Lyrics and translation Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Swimming Song - Remastered

Swimming Song - Remastered

Песня о плавании - Ремастированная версия

This summer I went swimming

Этим летом я плавала,

This summer I might have drowned

Этим летом я чуть не утонула,

But I held my breath, kicked my feet

Но я задержала дыхание, дрыгала ногами

And I moved my arms around,

И двигала руками,

Moved my arms around

Двигала руками.

This summer I did the backstroke

Этим летом я плавала на спине,

And you know that that's not all

И ты знаешь, это еще не все,

I did the breaststroke, the butterfly

Я плавала брассом, баттерфляем

And the old Australian Crawl

И старым австралийским кролем,

The old Australian Crawl

Старым австралийским кролем.

This summer I swam in a public place

Этим летом я плавала в общественном месте

And a reservoir to boot

И в водохранилище в придачу,

At the latter I was informal

В последнем я была без церемоний,

At the former I wore my suit

В первом я надела купальник,

I wore my swimming suit

Я надела свой купальник.

This summer I did swan-dives

Этим летом я прыгала "ласточкой",

And jack-knives for you all

И "ножом" для вас всех,

And once when you weren't looking

И однажды, когда ты не смотрел,

I did a cannon-ball

Я сделала "бомбочку",

Did a cannon-ball.

Сделала "бомбочку".
