Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - After Shelley




After Shelley
После Шелли
Anybody can press a button and blow up a ship
Любой может нажать кнопку и взорвать корабль,
Anybody can use an atom bomb
Любой может использовать атомную бомбу,
Anybody can pick up a big whip and whip you
Любой может взять большой кнут и отхлестать тебя,
Anybody can stick a knife into you
Любой может вонзить в тебя нож,
Anybody can pull a trigger
Любой может нажать на курок,
But where's the man with the character, as can take a punch on the nose and keep his temper, keep control of himself?
Но где тот мужчина с характером, который может получить удар по носу и сдержать свой гнев, сохранить самообладание?
The seed you sow, another reaps
Семя, которое ты сеешь, пожинает другой,
The wealth you find, another keeps
Богатство, которое ты находишь, хранит другой,
The clothes you weave, another wears
Одежду, которую ты ткешь, носит другой,
The arms you forge, another bears
Оружие, которое ты куешь, носит другой,
The songs you write, another sings
Песни, которые ты пишешь, поет другой,
The heart you lose, another wins
Сердце, которое ты теряешь, завоевывает другой,
The food you bake, another eats
Еду, которую ты печешь, ест другой,
Poison-laced and oh so sweet
Отравленную и такую сладкую,
Rock and roll
Рок-н-ролл,
Check your pulse
Проверь свой пульс,
Art or death
Искусство или смерть,
True or false
Правда или ложь,
Can't stay young
Нельзя оставаться молодым,
Can't grow old
Нельзя стать старым,
Overpriced
Переоценено,
Undersold
Недооценено.

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
