Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Hammer Stirrup & Anvil




Hammer Stirrup & Anvil
Молоточек, стремечко и наковальня
Our Glorious Leader
Наш славный Лидер,
Declares by decree:
объявляет своим указом:
'The music of the Glorious State from this time on will be
«Музыка Славного Государства отныне будет
Square-jawed and dreary
прямолинейной и унылой,
For the good of us all.'
для всеобщего блага».
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
Молоточек, стремечко и наковальня под контролем государства.
My name is Dimitri
Меня зовут Дмитрий,
Man of some renown
человек довольно известный.
In this symphony of spies I keep my ear to the ground
В этой симфонии шпионов я держу ухо востро.
Stave, crochet and quaver
Нотный стан, крючок и восьмая нота
Under the editor's scrawl
под каракулями редактора.
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
Молоточек, стремечко и наковальня под контролем государства.
An operetta for our leader
Оперетта для нашего лидера,
A quartet for the drawer
квартет для ящика стола.
He gets the rank cantatas
Он получает хвалебные кантаты,
And I keep the score
а я веду счёт.
A libretto for the death camps
Либретто для лагерей смерти,
Some day you'll hear them all
когда-нибудь ты услышишь их все.
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
Молоточек, стремечко и наковальня под контролем государства.
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
Молоточек, стремечко и наковальня под контролем государства.

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.
