Hank Williams - On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain - translation of the lyrics into Russian

Lyrics and translation Hank Williams - On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain




I traveled from Texas to old Louisanne
Я путешествовал из Техаса в старую Луизиану.
Through valleys, o'er mountains and plains
Через долины, через горы и равнины
Both footsore and weary, I rested a while
Измученный и уставший, я немного отдохнул.
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain
На берегах старого Пончартрейна.
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw
Самая прекрасная юная девушка, которую я когда-либо видел.
Passed by as it started to rain
Прошел мимо, когда начался дождь.
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree
Мы оба нашли убежище под одним деревом.
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain
На берегах старого Пончартрейна.
We hid from the shower an hour or so
Мы прятались от душа час или около того.
She asked me how long I'd remain
Она спросила, как долго я останусь.
I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days
Я сказал ей, что проведу здесь остаток своих дней.
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain
На берегах старого Пончартрейна.
I just couldn't tell her that I ran away
Я просто не мог сказать ей, что сбежал.
From jail on a West Texas plain
Из тюрьмы на равнине Западного Техаса.
I prayed in my heart I would never be found
В глубине души я молился, чтобы меня никогда не нашли.
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain
На берегах старого Пончартрейна.
Then one day, a man put his hand on my arm
И вот однажды мужчина положил руку мне на плечо.
And said I must go west again
И сказал, что я должен снова отправиться на Запад.
I left her alone without saying goodbye
Я оставил ее одну, не попрощавшись.
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain
На берегах старого Пончартрейна.
Tonight, as I sit here alone in my cell
Сегодня вечером, когда я сижу здесь один в своей камере.
I know that she's waiting in vain
Я знаю, что она ждет напрасно.
I'm hoping and praying someday to return
Я надеюсь и молюсь, чтобы когда-нибудь вернуться.
To the banks of the old Pontchartrain
К берегам старого Пончартрейна.
