Lyrics and translation Joe Brown - A Satisfied Mind

A Satisfied Mind

Удовлетворенный разум

How many times have you heard someone say

Сколько раз ты слышала, как кто-то говорил:

"If I had his money, I could do things my way?"

"Будь у меня его деньги, я бы жил по-своему?"

Little they know that it's so hard to find

Они не знают, как трудно найти

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Одного богача из десяти с душой спокойной.

Once I was winning in fortune and fame

Когда-то я был на коне, в богатстве и славе,

Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game

Было все, о чем мечтал, чтоб начать эту игру,

Suddenly it happened, I lost every dime

Но вдруг все изменилось, я потерял каждый цент,

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Но стал богаче во много раз, обретя спокойствие души.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old

Деньми молодость не вернешь, когда постареешь,

Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold

Не купишь друга, когда одинок, или любовь, что остыла.

The wealthiest person is a pauper at times

Самый богатый, бывает, нищим себя ощущает,

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

По сравнению с тем, у кого душа спокойна.

When my life is ended, my time has run out

Когда жизнь подойдет к концу, и время мое истечет,

My trials and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt

Мои испытания и близких, не оставлю их в беде,

But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time

Но одно могу сказать точно, когда придет мой черед,

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

Я покину этот мир с душой спокойной.

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

Я покину этот мир с душой спокойной.
