Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - To Have and to Have Not (Live San Fransisco 3 June 1985)




To Have and to Have Not (Live San Fransisco 3 June 1985)
Иметь или не иметь (Живое выступление в Сан-Франциско 3 июня 1985)
Up in the morning and out to school
Подъем с утра, и в школу пора,
Mother says there'll be no work next year
Мама говорит, работы не будет в следующем году.
Qualifications once the Golden Rule
Квалификация, когда-то золотой стандарт,
Are now just pieces of paper
Теперь лишь бесполезная бумажка.
Just because you're better than me
Только потому, что ты лучше меня,
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Не значит, что я лентяй.
Just because you're going forwards
Только потому, что ты идешь вперед,
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Не значит, что я иду назад.
If you look the part you'll get the job
Если выглядишь как надо, получишь работу,
In last year's trousers and your old school shoes
В прошлогодних штанах и старых школьных ботинках.
The truth is son, it's a buyer's market
Правда, сынок, сейчас рынок покупателя,
They can afford to pick and choose
Они могут выбирать.
Just because you're better than me
Только потому, что ты лучше меня,
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Не значит, что я лентяй.
Just because I dress like this
Только потому, что я так одеваюсь,
Doesn't mean I'm a communist
Не значит, что я коммунист.
The factories are closing and the army's full
Заводы закрываются, а армия переполнена,
I don't know what I'm going to do
Я не знаю, что мне делать.
But I've come to see in the Land of the Free
Но я пришел к выводу, что в Стране Свободы
There's only a future for the Chosen Few
Будущее есть только у избранных.
Just because you're better than me
Только потому, что ты лучше меня,
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Не значит, что я лентяй.
Just because you're going forwards
Только потому, что ты идешь вперед,
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Не значит, что я иду назад.
At twenty one you're on top of the scrapheap
В двадцать один ты на вершине кучи хлама,
At sixteen you were top of the class
В шестнадцать ты был лучшим в классе.
All they taught you at school
Всему, чему тебя учили в школе,
Was how to be a good worker
Было как стать хорошим работником.
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
Система подвела тебя, не подведи себя сам.
Just because you're better than me
Только потому, что ты лучше меня,
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Не значит, что я лентяй.
Just because you're going forwards
Только потому, что ты идешь вперед,
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Не значит, что я иду назад.
