви я не вижу никакого смысла.

Talking tough and feeling bitter

Говорю жёстко и чувствую горечь.

But better now it's clear to me

Но хорошо, что я рано понял,

That love is a bourgeois construct

Что любовь — буржуазная концепция,

So I've given up the bourgeoisie

Поэтому я утратил веру в буржуазию.

While the bankers all get their bonuses

Пока все банкиры получают свои премии,

I'll just get along with what I've got

Я буду обходиться тем, что у меня есть.

Watching the weeds in the garden

Следя за сорняками в саду,

Putting my feet up a lot

Часто бездельничая,

I'll explore the outer limits of boredom

Я буду исследовать внешние пределы скуки,

Moaning periodically

Стонущей время от времени.

Just a full-time, lonely layabout

Одинокий бездельник на полный рабочий день -

That's me

Это я.

When you walked out you did me a favour

Бросив меня, ты оказала мне услугу,

It's absolutely clear to me

Ты помогла мне увидеть реальность:

That love is a bourgeois construct

Любовь — это буржуазная концепция,

Just like they said at university

Так же говорили и в университете.

I'll be taking my time for a long time

Я буду долго тянуть время

With all the schadenfreude it's caused

Со всем злорадством, ею порождённым,

Calculating what you've lost

Подсчитывая, что ты потеряла.

Now I'm digging through my student paperbacks

Теперь я роюсь в своих студенческих книгах,

Flicking through Karl Marx again

Снова пролистываю Карла Маркса

Searching for the soul of England

В поиске души Англии,

Drinking tea like Tony Benn

Пью чай, как Тони Бенн.

Love is just a bourgeois construct

Любовь — лишь буржуазная концепция,

So I'm giving up the bourgeoisie

Поэтому я отступаюсь от буржуазии,

Until you come back to me

Пока ты не вернешься ко мне.

Talking tough and feeling bitter

Говорю жёстко и чувствую горечь.

But better now it's clear to me

Но хорошо, что я рано понял,

That love is a bourgeois construct

Что любовь — буржуазная концепция,

So I've given up the bourgeoisie

Поэтому я утратил веру в буржуазию.
