Johnny Horton - The Sinking of the Reuben James - translation of the lyrics into Russian




The Sinking of the Reuben James
Гибель «Рубена Джеймса»
(Almanac Singers)
(Альманах Сингерс)
What were their names, tell me what were their names
Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
What were their names, tell me what were their names
Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James?
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
Have you heard of a ship they called that good Reuben James
Слышала ли ты о корабле, что звался славный «Рубен Джеймс»?
Stand by, hard figting men fought for honor and fame
Стойкие, мужественные люди сражались за честь и славу.
She flew the stars and stripes of the land of the free
Он нес звёзды и полосы земли свободных,
But tonight she′s on her grave at the bottom of the sea.
Но сегодня ночью он покоится в морской могиле.
(Now tell me) what were their names, tell me what were their names
(Теперь скажи мне) Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
What were their names, tell me what were their names
Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James?
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?

--- Инструментальная часть ---
It was there in the dark of that uncertain night
Там, в темноте той неизвестной ночи,
That we waited for your holds and waited for that fight
Мы ждали в трюмах и ждали боя.
Then a whine and a rock and the great explosion roared
Потом свист, толчок и мощный взрыв прогремел,
And they laid Good Reuben James on that cold ocean floor.
И упокоился славный «Рубен Джеймс» на холодном океанском дне.
(Now tell me) what were their names, tell me what were their names
(Теперь скажи мне) Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
What were their names, tell me what were their names
Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James?
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
--- Instrumental ---
--- Инструментальная часть ---
Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright
Сегодня ночью огни в нашей стране так ярко горят,
On the farms and the cities they're tellin′ of that fight
На фермах и в городах говорят об этом бое.
And now our mighty battle ship will sail the Bangor Maine
И теперь наш могучий линкор будет плавать по Бангор-Мэн,
And remember the name of that Good Reauben James.
И помнить имя славного «Рубена Джеймса».
(Now tell me) what were their names, tell me what were their names
(Теперь скажи мне) Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
What were their names, tell me what were their names
Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James?
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
(Now tell me) what were their names, tell me what were their names
(Теперь скажи мне) Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?
What were their names, tell me what were their names
Как их звали, скажи мне, как их звали,
Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James?...
Был ли у тебя друг на славном «Рубене Джеймсе»?...
