Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - To a Little Radio




To a Little Radio
Маленькому радиоприемнику
Oh little box I carried in my flight
О, коробочка, что я берег в пути,
So as not to break the radio tubes inside me
Чтоб не повредить лампы внутри,
From house to boat from boat to train held tight
Из дома в лодку, с лодки на поезд – крепко сжимая,
So that my enemies could still address me
Чтоб враги могли ко мне обращаться,
Right where I slept and much to my dismay
Прямо там, где я спал, к моему сожалению,
Last thing each night and first thing everyday
Последнее, что слышал ночью, и первое – с рассветом,
About their victories
Об их победах,
Defeats for me
Моих поражениях,
Oh please do not fall silent suddenly
О, прошу, не замолкай внезапно,
Suddenly
Внезапно.

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.
