Lyrics and translation Jimmie Rodgers - The Sailor's Plea
Dear
sweetheart,
as
I
write
to
you
Дорогая,
пишу
тебе,
My
heart
is
filled
with
pain
И
сердце
полно
боли.
For
if
these
things
I
hear
are
true
Если
все,
что
слышу,
правда,
I'll
never
see
you
again
Тебя
мне
больше
не
увидеть.
They
tell
me,
darlin',
that
tonight
Говорят,
любимая,
сегодня
You'll
wed
another
man
Ты
выйдешь
за
другого.
But
if
you
do,
I'll
tell
you
true
Но
если
это
так,
поверь,
My
boat
will
never
land
Мой
корабль
не
вернется
в
порт.
You
promised
that
you
would
wait
for
me
Ты
обещала
ждать
меня,
That
nothin'
could
come
between
Что
ничто
нас
не
разлучит,
That
in
my
arms
someday
you'd
be
Что
в
моих
объятиях
будешь
ты
My
wife
and
lovely
queen
Женой
моей,
царицей.
I
builded
you
that
cozy
home
Я
построил
для
тебя
уютный
дом,
And
made
a
garden
there
Разбил
там
сад
прекрасный,
And
planted
too
with
my
own
hands
И
собственными
я
руками
Sweet
flowers
rich
and
rare
Посадил
цветы
для
счастья.
My
future
hopes
are
placed
in
you
Мои
надежды
все
с
тобой,
You've
been
my
guidin'
star
Ты
путеводная
звезда,
Please
write
and
tell
me
that
you're
true
Прошу,
напиши,
что
ты
верна
To
the
sailor
who
waits
afar
Моряку,
ждущему
тебя.
Just
tell
me
that
you
love
me
yet
Скажи,
что
любишь
ты
меня,
Still
long
to
be
my
wife
Что
хочешь
быть
моей
женой.
I'll
return
and
then
we'll
wed
Я
вернусь,
и
мы
поженимся,
And
live
a
happy
life
И
будем
жить
счастливо.
