Lyrics and translation Lee Dorsey - My Old Car

My Old Car

Моя старая тачка

Twenty long miles from town

В двадцати милях от города

My old car broke down

Моя старая тачка сломалась

The clutch is shot

Сцепление полетело

And the sound is so hot

И звук такой ужасный

Oh, what I′d give to be home

О, как бы я хотел быть дома

Nineteen miles from town

В девятнадцати милях от города

My old car broke down

Моя старая тачка сломалась

The battery's dead

Аккумулятор сел

Man, like I said

Как я и говорил, дорогая

Oh, what I′d give to be home

О, как бы я хотел быть дома

Eighteen miles from town

В восемнадцати милях от города

My old car broke down

Моя старая тачка сломалась

The fan belt's slipping

Ремень вентилятора проскальзывает

And the engine's missing

И двигатель троит

Oh, what I′d give to be home

О, как бы я хотел быть дома

Resting my bones

Косточки свои размять

Seventeen miles from town

В семнадцати милях от города

My old car broke down

Моя старая тачка сломалась

Just my luck, I′ve got

Вот же мне "повезло"

The fuel pump's stuck

Топливный насос заклинило

Oh, what I′d give to be home

О, как бы я хотел быть дома

When the sun's

Когда солнце

So high up in the sky

Так высоко в небе

And I′m trying to

А я пытаюсь

Get home to my baby

Добраться домой к моей малышке

When I get that far

Когда я доберусь

I'm gonna get rid of this car

Я избавлюсь от этой тачки

It′s got to go, it's got to go

Ей пора на свалку, ей пора на свалку

And I don't mean maybe

И я не шучу

Sixteen miles from town

В шестнадцати милях от города

My old short broke down

Моя старая колымага сломалась

My tire′s down and no spare around

Спустило колесо, а запаски нет

Oh, what I′d give to be home

О, как бы я хотел быть дома

Oh yeah

О, да

Fifteen miles from town

В пятнадцати милях от города

My old car broke down

Моя старая тачка сломалась

The battery's dead

Аккумулятор сел

Man, like I said

Как я и говорил, милая

Oh, what I′d give to be home

О, как бы я хотел быть дома

Fourteen miles from town

В четырнадцати милях от города

My old car broke down

Моя старая тачка сломалась
