Lightnin' Hopkins - I Work Down On the Chain Gang (Live From Second Fret, Philadelphia, PA / May 17, 1962) - translation of the lyrics into Russian




I Work Down On the Chain Gang (Live From Second Fret, Philadelphia, PA / May 17, 1962)
Я работал на цепной бригаде (Живое выступление во Second Fret, Филадельфия, штат Пенсильвания / 17 мая 1962 г.)
Yeah you know I worked on the railroad
Да, милая, знаешь, я работал на железной дороге,
I even worked down on that chain gang
Я даже работал на цепной бригаде.
Yeah you know I worked on the railroad
Да, милая, знаешь, я работал на железной дороге,
Oh boy and I worked down on the chain gang
О, да, и я работал на цепной бригаде.
Yeah they put me in jail when it was raining
Да, они посадили меня в тюрьму, когда шел дождь,
Honey that was the best for me
Дорогая, это было лучшее для меня.
Throwed me in the jail when it was raining
Бросили меня в тюрьму, когда шел дождь,
Honey and that is the best for me
Дорогая, и это было лучшее для меня.
You know the jail kept me in [from] the wet
Знаешь, тюрьма укрыла меня от дождя,
I didn't have no place to stay, don't you know
Мне негде было остаться, понимаешь?
When I workin' on the chain gang,
Когда я работал на цепной бригаде,
Ball and chain all around my leg
Ядро и цепь были на моей ноге.
I was workin' on the chain gang,
Я работал на цепной бригаде,
Ball and chain all around my leg
Ядро и цепь были на моей ноге.
I said Please don't drive me too hard, I'm an old man
Я сказал: "Пожалуйста, не гоните меня слишком сильно, я старый человек".
They say We don't pay no attention to the age
Они сказали: "Мы не обращаем внимания на возраст".
He said Who sent you down here, boy
Он сказал: "Кто тебя сюда отправил, парень?
What did you break in this jail for?
За что ты попал в эту тюрьму?"
Who sent you down here, boy
Кто тебя сюда отправил, парень?
What did you break in this jail for?
За что ты попал в эту тюрьму?"
He say You look like a man would kill your mother
Он сказал: "Ты выглядишь как человек, который убил бы свою мать".
(And I believe he did)
я верю, что он это сделал)
Oh boy what did you kill that old woman for?
О, парень, за что ты убил эту старуху?
(A sad time, and I had to cry...)
(Печальное время, и мне пришлось плакать...)
I said mmmmmmm mister jailer,
Я сказал: "Ммммммм, господин тюремщик,
Will you please sir bring me the key
Не могли бы вы, пожалуйста, сэр, принести мне ключ?"
I said mmmmmmm mister jailer,
Я сказал: "Ммммммм, господин тюремщик,
Will you please sir bring me the key
Не могли бы вы, пожалуйста, сэр, принести мне ключ?"
I says I just want you to open the door
Я говорю: просто хочу, чтобы вы открыли дверь,
Cause this ain't no place for me
Потому что это не место для меня".
