Nero Played His Fiddle (While Rome Burnt)

Roy Acuff




Nero Played His Fiddle (While Rome Burnt)
Нерон играл на скрипке (пока Рим горел)
Nero was a king, you know,
Нерон был царь, знаешь ли,
Many many years ago.
Много-много лет назад.
Nero loved his music, so
Нерон любил музыку свою,
Bought a fiddle and a bow.
Купил скрипку и смычок.
Room enough for Nero,
Места хватало для Нерона,
No, he never was a hero!
Нет, он не был героем!
Rome was burnt to zero,
Рим сгорел дотла,
Still he fiddled away!
А он всё играл!
To his soldiers he said, "I'm
Своим солдатам он сказал: "Я
Busy having a big time!
Занят, провожу время на славу!
With my Latin in jig time,
С моей латынью в ритме джига,
What survives today?".
Что дожило до наших дней?".
So Nero never went to town
Так Нерон и не поехал в город,
While Rome was burnin' down.
Пока Рим горел дотла.
They watched him, in dismay,
Они смотрели на него в ужасе,
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle away!
Играл, играл, играл!
Oh, Rome meant nothin' to Nero,
О, Рим ничего не значил для Нерона,
He was never a hero!
Он не был героем!
He must have been a zero,
Он, должно быть, был никем,
'Cause he fiddled away!
Потому что он всё играл!
Now listen!
Теперь слушай!
Nero spent some of his dough
Нерон потратил часть своих деньжат
For a fiddle and a bow.
На скрипку и смычок.
That's how Nero made his name,
Вот так Нерон сделал себе имя,
Landed in the Hall Of Fame.
Попал в Зал Славы.
Come on Nero!
Давай, Нерон!
(Yes!)
(Да!)
(Oh stop, Nero, you fiddling now, don't do that!)
(О, остановись, Нерон, ты сейчас играешь, не делай этого!)
(Yes! ha-ha!)
(Да! Ха-ха!)
Rome meant nothin' to Nero,
Рим ничего не значил для Нерона,
He never was a hero!
Он не был героем!
Rome fell to zero,
Рим пал до нуля,
'Cause he fiddled away!
Потому что он всё играл!
Nero spent some of his dough,
Нерон потратил часть своих деньжат,
Fiddle and a bow.
На скрипку и смычок.
That's how he made his name,
Вот так он сделал себе имя,
Landed in the Hall Of Fame.
Попал в Зал Славы.
(Come here Nero, I gotcha!)
(Иди сюда, Нерон, я тебя поймал!)
