Lyrics and translation Paul Kelly - Don't Harm the Messenger
One
day
you
might
hear
someone
knocking
Однажды
ты
услышишь
чей-то
стук.
Loudly
at
your
door
Громко
стучат
в
твою
дверь.
And
you
know
it
must
be
bad
news
И
ты
знаешь,
ЧТО
ЭТО,
должно
быть,
плохие
новости.
Absolutely
sure
Абсолютно
уверен
You
must
realise
before
you
Ты
должен
понять,
прежде
чем
...
Strike
the
very
first
blow
Нанеси
самый
первый
удар.
He's
the
one
who
only
tells
you
Он
тот,
кто
только
говорит
тебе.
What
you
already
know
Что
ты
уже
знаешь
Lay
not
a
finger
on
him
Не
трогай
его
пальцем.
Beat
not
oh
bruise
not
Не
бейте
о
не
бейте
His
skinny
skin
skin
Его
тощая
кожа
Кожа
No
don't
ever
harm
the
messenger
Нет
никогда
не
причиняй
вреда
посланнику
Understand
he
came
a
long
way
Пойми,
он
проделал
долгий
путь.
Only
on
a
lonely
road
Только
на
пустынной
дороге.
Multiplying
were
his
trials
Множились
его
испытания.
Heavy
was
his
load
Тяжела
была
его
ноша.
Understand
his
heart
was
breaking
Пойми,
его
сердце
разрывалось.
Never
once
did
he
sleep
Он
ни
разу
не
заснул.
And
no
hollow
log
kept
him
warm
И
ни
одно
полое
бревно
не
согревало
его.
No
council
did
he
keep
Никакого
совета
он
не
держал.
Give
him
food,
give
him
a
bed
Дайте
ему
поесть,
дайте
ему
постель.
Touch
not
one
single
hair
on
his
head
Не
трогай
ни
единого
волоска
на
его
голове.
No
don't
ever
harm
the
messenger
Нет
никогда
не
причиняй
вреда
посланнику
Don't
ever
harm
the
messenger
Никогда
не
причиняй
вреда
посланнику.
It
could
be
you
Это
мог
быть
ты.
