Lyrics and translation Ben Folds - Boxing (Demo, 1992)
Howard,
the
strangest
things
have
happened
lately
Говард,
в
последнее
время
происходят
странные
вещи.
When
I
take
a
good
swing
at
all
my
dreams,
they
pivot
Когда
я
хорошенько
замахиваюсь
на
все
свои
мечты,
они
разворачиваются.
And
slip,
I
drop
my
fists
and
they're
back
laughing
Поскользнувшись,
я
опускаю
кулаки,
и
они
снова
смеются.
Howard,
my
intention's
become
not
to
lose
Говард,
мое
намерение
- не
проиграть.
What
I've
won,
ambition
has
given
way
То,
что
я
выиграл,
амбиции
отступили.
To
desperation
and
I
lost
the
fight
for
my
eyes
В
отчаянии
я
проиграл
битву
за
свои
глаза.
Boxing's
been
good
to
me,
Howard
Бокс
был
добр
ко
мне,
Говард.
Now
I'm
told,
"You're
growing
old"
Теперь
мне
говорят
:"ты
стареешь".
The
whole
time
he
knew,
a
couple
of
years
Все
это
время
он
знал,
пару
лет.
I'd
be
through,
has
boxing
been
good
to
you?
С
меня
хватит,
бокс
был
тебе
полезен?
Howard,
now
I
confess,
I'm
scared
and
lonely
and
tired
Говард,
признаюсь,
мне
страшно,
одиноко
и
я
устал.
They
seem
to
think
I'm
made
of
clay,
another
day
Кажется,
они
думают,
что
я
сделан
из
глины,
Еще
один
день.
I'm
not
cut
out
for
this,
I
just
know
what
to
say,
I
say
Я
не
создан
для
этого,
я
просто
знаю,
что
сказать,
я
говорю.
Boxing's
been
good
to
me,
Howard
Бокс
был
добр
ко
мне,
Говард.
Now
I'm
told,
"You're
growing
old"
Теперь
мне
говорят
:"ты
стареешь".
The
whole
time
he
knew,
a
couple
of
years
Все
это
время
он
знал,
пару
лет.
I'd
be
through,
has
boxing
been
good
to
you?
С
меня
хватит,
бокс
был
тебе
полезен?
Well,
sometimes
I
punch
myself
hard
as
I
can
Что
ж,
иногда
я
бью
себя
изо
всех
сил.
Yelling,
"Nobody
cares",
hoping
some
one
Крича:
"всем
плевать",
надеясь,
что
кто-то
...
Will
tell
me
how
wrong
I
am,
Howard
Ты
скажешь
мне,
как
я
ошибаюсь,
Говард?
Boxing's
been
good
to
me,
Howard
Бокс
был
добр
ко
мне,
Говард.
Now
I'm
told,
"You're
growing
old"
Теперь
мне
говорят
:"ты
стареешь".
The
whole
time
he
knew,
a
couple
of
years
Все
это
время
он
знал,
пару
лет.
I'd
be
through,
has
boxing
been
good?
С
меня
хватит,
бокс
был
хорош?
Has
boxing
been
good?
Has
boxing
been
good?
Был
ли
бокс
хорош?
был
ли
бокс
хорош?
