Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Refugee




It's good of you to ask me sir
Хорошо что вы спросили меня сэр
How I spend my days
Как я провожу свои дни?
Water glass and ladders sir
Стакан с водой и лестницы сэр
Working for my pay
Работаю за свою зарплату.
Back home I saw a future sir
Вернувшись домой я увидел будущее сэр
Learnt my father's trade But here that counts for nothing sir
Учился ремеслу своего отца но здесь это ничего не значит сэр
Paradise betrayed
Рай предан.
Looking through the windows
Смотрю в окна.
All your world to see
Весь твой мир, чтобы увидеть.
To you I'm just another refugee
Для тебя я просто очередной беженец.
My mother needs the money sir
Моей матери нужны деньги сэр
It's hard to make ends meet
Трудно сводить концы с концами
Two more children still in school
Еще двое детей все еще в школе.
Hungry mouths to feed
Голодные рты, которых нужно кормить.
Looking through the windows
Смотрю в окна.
All your world to see
Весь твой мир, чтобы увидеть.
To you I'm just another refugee
Для тебя я просто очередной беженец.
Now this country is my home
Теперь эта страна-мой дом.
This land of auctioneers
Это земля аукционистов.
Cast your eye upon me sir
Взгляните на меня сэр
What price the dreams that brought me here?
Какова цена мечтам, которые привели меня сюда?
Looking through the windows
Смотрю в окна.
All your world to see
Весь твой мир, чтобы увидеть.
Forever just another refugee.
Навсегда - просто очередной беженец.

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.
