Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - There Is Power in a Union - John Peel Session, 20th August 1985
There
is
power
in
a
factory,
power
in
the
land
Есть
сила
на
фабрике,
сила
на
земле.
Power
in
the
hand
of
the
worker
Власть
в
руках
рабочего.
But
it
all
amounts
to
nothing
Но
все
это
ни
к
чему
не
приведет.
If
together
we
don't
stand
Если
вместе
мы
не
выстоим
...
There
is
power
in
a
Union
В
Союзе
есть
сила.
Now
the
lessons
of
the
past
Теперь
уроки
прошлого.
Were
all
learned
with
workers'
blood
Все
они
были
выучены
кровью
рабочих.
The
mistakes
of
the
bosses
we
must
pay
for
Мы
должны
заплатить
за
ошибки
боссов.
From
the
cities
and
the
farmlands
Из
городов
и
с
полей.
To
trenches
full
of
blood
В
окопы,
полные
крови.
War's
always
been
the
bosses'
way,
sir
Война
всегда
была
делом
боссов,
сэр.
The
Union
forever
defending
our
rights
Союз
вечно
защищает
наши
права
Down
with
the
blackleg,
all
workers
unite
Долой
черную
ножку,
все
рабочие,
объединяйтесь!
With
our
brothers
and
our
sisters
С
нашими
братьями
и
сестрами.
From
many
far
off
lands
Из
многих
далеких
стран.
There
is
power
in
a
Union
В
Союзе
есть
сила.
Now
I
long
for
the
morning
that
they
realize
Теперь
я
жажду
утра,
которое
они
осознают.
Brutality
and
unjust
laws
cannot
defeat
us
Жестокость
и
несправедливые
законы
не
могут
победить
нас.
But
who'll
defend
the
workers
who
cannot
organise
Но
кто
защитит
рабочих,
которые
не
могут
организоваться?
When
the
bosses
send
their
lackeys
out
to
cheat
us?
Когда
боссы
посылают
своих
лакеев,
чтобы
обмануть
нас?
Money
speaks
for
money
Деньги
говорят
за
деньги.
The
Devil
for
his
own
Дьявол
сам
по
себе.
Who
comes
to
speak
for
the
skin
and
the
bone?
Кто
пришел,
чтобы
говорить
за
кожу
и
кости?
What
a
comfort
to
the
widow
Какое
утешение
для
вдовы!
A
light
to
the
child
Свет
для
ребенка.
There
is
power
in
a
Union
В
Союзе
есть
сила.
With
our
brothers
and
our
sisters
С
нашими
братьями
и
сестрами.
Together
we
will
stand
Вместе
мы
выстоим.
There
is
power
in
a
Union
В
Союзе
есть
сила.
