Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - New York Song




First time in New York, just seventeen
Первый раз в Нью-Йорке, всего семнадцать.
In a motel full of poets, drunks and
В мотеле, полном поэтов, пьяниц и ...
Queens. I walk the city streets into the
Куинс. я иду по городским улицам в ...
Night to see Manhattan in the early
Ночь, чтобы увидеть Манхэттен рано утром.
Morning light. On the corner of a
Утренний свет на углу ...
Street they laugh and talk, the young
На улице они смеются и болтают, молодые.
Men watch me coming, block my walk;
Люди смотрят, как я иду, преграждают мне путь.
They see me slow right down - they
Они видят, как я замедляюсь - они
Know I don't belong. Then all at once
Я знаю, что мне здесь не место.
... they all break into song.
... все они разражаются песней.

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.
