Lyrics and translation The Lovin' Spoonful - Only Pretty, What A Pity - Alternate Version




Eyes to look at not to see through
Глаза, чтобы смотреть, а не видеть насквозь.
She never could see truth for lies
Она никогда не отличала правду от лжи.
With a smile she'd win 'em over
С улыбкой она бы покорила их.
Face her trick to take a prize
Столкнись с ее трюком, чтобы получить приз.
Tickled pink the mid-aged dandy
Щекотал розового денди средних лет.
Sold his horse to buy her all
Продал свою лошадь, чтобы купить ее всю.
The icing for her face like candy
Глазурь для ее лица, как леденец.
Hung up in mirrors wall to wall
Висят в зеркалах от стены до стены.
Married life was short but funny
Супружеская жизнь была короткой, но веселой.
With long lost cousins dropping by
С давно потерянными кузенами, заглядывающими к нам.
Later on her alimony
Позже о ее алиментах
Paid for young men's gentle lies
Платят за нежную ложь молодых людей.
By the window hangs a mirror
У окна висит зеркало.
Where she hides her sagging chin
Где она прячет свой отвисший подбородок
Now, sadly as she crouches nearer
Теперь, печально, когда она наклоняется ближе.
Never seeing past her skin
Никогда не заглядывал за ее кожу.
(Mommy said
(Мама говорила,
When you were younger
Когда ты был моложе
The face you made would stay that way
Лицо, которое ты сделал, останется таким же.
That's all true and if you doubt it
Это все правда, и если ты сомневаешься в этом ...
Reflect upon yourself today)
Поразмысли над собой сегодня)
Everyone except the baby
Все кроме ребенка
Answers for the face they wear
Ответы для лица, которое они носят.
Ask the mask of your contentment
Спроси маску своего довольства.
Or the mask of your despair
Или маска твоего отчаяния
Only pretty, what a pity
Только хорошенькая, какая жалость
Only pretty, what a pity
Только хорошенькая, какая жалость
Only pretty, what a pity
Только хорошенькая, какая жалость
Only pretty, what a pity
Только хорошенькая, какая жалость
Only pretty, what a pity
Только хорошенькая, какая жалость
Only pretty, what a pity
Только хорошенькая, какая жалость
Only pretty, what a pity
Только хорошенькая, какая жалость
