Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Refugee




Refugee
Беженец
It's good of you to ask me sir
Хорошо, что вы спросили, сударыня,
How I spend my days
Как проходят мои дни.
Water glass and ladders sir
Стакан воды и лестницы, сударыня,
Working for my pay
Работаю за гроши.
Back home I saw a future sir
Дома я видел будущее, сударыня,
Learnt my father's trade But here that counts for nothing sir
Освоил ремесло отца. Но здесь это ничего не значит, сударыня,
Paradise betrayed
Разрушенный рай.
Looking through the windows
Смотрю сквозь окна,
All your world to see
Вижу весь ваш мир.
To you I'm just another refugee
Для вас я всего лишь очередной беженец.
My mother needs the money sir
Моей матери нужны деньги, сударыня,
It's hard to make ends meet
Трудно свести концы с концами.
Two more children still in school
Еще двое детей в школе,
Hungry mouths to feed
Голодные рты нужно кормить.
Looking through the windows
Смотрю сквозь окна,
All your world to see
Вижу весь ваш мир.
To you I'm just another refugee
Для вас я всего лишь очередной беженец.
Now this country is my home
Теперь эта страна мой дом,
This land of auctioneers
Эта страна аукционистов.
Cast your eye upon me sir
Взгляните на меня, сударыня,
What price the dreams that brought me here?
Какова цена мечтам, что привели меня сюда?
Looking through the windows
Смотрю сквозь окна,
All your world to see
Вижу весь ваш мир.
Forever just another refugee.
Навсегда всего лишь 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.
