Lyrics and translation John Wetton - The Night Watch (Live at Grona Lund Sweden 1998)




The Night Watch (Live at Grona Lund Sweden 1998)
Ночной дозор (Живое выступление в парке развлечений Gröna Lund, Швеция, 1998)
Shine, shine, the light of good works shine
Сияй, сияй, свет добрых дел сияй,
The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime
Дозор перед городскими вратами, изображенный в расцвете сил,
That golden light all grimy now
Тот золотой свет теперь потускнел,
Three hundred years have passed
Три сотни лет прошли,
The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast
Достойный капитан и его отряд солдат стойко стоят.
The artist knew their faces well
Художник хорошо знал их лица,
The husbands of his lady friends
Мужей его подруг,
His creditors and councillors
Его кредиторов и советников,
In armour bright, the merchant men
В блестящих доспехах, торговцев.
Official moments of the guild
Официальные моменты гильдии,
In poses keen from bygone days
В изысканных позах прошлых дней,
The city fathers frozen there
Городские отцы застыли там,
Upon the canvas dark with age
На холсте, потемневшем от времени.
The smell of paint, a flask of wine
Запах краски, фляга вина,
And turn those faces all to me
И поверните эти лица ко мне,
The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft
Мушкетон и древко алебарды,
And Dutch respectability
И голландская респектабельность.
They make their entrance one by one
Они появляются один за другим,
Defenders of that way of life
Защитники того образа жизни,
The redbrick home, the bourgeoisie
Дом из красного кирпича, буржуазия,
Guitar lessons for the wife
Уроки игры на гитаре для жены.
So many years we suffered here
Так много лет мы страдали здесь,
Our country racked with Spanish wars
Наша страна измучена испанскими войнами,
Now comes a chance to find ourselves
Теперь появился шанс найти себя,
And quiet reigns behind our doors
И тишина царит за нашими дверями.
We think about posterity again
Мы снова думаем о потомстве.
And so the pride of little men
И вот гордость маленьких людей,
The burghers good and true
Добрых и верных бюргеров,
Still living through the painter's hand
Все еще живущих рукой художника,
Request you all to understand
Просит вас всех понять.
