Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Distant Shore

Distant Shore

Далекий берег

Everyone knows

Все знают,

That there's no place like home

Что нет места лучше дома,

But I'm just seeking refuge

Но я всего лишь ищу убежища

In a world full of storms

В мире, полном бурь.

Washed up on a distant shore

Выброшенный на далёкий берег,

Can't go home anymore

Я не могу больше вернуться домой.

The natives are hostile

Местные жители враждебны,

Whatever I say

Что бы я ни говорил.

The thing they fear most is

Больше всего они боятся,

That I might want to stay

Что я могу захотеть остаться

By their side on a distant shore

Рядом с ними на далёком берегу.

Can't go home anymore

Я не могу больше вернуться домой.

I escape my tormenters

Я сбежал от своих мучителей,

By crossing the sea

Переплыв море.

What I cannot escape is

Но от чего я не могу убежать, так это

Memory

От воспоминаний

Far away on a distant shore

Вдали, на далёком берегу.

Can't go home anymore

Я не могу больше вернуться домой.
