Lyrics and translation Harry Belafonte - Muleskinner

Muleskinner

погонщик мулов

Good mornin′ Captain, Good mornin' sun

Доброе утро, Капитан, доброе утро, солнышко!

Oh well it′s good mornin' captain, Good mornin' sun

О, да, доброе утро, Капитан, доброе утро, солнышко!

Don′t you need another Mule skinner out on your new mule run

Не нужен ли вам ещё один погонщик мулов на вашем новом маршруте?

I like to work, I′m rollin' all the time

Я люблю работать, я всё время в движении, милая.

Oh well now I like to work, rollin′ all the time

О, да, я люблю работать, всё время в движении.

I can carve my initials on any old mule's behind

Я могу вырезать свои инициалы на заду любого старого мула.

Hey there little water boy

Эй, там, мальчишка-водонос!

Bring your bucket Âround

Неси свой бачок сюда.

Oh well, It′s hey there little water boy

О, да, эй, там, мальчишка-водонос!

Bring your bucket Âround

Неси свой бачок сюда.

If you don't like your job

Если тебе не нравится твоя работа,

Better lay that bucket down

Лучше брось этот бачок.

Workin′ on the new road

Работаю на новой дороге,

Got a dollar and a dime a day

Получаю доллар и десять центов в день.

Oh well, I'm workin' on the new road

О, да, работаю на новой дороге,

Dollar and a dime a day

Доллар и десять центов в день.

I got sixteen women

У меня шестнадцать женщин,

Waitin′ for to get my pay

Которые ждут моей зарплаты.
