Greenland Whale Fisheries (The John Peel Show) [as Pogue Mahone] [April 1984] [Live]
Гренландский китобойный промысел (Шоу Джона Пила) [как Pogue Mahone] [Апрель 1984] [Концертная запись]
In 1846
В 1846 году,
On March the 18th day
18 марта,
We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast
Мы подняли наши флаги на вершину мачты
And for Greenland sailed away
И к Гренландии отправились в путь,
Brave boys
Смелые ребята,
And for Greenland sailed away
И к Гренландии отправились в путь.
The lookout in the cross-trees stood
Наблюдатель на мачте стоял,
With spyglass in his hand
С подзорной трубой в руке,
"There's a whale, there's a whale
"Кит, кит,
And a whalefish," he cried
И кит-рыба!" - кричал он,
And she blows at every span
И она пускает фонтан каждые несколько секунд,
Brave boys
Смелые ребята,
And she blows at every span
И она пускает фонтан каждые несколько секунд.
The captain stood on the quarter deck
Капитан стоял на шканцах,
The ice was in his eye
Лед был в его взгляде,
Overhaul, overhaul!
"Травить шкоты, травить шкоты!
Let your gibsheets fall
Отдайте гика-шкоты,
And you'll put your boats to sea
И спускайте шлюпки на воду",
Brave boys
Смелые ребята,
And you'll put your boats to sea
И спускайте шлюпки на воду".
The harpoon struck and the line played out
Гарпун попал, и линь разматывался,
With a single flourish of his tail
Одним взмахом хвоста
He capsized the boat and we lost five men
Он перевернул шлюпку, и мы потеряли пятерых,
And we did not catch the whale
И мы не поймали кита,
Brave boys
Смелые ребята,
And we did not catch the whale
И мы не поймали кита.
The losing of those five jolly men
Потеря этих пятерых молодцов
It grieved the captain sore
Сильно опечалила капитана,
But the losing of that fine whalefish
Но потеря того прекрасного кита
Now, it grieved him ten times more
Опечалила его в десять раз сильнее,
Brave boys
Смелые ребята,
Now, it grieved him ten times more
Опечалила его в десять раз сильнее.
Oh, Greenland is a barren land
О, Гренландия - бесплодная земля,
A land that bares no green
Земля, где нет зелени,
Where there's ice and snow
Где лед и снег,
And the whalefishes blow
И киты пускают фонтаны,
And the daylight's seldom seen
И дневной свет редко виден,
Brave boys
Смелые ребята,
And the daylight's seldom seen
И дневной свет редко виден.
