Lyrics and translation John Adams - Act III: "Peking Watches the Stars,"

Peking
watches
the
stars,
Пекин
наблюдает
за
звездами,
Nanking
slips
naked.
Нанкин
спит
обнаженный.
Murderers
stretch
out
in
doorways
in
Shanghai.
Убийцы
разлеглись
на
порогах
в
Шанхае.
Chungking's
old-fashioned
armory
lies
undefended.
Старомодный
арсенал
Чунцина
лежит
без
защиты.
Yenan
rests
like
a
wise
virgin.
Яньань
покоится,
словно
мудрая
дева.
All
the
coasts
are
clear,
Все
побережья
чисты,
And
all
the
oceans
still
as
we
ride
eastwards.
И
все
океаны
спокойны,
пока
мы
едем
на
восток.

As
we
ride
eastwards
to
Peking
Пока
мы
едем
на
восток,
в
Пекин,
I
shut
my
eyes
and,
listening
Я
закрываю
глаза
и,
прислушиваясь,
Hard,
hear
the
old
harmonium
Напряженно,
слышу
старый
фисгармонию,
We
left
behind,
I-I-I
dream
Который
мы
оставили
позади,
я-я-я
вижу
сон,
That
shoals
of
small
transparent
fish
Что
косяки
мелких
прозрачных
рыбок
Race
down
a
shallow
river.
Мчатся
вниз
по
мелкой
реке.
