Lyrics and translation Lonnie Donegan - The Grand Coulee Dam [Pye-Nixa single]




The Grand Coulee Dam [Pye-Nixa single]
Гранд-Кули [Сингл Pye-Nixa]
Now the world holds seven wonders
В мире есть семь чудес,
That the travellers always tell
О которых говорят путешественники,
Some gardens and some towers,
Сады и башни,
I guess you know them well
Думаю, ты их хорошо знаешь.
But now the greatest wonder
Но теперь величайшее чудо
Is in Uncle Sam's fair land
Находится в прекрасной земле Дяди Сэма,
It's the big Columbia River
Это большая река Колумбия
And the big Grand Coulee Dam
И большая плотина Гранд-Кули.
She heads up the Canadian Rockies
Она берет начало в Канадских Скалистых горах,
Where the rippling waters glide
Где струятся воды,
Comes a-roaring down the canyon
С ревом несется вниз по каньону,
For to meet that salty tide
Чтобы встретить соленый прилив
Of the big Pacific Ocean
Большого Тихого океана,
Where the sun sinks in the west
Где солнце садится на западе,
In the big Grand Coulee country
В великой стране Гранд-Кули,
In the land I love the best
В стране, которую я люблю больше всего.
In the misty crystal glitter
В туманном хрустальном блеске
Of the wild and windward spray
Диких и ветреных брызг
Men have fought the pounding waters
Люди боролись с бурлящими водами
And met a watery grave
И нашли там водную могилу.
Why, she tore their boats to splinters
Она разбивала их лодки в щепки,
But she gave men dreams to dream
Но давала людям мечты,
Of the day the Coulee Dam
О том дне, когда плотина Кули
Would cross that wild and wasted stream
Пересечет этот дикий и бесполезный поток.
Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge
Дядя Сэм принял вызов
In the year of thirty three
В тридцать третьем году,
For the farmer and the factory
Для фермера и завода
And all of you and me
И для всех нас с тобой.
He said, "Roll along Columbia,
Он сказал: "Катись, Колумбия,
You can roll down to the sea
Ты можешь катиться к морю,
But river, while you're rambling
Но, река, пока ты странствуешь,
You can do some work for me."
Ты можешь поработать на меня".
In the misty crystal glitter
В туманном хрустальном блеске
Of the wild and windward spray
Диких и ветреных брызг
Men have fought the pounding waters
Люди боролись с бурлящими водами
And met a watery grave
И нашли там водную могилу.
Why, she tore their boats to splinters
Она разбивала их лодки в щепки,
But she gave men dreams to dream
Но давала людям мечты,
Of the day the Coulee Dam
О том дне, когда плотина Кули
Would cross that wild and wasted stream
Пересечет этот дикий и бесполезный поток.
Now from Washington and Oregon
Теперь из Вашингтона и Орегона
You can hear the factories hum
Ты можешь слышать гул заводов,
Making chrome and making manganese
Производящих хром и марганец
And white aluminum
И белый алюминий.
Now the roar of the Flying Fortress
Теперь рев "Летающей крепости",
For to fight for Uncle Sam
Чтобы сражаться за Дядю Сэма,
On the howling King Columbia
На воющей реке Колумбия
By the big Grand Coulee Dam
У большой плотины Гранд-Кули.
In the misty crystal glitter
В туманном хрустальном блеске
Of the wild and windward spray
Диких и ветреных брызг
Men have fought the pounding waters
Люди боролись с бурлящими водами
And met a watery grave
И нашли там водную могилу.
Why, she tore their boats to splinters
Она разбивала их лодки в щепки,
But she gave men dreams to dream
Но давала людям мечты,
Of the day the Coulee Dam
О том дне, когда плотина Кули
Would cross that wild and wasted stream
Пересечет этот дикий и бесполезный поток.
Now the world holds seven wonders
В мире есть семь чудес,
That the travellers always tell
О которых говорят путешественники,
Some gardens and some towers,
Сады и башни,
Why, I guess you know them well
Думаю, ты их хорошо знаешь.
But now the greatest wonder
Но теперь величайшее чудо
Is in Uncle Sam's fair land
Находится в прекрасной земле Дяди Сэма,
It's the big Columbia River
Это большая река Колумбия
And the big Grand Coulee Dam.
И большая плотина Гранд-Кули.
