Ol' Man River

Оригинал: Ray Charles

Старик-река

Перевод: Вика Пушкина

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi

Все мы работаем здесь, на берегах Миссисипи,

Here we all work while the white folk play

Все мы работаем, пока белые люди развлекаются.

Pullin' them boats

Мы тянем суда

From the dawn till sunset

От заката до рассвета,

Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

Не зная отдыха до Страшного суда.

Don't look up and don't look down

Не смотри вверх, не смотри вниз.

You don't das make the boss man frown

Не заставляй господина хмуриться.

Bend your knees and bow your head

Согни колени, опусти голову

And pull that rope until your dead

И тяни лямку, пока ты жив.

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi

Дайте мне уехать с Миссисипи,

Let me go 'way from the white man boss

Дайте мне уехать от белого господина,

Show me that stream

Покажите мне реку,

Called the River Jordan

Что называется Иордан,

That's the old stream that I long to cross.

Эту древнюю реку, которую я мечтаю переплыть.

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River

Старик-река, Старик-река

He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'

Ничего не говорит, но, похоже, он что-то знает.

He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along

Он просто продолжает течь и течь...

He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton

Он не сажает картошку, он не сажает хлопок,

And them what plants em, are soon forgotten

А те, кто сажает их, быстро забываются,

But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along

Но Старик-река продолжает течь...

You and me, we sweat and strain

Мы с тобой обливаемся потом и устаём,

Body all achin' and racked with pain

Всё тело болит и корчится от боли.

Tote that barge and lift that bail

Мы тянем баржи и поднимаем вёдра.

You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

Стоит немного выпить — и ты в тюрьме.

I gets weary

Силы покидают меня,

And sick of trying

Я уже устал стараться.

I'm tired of livin', but I'm scared of dyin'

Я больше не могу так жить, но я боюсь умирать,

But Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along

А Старик-река продолжает течь...
