Bing Crosby - Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? (with Lenny Hayton and His Orchestra) - translation of the lyrics into Russian




Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? (with Lenny Hayton and His Orchestra)
Братец, не найдется ли десяти центов? (с Ленни Хейтоном и его оркестром)
They used to tell me I was building a dream
Мне твердили, что я строю мечту,
And so I followed the mob
И я шёл за толпой.
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
Когда нужно было пахать землю или носить оружие,
I was always there, right on the job
Я всегда был там, на своём посту.
They used to tell me I was building a dream
Мне твердили, что я строю мечту,
With peace and glory ahead
С миром и славой впереди.
Why should I be standing in line
Почему же я стою в очереди,
Just waiting for bread?
Просто ожидая кусок хлеба?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Когда-то я строил железную дорогу, я заставлял её бежать,
Made it race against time
Заставлял её соревноваться со временем.
Once I built a railroad, now it′s done
Когда-то я построил железную дорогу, теперь всё кончено.
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Братец, не найдется ли десяти центов?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Когда-то я построил башню до самого солнца,
Brick and rivet and lime
Из кирпича, заклёпок и извести.
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Когда-то я построил башню, теперь всё кончено.
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Братец, не найдется ли десяти центов?
Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
Когда-то в форме цвета хаки, эх, мы выглядели молодцами,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Полные этого "Янки Дудл".
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
Полмиллиона сапог шли, утопая в аду,
And I was the kid with the drum
А я был пареньком с барабаном.
Say, don′t you remember? They called me '"Al"
Скажи, разве ты не помнишь? Меня звали "Эл",
It was "Al" all the time
Всегда звали "Эл".
Why don't you remember? I′m your pal
Почему ты не помнишь? Я твой приятель.
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Скажи, дружок, не найдется ли десяти центов?
Once in khaki suits, ah, gee, we looked swell
Когда-то в форме цвета хаки, эх, мы выглядели молодцами,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Полные этого "Янки Дудл".
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
Полмиллиона сапог шли, утопая в аду,
And I was the kid with the drum
А я был пареньком с барабаном.
Oh, say, don′t you remember? They called me "Al"
Эх, скажи, разве ты не помнишь? Меня звали "Эл",
It was "Al" all the time
Всегда звали "Эл".
Say, don't you remember? I′m your pal
Скажи, разве ты не помнишь? Я твой приятель,
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Дружок, не найдется ли десяти центов?
