Paroles et traduction Billy's Band - Cold Ground

Cold Ground

Вы знаете, бывает... Сегодня, сегодня тучи, завтра
слёзы с утра. Терпи, дружок, когда вернётся вчера,
к примеру... Вообще, у меня был один знакомый
мальчик, который жил с родителями в Берлине и в
возрасте примерно двенадцати или тринадцати лет,
когда так, невзначай, увлёкся троцкизмом, и
примерно в это же самое время завёл себе меленькую
такую карликовую собачку и нарёк её Jesus.
Прогуливаясь с ней по улицам, прохожие
оборачивались от удивления, когда он окликал её:
"Jesus! Jesus!" Прискорбнее всего было то, что он
приучил её кидаться на людей на команду "Алилуйя."
Извращенство, я считаю. С тех пор прошло уже
порядком лет, мы тут недавно виделись с ним. Как
выяснилось, он поступил в институт, окончил его,
получил хорошую работу и поверьте, у него всё
хорошо. А вот собачку пришлось усыпить...
Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe
Never slept with a dream before he had to go away
There's a bell in the tower Uncle ray bought a round
Don't worry 'bout the army in the cold,
Cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
The cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
Now don't be a cry baby when there's wood in the shed
There's a bird in the chimmney and a stone in my bed
When the road's washed out they pass the bottle around
And wait in the arms of the
Cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
The cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
There's a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope
And a briar patch of berries takin over the slope
The cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town
Til we bury every dream in the cold
Cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
Now gimme a Winchester rifle and a box full of shells
Stop talking to the neighbors til we all go dead
Beware of my temper and the dog that I’ve found
I find we lay down together in the
Cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
The cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
Да, и вот ещё что, не забудь прихватить с собой в могилу доллар, детка...

Don't worry 'bout the army in the cold,
The cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground

Cold Ground

You know, it happens... Today, today it's clouds, tomorrow it's
tears in the morning. Be patient, darling, when yesterday returns,
for example... Actually, I had one friend,
a boy, who lived with his parents in Berlin and at
the age of about twelve or thirteen,
when he just so happened to get carried away with Trotskyism, and
around the same time, he got himself a tiny
dwarf dog and named it Jesus.
Walking with it through the streets, passers-by
turned around in surprise when he called out to it:
"Jesus! Jesus!" The saddest thing was that he
trained it to attack people on the command "Hallelujah."
Perversion, I think. Quite a few years have passed since then,
we recently saw him. As
it turned out, he went to college, graduated,
got a good job and believe me, everything is
good with him. But the dog had to be put down...

Oh, and one more thing, don't forget to take a dollar with you to the grave, baby...
