Nina Simone - Mr. Bojangles (Live) [Remastered] - translation of the lyrics into Russian




Mr. Bojangles (Live) [Remastered]
Мистер Боджанглз (концертная запись) [ремастеринг]
I knew a man Bojangles
Я знала одного человека, Боджанглза,
And he danced for you
И он танцевал для тебя,
In worn out shoes
В стоптанных башмаках.
With silver hair, a ragged shirt
С седыми волосами, в рваной рубашке
And baggy pants, the old soft shoe
И мешковатых штанах, старые добрые чечетки.
He jumped so high, he jumped so high
Он прыгал так высоко, он прыгал так высоко,
Then he lightly touched down
А потом легко приземлялся.
I met him in a cell in New Orleans
Я встретила его в камере в Новом Орлеане,
I was down and out
Я была на дне.
He looked at me to be the eyes of age
Он смотрел на меня глазами прожитых лет,
As he spoke right out
Когда прямо говорил.
He talked of life, he talked of life
Он говорил о жизни, он говорил о жизни,
He laughed, slapped his leg a step
Он смеялся, хлопал себя по ноге в такт.
He said his name, Bojangles
Он назвал свое имя, Боджанглз,
And he danced a lick across the cell
И станцевал немного посреди камеры.
He grabbed his pants
Он схватился за штаны
In fettered stance
В скованной позе,
Oh, he jumped up high
О, он подпрыгнул высоко,
Then he clicked his heels
А потом щелкнул каблуками.
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh
Он рассмеялся, он рассмеялся,
Shook back his clothes all around
Встряхнул одежду.
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
Мистер Боджанглз, мистер Боджанглз,
Mr. Bojangles, dance!
Мистер Боджанглз, танцуй!
He danced for those
Он танцевал для тех,
At minstrel shows and county fairs
Кто приходил на менестрель-шоу и ярмарки,
Throughout the south
По всему Югу.
He spoke with tears of 15 years
Со слезами он рассказывал о 15 годах,
How his dog and him traveled about
О том, как он и его собака путешествовали.
His dog up and died, he up and died
Его собака умерла, она умерла,
After 20 years he still grieves
Спустя 20 лет он все еще скорбит.
He said I dance now
Он сказал, что теперь танцует
At every chance in honky tonks
При каждом удобном случае в забегаловках,
For drink and tips
За выпивку и чаевые.
But most of the time
Но большую часть времени
I spend behind these county bars
Я провожу за решеткой в этих окружных тюрьмах,
'Cause I drinks a bit
Потому что я немного выпиваю.
He shook his head
Он покачал головой,
And as he shook his head
И когда он покачал головой,
I heard someone ask him
Я услышала, как кто-то попросил его:
Please, please
Пожалуйста, пожалуйста,
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
Мистер Боджанглз, мистер Боджанглз,
Mr. Bojangles, dance!
Мистер Боджанглз, танцуй!
