Lyrics and translation XTC - The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead (demo)
Let's
begin
Начнем!
Peter
Pumpkinhead
came
to
town
Питер
Тыквоголовый
приехал
в
город.
Spreading
wisdom
and
cash
around
Распространение
мудрости
и
наличности
повсюду
Fed
the
starving
and
housed
the
poor
Кормили
голодающих
и
приютили
бедных.
Showed
the
Vatican
what
gold's
for
Показал
Ватикану,
для
чего
нужно
золото.
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
Но
он
нажил
слишком
много
врагов.
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
О
людях,
которые
будут
держать
нас
на
коленях.
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Ура
Питеру
тыкве!
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead,
oh
my
Кто
будет
молиться
за
Питера
тыквоголового,
О
боже
Peter
Pumpkinhead
proved
them
all
Питер
Тыквоголовый
доказал
их
все.
Emptied
churches
and
shopping
malls
Опустевшие
церкви
и
торговые
центры.
When
he
spoke
it
would
raise
the
roof
Стоило
ему
заговорить,
как
от
него
поднималась
крыша.
Peter
Pumpkinhead
told
the
truth
Питер
Тыквоголовый
сказал
правду
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
Но
он
нажил
слишком
много
врагов.
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
О
людях,
которые
будут
держать
нас
на
коленях.
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Ура
Питеру
тыкве!
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead,
oh
my
Кто
будет
молиться
за
Питера
тыквоголового,
О
боже
Peter
Pumpkinhead
put
to
shame
Питер
Тыквоголовый
посрамлен
Governments
who
would
slur
his
name
Правительства,
которые
будут
клеветать
на
его
имя.
Plots
and
sex
scandals
failed
outright
Заговоры
и
сексуальные
скандалы
провалились.
Peter
merely
said,
any
kind
of
love
is
alright
Питер
просто
сказал,
что
любая
любовь
хороша.
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
Но
он
нажил
слишком
много
врагов.
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
О
людях,
которые
будут
держать
нас
на
коленях.
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Ура
Питеру
тыкве!
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead?
Кто
будет
молиться
за
Питера
тыквоголового?
Peter
Pumpkinhead
was
too
good
Питер
Тыквоголовый
был
слишком
хорош.
Had
him
nailed
to
a
chunk
of
wood
Его
пригвоздили
к
дереву.
He
died
grinning
on
live
T.V.
Он
умер,
ухмыляясь
в
прямом
эфире.
Hanging
there
he
looked
a
lot
like
you
Вися
там,
он
был
очень
похож
на
тебя.
And
an
awful
lot
like
me
И
очень
похож
на
меня,
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
но
нажил
слишком
много
врагов.
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
О
людях,
которые
будут
держать
нас
на
коленях.
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Ура
Питеру
тыкве!
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead?
Кто
будет
молиться
за
Питера
тыквоголового?
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
(Hooray)
Ура
Питеру
тыкве!
(Ура!)
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkin?
Кто
будет
молиться
за
Питера
тыкву?
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead
Ура
Питеру
Тыквоголовому
Oh
my,
oh
my,
don't
it
make
you
wanna
cry?
О
боже,
о
Боже,
неужели
тебе
не
хочется
плакать?
