Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - The Triumph of Teneral Ludd




The Triumph of Teneral Ludd
Триумф генерала Ладда
No more chant your old rhymes about old Robin Hood
Хватит петь старые песни о Робин Гуде,
His feats I do little admire
Его подвиги меня мало восхищают.
I'll sing the achievements of General Ludd
Я спою о деяниях генерала Ладда,
Now the hero of Nottingham Shire
Настоящего героя графства Ноттингем.
Those engines of mischief were sentenced to die
Эти дьявольские машины были приговорены к смерти
By unanimous vote of the trade
Единогласным решением ремесленников,
And Ludd who cannot a position defy
И Ладд, не терпящий неповиновения,
Was the grand executioner made
Был назначен главным палачом.
Whether guarded by soldiers along the highway
Охраняются ли они солдатами на большой дороге
Or closely secured in a room
Или надёжно заперты в комнате,
He shivers them up by night and by day
Он уничтожает их и днём, и ночью,
And nothing can soften their doom
И ничто не может смягчить их участь.
Shall the whole team of humble no longer oppressed
Перестанут ли простые рабочие страдать от гнёта
And shall Ludd sheath his conquering sword
И вложит ли Ладд в ножны свой победный меч,
Be his grievance instantly met with redress
Если их жалобам немедленно будет дан ответ,
Than peace shall be quickly restored
Тогда мир будет быстро восстановлен.
Let the wise and the great lend their aid and advice
Пусть мудрые и великие окажут свою помощь и совет,
Never ere their assistance withdraw
И не прекращают своей поддержки,
Till full-fashioned work at the old-fashioned price
Пока качественная работа по старой цене
Is established by custom and law
Не будет установлена обычаем и законом.

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.
