Lyrics and translation Ben Folds Five - Army - Live UNC Memorial Hall, Chapel Hill, NC, 9/18/08
Well
i
thought
about
the
army,
Я
думал
об
армии.
Dad
said,
son
you're
fuckin
high.
Папа
сказал:
"Сынок,
ты,
блядь,
под
кайфом".
And
i
thought,
yeah
there's
a
first
for
everything,
И
я
подумал:
"Да,
все
бывает
в
первый
раз",
So
i
took
my
old
man's
advice.
Поэтому
последовал
совету
своего
старика.
Three
sad
semesters,
Три
печальных
семестра.
It
was
only
fifteen
grand.
Всего
пятнадцать
штук.
Spent
in
bed
i
thought
about
the
army,
Лежа
в
постели,
я
думал
об
армии.
I
dropped
out
and
joined
a
band
instead.
Я
бросил
учебу
и
вместо
этого
присоединился
к
группе.
Grew
a
moustache
and
a
mullet,
Отрастил
усы
и
маллет,
Got
a
job
at
chic-fil-a.
Устроился
на
работу
в
chic-fil-a.
Citing
artistic
differences
the
band
broke
up
in
may,
Из-за
артистических
разногласий
группа
распалась
в
мае,
And
in
june
reformed
without
me,
and
they
got
a
different
name.
А
в
июне
переформировалась
без
меня,
и
у
них
появилось
другое
название.
I
nuked
another
grandma's
apple
pie
Я
взорвал
еще
один
бабушкин
яблочный
пирог.
And
hung
my
head
in
shame.
И
я
повесил
голову
от
стыда.
Been
thinking
a
lot
today.
Сегодня
я
много
думал.
Been
thinking
a
lot
today.
Сегодня
я
много
думал.
Ohhhh,
i
think
i'll
write
a
screenplay.
О-о-о,
думаю,
я
напишу
сценарий.
Ohhhh,
i
think
i'll
take
it
to
la.
О-о-о,
думаю,
я
отвезу
его
в
Лос-Анджелес.
Ohhhh,
i
think
i'll
get
it
done
yesterday
(aww
shit).
О-о-о,
думаю,
я
сделаю
это
еще
вчера
(О-О,
черт).
In
this
time
of
introspection.
В
это
время
самоанализа.
On
the
eve
of
my
election,
Накануне
моих
выборов...
I
say
to
my
reflection
Я
говорю
своему
отражению
God,
please
spare
me
more
rejection.
Боже,
пожалуйста,
избавь
меня
от
новых
отказов.
Cause
my
peers
they
criticize
me,
Потому
что
мои
сверстники
критикуют
меня,
And
my
ex-wives
all
despise
me.
А
мои
бывшие
жены
презирают
меня.
Try
to
put
it
all
behind
me,
Я
пытаюсь
оставить
все
это
позади,
But
my
redneck
past
is
nipping
at
my
heels
Но
мое
деревенское
прошлое
кусает
меня
за
пятки.
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
today.
Я
много
думал
сегодня.
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
today.
Я
много
думал
сегодня.
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
today.
Я
много
думал
сегодня.
I
thought
about
the
army...
Я
думал
об
армии...
