Lyrics and translation King Crimson - The Night Watch - Live (Toronto Massey Hall: June 24th, 1974)




The Night Watch - Live (Toronto Massey Hall: June 24th, 1974)
Ночной дозор - запись с концерта (Торонто, Massey Hall: 24 июня, 1974)
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 у городских ворот, запечатлённый в свой лучший час.
The golden light all grimy now
Золотой свет теперь тускнеет,
300 years have passed
300 лет прошло с тех пор,
The worthy captain and his squad of troopers standing fast
Но бравый капитан и его отряд стрелков всё так же крепки.
The artist knew their faces well
Художник знал их лица,
Husbands of his lady friends
Мужей своих подруг,
His creditors and councillors
Кредиторов и советников,
In armour bright, the merchant men
В блестящих доспехах, торговцев знатных.
Official moments of the guild
Официальные лица гильдии,
In poses keen from bygone days
В важных позах минувших дней,
City fathers frozen there
Отцы города 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,
Turn those faces all to me
Поверни все эти лица ко мне,
Blunderbuss and halberd-shaft
Мушкетон и древко алебарды,
And Dutch respectability
И голландская респектабельность.
They make their entrance, one by one
Они появляются по одному,
Defenders of that way of life
Защитники того образа жизни,
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
Столько лет мы страдали,
Our country racked with Spanish wars
Наша страна была измучена войнами с Испанией,
Now comes a chance to find ourselves
Теперь появился шанс обрести себя,
Quiet reigns behind our doors
За нашими дверьми царит тишина.
Think about posterity again
Задумайтесь о потомках вновь.
So the pride of little men
И гордость маленьких людей,
The burghers good and true
Добрых и честных бюргеров,
Still living through the painter's hands
Всё ещё жива благодаря рукам художника,
Request you all to understand
Просит вас всех понять.
