Lyrics and translation The Kingston Trio - The Unfortunate Miss Bailey (Remastered)
In
seventeen
forty-two,
it
was
customary
in
the
township
of
Halifax,
for
a
gentleman
to
partake
occasionally
of
ratafia
which
was--a
light-flavored
liquer
of
amazing
potency--which
originated
in
Middlesex
and
which
we
suppose
is
the
reason
for
this
song.
В
тысяча
семьсот
сорок
втором
году
в
городке
Галифакс
было
принято,
чтобы
джентльмены
время
от
времени
пили
"ратафию"
-легкий
ликер
удивительной
силы,
родом
из
Миддлсекса,
что,
как
мы
полагаем,
и
послужило
причиной
этой
песни.
Oh,
Miss
Bailey!
Unfortunate,
Miss
Bailey!
О,
Мисс
Бейли,
Несчастная
Мисс
Бейли!
A
captain
bold
in
Halifax,
who
dwelt
in
country
quarters,
seduced
a
maid
who
hung
herself
one
Monday
in
her
garters.
Смелый
капитан
из
Галифакса,
живший
в
сельской
местности,
соблазнил
девушку,
которая
однажды
в
понедельник
повесилась
на
подвязках.
His
wicked
conscience
smitted
him.
He
lost
his
stomach
daily.
He
took
to
drinking
ratafia
and
tho′t
upon
Miss
Bailey.
Его
мучила
злая
совесть,
он
каждый
день
терял
желудок,
он
пил
ратафию
и
не
обращал
внимания
на
Мисс
Бейли.
One
night
betimes
he
went
to
bed
for
he
had
caught
the
fever.
Said
he,
"I
am
a
handsome
man
and
I'm
a
gay
deceiver."
Однажды
ночью,
когда
он
лег
спать,
потому
что
подхватил
лихорадку,
он
сказал:
"Я
красивый
мужчина
и
веселый
обманщик".
His
candle
just
a
twelve
o′clock
began
to
burn
quite
palely.
A
ghost
stepped
up
to
his
bedside
and
said,
"Behold,
Miss
Bailey!"
Его
свеча
ровно
в
двенадцать
часов
начала
гореть
довольно
бледно,
призрак
подошел
к
его
постели
и
сказал:
"Смотрите,
Мисс
Бейли!"
"Avast,
Miss
Bailey,"
then
he
cried,
"you
can't
affright
me,
really."
"Dear
Captain
Smith,"
the
ghost
replied,
"you
used
me
ungenteelly.
- Эй,
Мисс
Бейли,
- воскликнул
он,
- вы
не
можете
меня
напугать,
правда.
- дорогой
капитан
Смит,
- ответил
призрак,
- вы
обошлись
со
мной
не
по-джентльменски.
The
coroner's
quest
goes
hard
with
me
because
I′ve
acted
freely
and
Parson
Biggs
won′t
bury
me
tho'
I′m
a
dead
Miss
Bailey."
Поиски
коронера
даются
мне
нелегко,
потому
что
я
действовал
свободно,
и
пастор
Биггс
не
станет
хоронить
меня,
хотя
я
и
мертвая
Мисс
Бейли.
"Dear
Ma'am,"
says
he,
"since
you
and
I
must
once
for
all
accounts
close,
I
have
a
one
pound
note
in
my
regimental
small
clothes.
"Дорогая
мадам,
- говорит
он,
- поскольку
мы
с
вами
должны
раз
и
навсегда
закрыть
все
счета,
у
меня
в
полковой
мундире
лежит
банкнота
в
один
фунт.
′Twill
bribe
the
sexton
for
your
grave."
The
ghost
then
answered
gaily,
"Bless
you,
wicked
Captain
Smith,
remember
poor
Miss
Bailey!"
Я
подкуплю
Пономаря
за
твою
могилу,
- весело
ответил
призрак.
- Благослови
тебя
Бог,
злой
капитан
Смит,
вспомни
бедную
Мисс
Бейли!
"All's
well
that
ends
well,
I
suppose."
"Все
хорошо,
что
хорошо
кончается,
я
полагаю".
