Banks Are Made of Marble - Pete Seegertranslation in Russian

Banks Are Made of Marble

Банки сделаны из мрамора

I′ve traveled 'round this country

Я путешествовал по этой стране,

From shore to shining shore

От берега до берега сияющего,

It really made me wonder-

И это заставило меня задуматься -

The things I heard and saw!

О том, что я увидел и услышал!

I saw the weary farmer

Я видел измученного фермера,

A-plowing sod and loam

Пашущего землю и дерн,

I heard the auction hammer

Я слышал молоток аукциониста,

Just a-knocking down his home

Который отнимал его дом.

But the banks are made of marble

Но банки сделаны из мрамора,

With a guard at every door

С охранником у каждой двери,

And the vaults are stuffed with silver

И хранилища полны серебра,

That the farmer sweated for

Которое фермер добывал своим потом.

I′ve seen the seamen standing

Я видел моряков, стоящих

Idly by the shore

Без дела на берегу,

And I've heard their bosses saying

И я слышал, как их боссы говорили:

"Got no work for you no more"

"У нас больше нет для вас работы".

But the banks are made of marble

Но банки сделаны из мрамора,

With a guard at every door

С охранником у каждой двери,

And the vaults are stuffed with silver

И хранилища полны серебра,

That the seamen sweated for

Которое моряки добывали своим потом.

I've seen the weary miner

Я видел измученного шахтера,

Scrubbing coal dust from his back

Смывающего угольную пыль со спины,

And I′ve heard his children crying

И я слышал, как плачут его дети,

Got no coal to heat the shack

Потому что нет угля, чтобы обогреть лачугу.

But the banks are made of marble

Но банки сделаны из мрамора,

With a guard at every door

С охранником у каждой двери,

And the vaults are stuffed with silver

И хранилища полны серебра,

That the miner sweated for

Которое шахтер добывал своим потом.

I′ve seen my brothers working

Я видел, как мои братья работают

Throughout this mighty land

По всей этой могучей земле,

I've prayed we′d get together

Я молился, чтобы мы объединились

And together make a stand

И вместе выступили.

Then we might own those banks of marble

Тогда эти мраморные банки могли бы стать нашими,

With a guard at every door

С охранником у каждой двери,

And we would share those vaults of silver

И мы бы разделили эти хранилища серебра,

That we have sweated for

Которое мы добывали своим потом.
