Roger Waters - Act 1: Scene 4: To Laugh Is to Know How to Live - translation of the lyrics into Russian




Act 1: Scene 4: To Laugh Is to Know How to Live
Акт 1: Сцена 4: Смеяться — значит знать, как жить
To laugh is to know how to live
Смеяться значит знать, как жить, дорогая моя.
To see is to know everything
Видеть значит знать всё на свете.
To read is to hold the key that you need
Читать значит держать в руках ключ, который тебе нужен,
The key you need to set you free
Ключ, который нужен, чтобы освободить тебя.
All the world can see that in this great library
Весь мир видит, что в этой великой библиотеке
There′s a good medicine against tyranny
Есть хорошее лекарство от тирании.
And the movement of the heavens
И движение небес,
Though it may last forever
Хотя оно может длиться вечно,
Sees no right, no wrong, no weak, no strong
Не видит ни правого, ни неправого, ни слабого, ни сильного.
And the star you see in the sky and the moon and the sun
И звезда, которую ты видишь на небе, и луна, и солнце
Shine on prince and pauper alike and favour no one
Светят одинаково и на принца, и на нищего, и никому не отдают предпочтения.
The politics of the Rights of Man
Политика прав человека
Is the sharing of apples with an even hand
это делить яблоки поровну.
TO plant a tree were birds my sit
Посадить дерево, где птицы могли бы сидеть...
But who in France will nurture it
Но кто во Франции будет за ним ухаживать?
