Lyrics and translation Billy Joel - The Downeaster "Alexa" (Remastered)




The Downeaster "Alexa" (Remastered)
«Даунйстер «Алекса»» (ремастеринг)
Well I′m on the Downeaster "Alexa"
Ну вот, я на своем «Даунйстере «Алекса»», милая,
I am cruising through Block Island Sound
Иду по проливу Блок-Айленд.
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard
Мой курс проложен к Виньярду,
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
Но сегодня ночью я направляюсь к Нантакету.
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
Вчера мы заправились дизелем в Монтауке,
And left this morning from the bell in Gardner's Bay
А сегодня утром вышли из залива Гарднерс-Бей.
Like all the locals here I′ve had to sell my home
Как и все местные, мне пришлось продать свой дом,
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
Слишком гордый, чтобы уехать, я работал до изнеможения,
So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"
Чтобы купить свой «Даунйстер «Алекса»».
And I go where the ocean is deep
И я иду туда, где океан глубок.
There are giants out there in the canyons
Там, в каньонах, водятся гиганты,
And a good captain can't fall asleep
И хороший капитан не может заснуть.
I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
У меня есть счета, которые нужно оплатить, и дети, которым нужна одежда.
I know there′s fish out there but where God only knows
Я знаю, что там есть рыба, но где - одному Богу известно.
They say these waters aren′t what they used to be
Говорят, эти воды уже не те, что раньше,
But I've got people back on land who count on me
Но у меня есть люди на берегу, которые рассчитывают на меня.
So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
Так что, если ты увидишь мой «Даунйстер «Алекса»»,
And if you work with the rod and the reel
И если будешь работать с удочкой и катушкой,
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
Передай моей жене, что я ловлю рыбу у Атлантиды,
And I still have my hands on the wheel
И мои руки все еще на штурвале.
Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"
Теперь я управляю своим «Даунйстером «Алекса»»,
More and more miles from shore every year
С каждым годом все дальше и дальше от берега,
Since they told me I can′t sell no stripers
С тех пор, как мне сказали, что я не могу продавать полосатого окуня,
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
И что здесь нет удачи в ловле рыбы-меч.
I was a bayman like my father was before
Я был рыбаком, как и мой отец до меня,
Can′t make a living as a bayman anymore
Больше не могу зарабатывать на жизнь рыбалкой.
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
Нет большого будущего для человека, который работает в море,
But there ain′t no island left for islanders like me
Но не осталось острова для таких островитян, как я.
