Paroles et traduction Pete Seeger - Eight-Hour Day

We're brave and gallant miner boys, who work in underground

Мы храбрые и отважные шахтеры, которые работают в подполье.

For courage and good nature, no finer can be found

Для храбрости и добродушия нет ничего прекраснее.

We work both late and early, and get but little pay

Мы работаем и поздно, и рано, и платим мало.

To support our wives and children, in free Americay

Чтобы поддержать наших жен и детей в свободной Америке.

If Satan took the blacklegs, I'm sure t'would bid no sin

Если бы сатана забрал черноногих, я уверен, они бы не грешили.

What peace and happiness t'would be, for us poor workin' men

Какой мир и счастье были бы для нас, бедных рабочих!

Eight hours we'd have for workin', eight hours we'd have for play

Восемь часов у нас было бы на работу, восемь часов-на игру.

Eight hours we'd have for sleeping, in free Americay

Восемь часов у нас было бы на сон в свободной Америке.
