Chumbawamba - When Alexander Met Emma

Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - When Alexander Met Emma




From the Bowery to old Suffolk Street
От Бауэри до старой Саффолк-стрит.
A five dollar bill in her pocket
Пятидолларовая купюра в ее кармане.
And a worldful of people to meet
И целый мир людей, с которыми нужно встретиться.
Ships rigging up in the Hudson
Корабли на Гудзоне.
Waiting for love to set sail
Жду, когда Любовь поднимет паруса.
Emma she tells Alexander
Эмма говорит она Александру
"I'll be there when you walk from the jail"
"Я буду рядом, когда ты выйдешь из тюрьмы".
"Take my hand. I'll take yours.
"Возьми мою руку.
Save my life. I'll save yours."
Спаси мою жизнь, а я спасу твою.
Newspaper talk turns to headlines
Газетные разговоры превращаются в заголовки.
A love so cemented in fame
Любовь, зацементированная славой.
A word to the strike-breaking bosses
Слово боссам, нарушающим закон.
Propaganda in deed and in name
Пропаганда на деле и на словах
Fourteen long years on the island
Четырнадцать долгих лет на острове.
It's a lifetime of summers to wait
Ждать лета-целая жизнь.
And Emma, she meets Alexander
И Эмма, она встречает Александра.
As they unlock the last prison gate
Они отпирают последние тюремные ворота.
"Take my hand. I'll take yours.
"Возьми мою руку.
Save my life. I'll save yours."
Спаси мою жизнь, а я спасу твою.

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.
