The Carter Family - Engine One-Forty-Three (Remastered) - translation of the lyrics into Russian




Engine One-Forty-Three (Remastered)
Паровоз номер сто сорок три (Ремастеринг)
Along came the FFV, the swiftest on the line
Прибыл скорый почтовый, самый быстрый на линии,
Running o'er the C & O road just 20 minutes behind
Мчась по дороге C & O, всего на 20 минут отстав.
Running into Seville headquarters on the line
Прибыв в Севилью, в штаб-квартиру на линии,
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind
Получая чёткие приказы со станции позади.
Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm
Мать Джорджи подошла к нему с ведром в руке,
Saying, my darling son, be careful how you run
Говоря: "Сынок мой дорогой, будь осторожен в пути.
For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time
Ибо многие мужчины погибли, пытаясь наверстать упущенное время,
And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time
И если ты будешь вести свой паровоз правильно, то доберёшься вовремя".
Up the road she darted, against the rocks she crashed
Вверх по дороге он помчался, о скалы он разбился,
Upside-down the engine turned, and Georgie's breast it smashed
Паровоз перевернулся, и грудь Джорджи раздавило.
His head was against the firebox door, the flames were rolling high
Голова его была у топки, пламя поднималось высоко,
I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the C & O road
«Я рад, что родился машинистом, чтобы умереть на дороге C & O».
The doctor said to Georgie, my darling boy, be still
Доктор сказал Джорджи: "Мой дорогой мальчик, успокойся,
Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will
Твоя жизнь ещё может быть спасена, если на то будет Божья воля".
Oh, no, said Georgie, that will not do, I want to die so free
«О, нет, - сказал Джорджи, - так не пойдёт, я хочу умереть свободным.
I want to die for the engine I love, one hundred and forty-three
Я хочу умереть за паровоз, который люблю, за сто сорок третий».
The doctor said to Georgie, your life cannot be saved
Доктор сказал Джорджи: "Твою жизнь не спасти,
Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave
Убит на железной дороге и похоронен в одинокой могиле".
His face was covered up with blood, his eyes you could not see
Его лицо было залито кровью, глаз его нельзя было видеть,
And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer, my God, to Thee
И самые последние слова, что произнёс бедный Джорджи, были: "Ближе, Боже мой, к Тебе".
