Lyrics and translation The Jam - Thick As Thieves (Live At Newcastle City Hall, UK / 1980)
Times
were
so
tough,
but
not
as
tough
as
they
are
now
Времена
были
тяжелые,
но
не
такие,
как
сейчас.
We
were
so
close
and
nothing
came
between
us
and
the
world
Мы
были
так
близки,
и
ничто
не
встало
между
нами
и
миром.
No
personal
situations
Никаких
личных
ситуаций.
Thick
as
thieves
us,
we′d
stick
together
for
all
time
Мы
не
разлей
вода,
мы
всегда
будем
держаться
вместе.
And
we
meant
it
but
it
turns
out
just
for
a
while
И
мы
имели
это
в
виду,
но,
оказывается,
только
на
время.
We
stole
the
friendship
that
bound
us
together
Мы
украли
дружбу,
которая
связывала
нас
вместе.
We
stole
from
the
schools
and
their
libraries
Мы
воровали
в
школах
и
их
библиотеках.
We
stole
from
the
drugs
that
sent
us
to
sleep
Мы
крали
у
наркотиков,
которые
усыпляли
нас.
We
stole
from
the
drink
that
made
us
sick
Мы
крали
у
напитка,
от
которого
нас
тошнило.
We
stole
anything
that
we
couldn't
keep
Мы
крали
все,
что
не
могли
сохранить.
And
it
was
enough,
we
didn′t
have
to
spoil
anything
И
этого
было
достаточно,
нам
не
нужно
было
ничего
портить.
And
always
be
as
thick
as
thieves
И
всегда
будь
таким
же
толстым,
как
воры.
Like
a
perfect
stranger,
you
came
into
my
life
Как
совершенная
незнакомка,
ты
вошла
в
мою
жизнь.
Then
like
the
perfect
lone
ranger
Затем,
как
идеальный
Одинокий
рейнджер.
You
rode
away,
rode
away,
rode
away,
rode
away
Ты
уехал,
уехал,
уехал,
уехал.
We
stole
the
love
from
young
girls
in
ivory
towers
Мы
украли
любовь
у
молодых
девушек
в
башнях
из
слоновой
кости.
We
stole
autumn
leaves
and
summer
showers
Мы
крали
осенние
листья
и
летние
ливни.
We
stole
the
silent
wind
that
says
you
are
free
Мы
украли
тихий
ветер,
который
говорит,
что
ты
свободен.
We
stole
everything
that
we
could
see
Мы
украли
все,
что
могли
увидеть.
But
it
wasn't
enough
- and
now
we've
gone
and
spoiled
everything
Но
этого
было
недостаточно
, и
теперь
мы
все
испортили.
Now
we′re
no
longer
as
thick
as
thieves
Теперь
мы
больше
не
такие
толстые,
как
воры.
You
came
into
my
life
Ты
вошла
в
мою
жизнь.
Then
like
a
perfect
stranger
А
потом
как
совершенно
незнакомый
человек
You
walked
away,
walked
away,
walked
away,
walked
away
Ты
ушла,
ушла,
ушла,
ушла.
Thick
as
thieves
us,
we′d
stick
together
for
all
time
Мы
не
разлей
вода,
мы
всегда
будем
держаться
вместе.
And
we
meant
it
but
it
turns
out
just
for
a
while
И
мы
это
имели
в
виду,
но,
оказывается,
только
на
время.
We
stole
the
friendship
that
bound
us
together
Мы
украли
дружбу,
которая
связывала
нас
вместе.
We
stole
the
burning
sun
in
the
open
sky
Мы
украли
пылающее
солнце
в
открытом
небе.
We
stole
the
twinkling
stars
in
the
black
night
Мы
украли
мерцающие
звезды
в
черной
ночи.
We
stole
the
green
belt
fields
that
made
us
believe
Мы
украли
поля
зеленого
пояса,
которые
заставили
нас
поверить.
We
stole
everything
that
we
could
see
Мы
украли
все,
что
могли
увидеть.
But
something
came
along
that
changed
our
minds
Но
случилось
нечто,
что
изменило
наше
мнение.
I
don't
know
what
and
I
don′t
know
why
Я
не
знаю
что
и
не
знаю
почему
But
we
seemed
to
grow
up
in
a
flash
of
time
Но,
казалось,
мы
выросли
в
мгновение
ока.
While
we
watched
our
ideals
helplessly
unwind
Пока
мы
смотрели,
как
беспомощно
развиваются
наши
идеалы.
No,
we're
no
longer
as
thick
as
thieves
- no
Нет,
мы
больше
не
такие
толстые,
как
воры
- нет.
We′re
not
as
thick
as
we
used
to
be,
no
Мы
уже
не
такие
толстые,
как
раньше,
нет.
We're
no
longer
as
thick
as
thieves,
no
Мы
больше
не
такие
толстые,
как
воры,
нет.
We′re
not
as
thick
as
we
used
to
be
Мы
уже
не
такие
толстые,
как
раньше.
No
it
wasn't
enough
Нет
этого
было
недостаточно
And
we've
gone
and
spoiled
everything
А
мы
ушли
и
все
испортили.
Now
we′re
no
longer
as
thick
as
thieves
Теперь
мы
больше
не
такие
толстые,
как
воры.
