Ben Folds - Boxing (Demo, 1992) - translation of the lyrics into Russian

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?
