Roger Waters - Act 1: Scene 2: Kings, Sticks and Birds - translation of the lyrics into Russian




Act 1: Scene 2: Kings, Sticks and Birds
Акт 1: Сцена 2: Короли, палки и птицы
Ladies and gentlemen
Дамы и господа,
Imagine a bird on song in a tree
Представь себе птицу, поющую на дереве,
An ordinary bird like you or like me
Обычную птицу, как ты или как я.
Imagine some ruffian happening by
Представь, какой-то хулиган проходит мимо
And beating him within an inch of his life
И избивает её почти до смерти.
Ahh!
Ах!
Then a priest from some denomination
Затем священник какой-то конфессии,
Witnessing this abomination
Став свидетелем этого злодеяния,
Blesses not the bird but the beast
Благословляет не птицу, а зверя.
The unknown soldier appears on the field
Неизвестный солдат появляется на поле
And takes the bird′s feathers to put on his shield
И берёт перья птицы, чтобы украсить свой щит.
Then a powerful judge from the high court
Затем могущественный судья из высшего суда
Decrees that the birds really ought
Постановляет, что птицам вообще-то не следует
Not be allowed to sing in the trees
Разрешать петь на деревьях.
But then one day
Но однажды
Some of the priests and soldiers and judges
Некоторые из священников, солдат и судей,
Putting aside some old worn grudges
Оставив позади старые застарелые обиды,
Changes their minds and the birds sang again
Передумали, и птицы снова запели.
It was the revolution
Это была революция.
The revolution is a story of birds
Революция это история о птицах,
Of sticks and stones and bushes and bones
О палках и камнях, кустах и костях,
A story of now, a story of then
История настоящего, история прошлого,
A story of woman, a story of men
История женщины, история мужчины,
A story of everything to come
История всего, что грядет,
Of everything under the sun
Обо всем под солнцем.
