Lyrics and translation Bobby “Blue” Bland - Poverty - Single Version (Stereo)

Up every morning with the sun

Встаю каждое утро с восходом солнца.

I work all day 'til the evening comes

Я работаю весь день, пока не наступит вечер.

Busters and corns all in my hands

Шишки и мозоли-все в моих руках.

Lord, have mercy on a working man

Господи, смилуйся над рабочим человеком!

I guess I'm gonna die, just like I live in poverty

Наверное, я умру, как и живу в бедности.

My pay goes down and my tax goes up

Моя зарплата падает, а налоги растут.

I drink my tea from a broken cup

Я пью чай из разбитой чашки.

Between my woman and uncle Sam

Между моей женщиной и дядей Сэмом.

I can't figure out just what I am

Я не могу понять, кто я такой.

I guess I'm gonna die, just like I live in poverty

Наверное, я умру, как и живу в бедности.

Oh Lord, it's so hard

О Боже, это так тяжело
