Lyrics and translation The Weavers - State of Arkansas - Remastered




State of Arkansas - Remastered
Штат Арканзас - Ремастеринг
My name is Charlie Brennan, from Charleston I come
Меня зовут Чарли Бреннан, родом я из Чарльстона,
I′ve traveled this wide world over, some ups and downs I've had
Я исколесил весь мир, повидал взлеты и падения.
I′ve traveled this wide world over, some ups and downs I've saw
Я исколесил весь мир, взлеты и падения видал,
But I never really knew what misery was till I hit old Arkansas
Но настоящей беды не знал, пока не попал в старый Арканзас.
Got off the train in Little rock in the middle of winter
Сошел с поезда в Литл-Роке посреди зимы,
Nobody there to extend to me his paw
Никто не протянул мне руку помощи,
Or bid me welcome to this State of Arkansas
Не поприветствовал меня в этом штате Арканзас,
And it was cold
И было холодно.
I dodged behind the depot to dodge that blizzard wind
Я спрятался за депо, чтобы укрыться от метели,
I met a walking skeleton, he said his name was Thomas Quinn
Встретил ходячий скелет, он назвался Томасом Куинном.
Well, his hair hung down in rat-tails on his lean and lantern jaw
Его волосы висели, как крысиные хвосты, на его тощей, угловатой челюсти.
He invited me to his hotel, he said it was the best in Arkansas
Он пригласил меня в свою гостиницу, сказал, что это лучшая в Арканзасе.
I followed my conductor to his respective place
Я последовал за ним в это заведение,
Where pity and starvation were to be seen on every face
Где на каждом лице виднелись жалость и голод.
Well, his bread it was corn dodger and his meat I could not chaw
Его хлеб был кукурузным, а мясо я не мог прожевать,
But he charged me a half a dollar in the State of Arkansas
Но он содрал с меня полдоллара в этом штате Арканзас.
And I went out and got me a job on a farm, farming
Я нашел работу на ферме, занялся сельским хозяйством,
But I didn't care for the work or the farmer
Но мне не нравилась ни работа, ни фермер,
Or his wife and none of his children
Ни его жена, ни его дети.
So I went up to him one day and I said
Поэтому однажды я подошел к нему и сказал:
"Mister I′m gonna quit this job and you can just pay me off right now"
"Мистер, я увольняюсь, и вы можете расплатиться со мной прямо сейчас".
He says, "Okay son, if that′s the way you feel about it"
Он говорит: "Хорошо, сынок, если ты так решил".
And he took me out in the barn and he handed me a mink skin
Он отвел меня в сарай и вручил мне шкурку норки.
I said, "I don't want this thing I want my money
Я сказал: "Мне не нужна эта штука, мне нужны мои деньги
For the work I′ve done"
За проделанную работу".
He said, "Son, you may not know it but mink's skin is
Он сказал: "Сынок, ты, возможно, не знаешь, но шкурки норок
What we′re using for currency down here now"
Это то, что мы сейчас используем в качестве валюты".
So I took it, when into town, hunted up a place
Я взял ее, пошел в город, нашел заведение,
Put my mink skin up on the counter and turned
Положил шкурку норки на прилавок и повернулся.
If the bartender didn't toss me a pint
Бармен налил мне пинту,
And he picked up my mink skin, blowed the hair back on it
Взял мою шкурку норки, пригладил мех,
Put it under the counter, fetched me out fourteen rabbit skins and
Положил ее под прилавок, выдал мне четырнадцать шкурок кролика и
Three possum hives for change
Три шкурки опоссума на сдачу.
I′m going to the Indian territory and live outside the law
Я отправляюсь в индейскую территорию и буду жить вне закона,
I'll bid farewell to the kin bricks in the State of Arkansas
Прощайте, кирпичи, в штате Арканзас.
If you ever see me back again, I'll give to you my paw
Если ты когда-нибудь увидишь меня снова, я пожму тебе лапу,
But it′ll be though a telescope from Hell to Arkansas
Но это будет через телескоп из ада в Арканзас.
