Johnny Cash - My Grandfather’s Clock - translation of the lyrics into Russian

Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - My Grandfather’s Clock




My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
Часы моего деда были слишком велики для полки
So it stood ninety years on the floor
Так он и простоял девяносто лет на полу
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Он был вдвое выше самого старика
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
Хотя весил он ни на пенни больше
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
Оно было куплено утром того дня, когда он родился
And was always his treasure and pride
И всегда была его сокровищем и гордостью
But it stopped, short never to go again
Но это прекратилось, ненадолго, чтобы никогда больше не повториться
When the old man died
Когда старик умер
Ninety years without slumbering
Девяносто лет без сна
His life seconds numbering
Секунды его жизни исчисляются
It stopped, short never to go again
Это прекратилось, ненадолго, чтобы никогда больше не повториться
When the old man died
Когда старик умер
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
Мой дедушка сказал, что из тех, кого он мог бы нанять
Not a servant so faithful he found
Такого преданного слуги он еще не встречал
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
Ибо он не терял времени даром и имел только одно желание
At the close of each week to be wound
В конце каждой недели, подлежащей заводке
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
И он остался на своем месте, ни разу не нахмурившись
And its hands never hung by its side
И его руки никогда не свисали по бокам
But it stopped short, never to go again
Но все резко оборвалось, чтобы никогда больше не повториться
When the old man died
Когда старик умер
It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night
Он зазвонил и встревожил меня глубокой ночью
An alarm that for years had been dumb
Тревога, которая в течение многих лет была немой
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
И мы знали, что его дух готовился к полету
That his hour for departure had come
Что настал его час отъезда
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
Часы по-прежнему отсчитывали время мягким и приглушенным перезвоном
As we silently stood by his side
Когда мы молча стояли рядом с ним
But it stopped short, never to go again
Но все резко оборвалось, чтобы никогда больше не повториться
When the old man died
Когда старик умер
Ninety years without slumbering
Девяносто лет без сна
His life seconds numbering
Секунды его жизни исчисляются
It stopped short, never to go again
Все резко оборвалось, чтобы никогда больше не повториться
When the old man died
Когда старик умер
