Lyrics and translation Pete Seeger - Cotton Mill Colic
When
you
go
to
work
well
you
work
like
the
devil
Пашешь,
как
проклятый,
милая,
At
the
end
of
the
week
you're
not
on
the
level
А
в
конце
недели
— опять
ни
шиша,
Payday
comes,
you
ain't
got
a
penny
День
зарплаты,
а
в
кармане
пусто,
'Cause
when
you
pay
your
bills
you
got
so
many
Ведь
счета
оплатил,
и
денег
не
густо.
I'm
a-gonna
starve
and
everybody
will
Голодать
нам,
родная,
суждено,
'Cause
you
can't
make
a
livin'
in
a
cotton
mill
На
хлопковой
фабрике
жить
не
дано.
When
you
buy
clothes
on
easy
terms
Купишь
одежду
в
рассрочку,
Collector
treats
you
like
a
measly
worm
Сборщик
долгов
— как
червячок,
One
dollar
down
and
the
Lord
knows
Доллар
первый
взнос,
а
дальше
— кто
знает,
If
you
can't
make
a
payment,
they
take
your
clothes
Не
заплатишь
— одежду
отбирают.
I'm
a-gonna
starve
and
everybody
will
Голодать
нам,
родная,
суждено,
'Cause
you
can't
make
a
livin'
in
a
cotton
mill
На
хлопковой
фабрике
жить
не
дано.
Payday
comes,
you
pay
your
rent
День
зарплаты
— платишь
за
жилье,
End
of
the
week
you
ain't
got
a
cent
К
концу
недели
— ни
цента
в
кошельке,
To
buy
fat-backed
meat,
pinto
beans
Чтобы
купить
сало
да
фасоль,
Cook
up
a
mess
o'
turnip
greens
Сварить
похлебку
из
листьев
репы,
соль.
I'm
a-gonna
starve
and
everybody
will
Голодать
нам,
родная,
суждено,
'Cause
you
can't
make
a
livin'
in
a
cotton
mill
На
хлопковой
фабрике
жить
не
дано.
Ashes
to
ashes
and
dust
to
dust
Прах
к
праху,
и
прах
еси,
Let
the
rich
man
live
and
the
poor
man
bust
Пусть
богач
живет,
а
бедняк
— пропади,
We'll
never
make
it,
we
never
will
Нам
не
выбиться,
дорогая
моя,
As
long
as
we
work
in
a
rounding
mill
Пока
на
фабрике
работаю
я.
I'm
a-gonna
starve
and
everybody
will
Голодать
нам,
родная,
суждено,
'Cause
you
can't
make
a
livin'
in
a
cotton
mill
На
хлопковой
фабрике
жить
не
дано.
