Lyrics and translation Freddie Mercury - In My Defence (1986 album version)
In
my
defence
what
is
there
to
say
Что
я
могу
сказать
в
свое
оправдание
All
the
mistakes
we
made
must
be
faced
today
Все
ошибки,
которые
мы
совершили,
должны
быть
исправлены
сегодня.
It's
not
easy
now
knowing
where
to
start
Теперь
нелегко
понять
с
чего
начать
While
the
world
we
love
tears
itself
apart
В
то
время
как
мир,
который
мы
любим,
разрывается
на
части.
I'm
just
a
singer
with
a
song
Я
просто
певец
с
песней.
How
can
I
try
to
right
the
wrong
Как
я
могу
попытаться
исправить
ошибки?
For
just
a
singer
with
a
melody
Просто
певец
с
мелодией.
I'm
caught
in
between
Я
застрял
между
ними.
With
a
fading
dream
С
угасающей
мечтой
In
my
defence
what
is
there
to
say
Что
я
могу
сказать
в
свое
оправдание
We
destroy
the
love
- it's
our
way
Мы
разрушаем
любовь
- это
наш
путь.
We
never
listen
enough
never
face
the
truth
Мы
никогда
не
слушаем
достаточно,
никогда
не
смотрим
правде
в
глаза.
Then
like
a
passing
song
Затем,
как
мимолетная
песня.
Love
is
here
and
then
it's
gone
Любовь
здесь,
а
потом
ее
нет.
I'm
just
a
singer
with
a
song
Я
просто
певец
с
песней.
How
can
I
try
to
right
the
wrong
Как
я
могу
попытаться
исправить
ошибки?
For
just
a
singer
with
a
melody
Просто
певец
с
мелодией.
I'm
caught
in
between
Я
застрял
между
ними.
With
a
fading
dream
С
угасающей
мечтой
I'm
just
a
singer
with
a
song
Я
просто
певец
с
песней.
How

I'm
caught
in
between
with
a
fading
dream
Я
застрял
между
ними
с
угасающей
мечтой
Caught
in
between
with
a
fading
dream
Оказавшись
между
ними
с
угасающей
мечтой
Caught
in
between
with
a
fading
dream
Оказавшись
между
ними
с
угасающей
мечтой
Oh
what
on
earth
О
что
за
чертовщина
Oh
what
on
earth
О
что
за
чертовщина
How
do
I
try
Как
мне
попытаться
Do
we
live
or
die
Мы
живем
или
умираем
Oh
help
me
God
О
Боже
помоги
мне
Please
help
me
Пожалуйста
помоги
мне
