Paroles et traduction Кино - Kogda-to ty byl bitnikom

Kogda-to ty byl bitnikom

Ey, gde tvoi tufli na mannoy kashe,
I kuda ty zasunul svoy dvubortnyy pidzhak?
Spryach' podal'she domashnie tapki, papasha,
Ty ved' ran'she ne dal by za nikh i pyatak.
A kogda-to ty byl bitnikom, u-u-u.
Kogda-to ty, ty byl kogda-to bitnikom.
Ty gotov byl otdat' dushu za rok-n-roll,
Izvlechyonnyy iz snimka chuzhoy diafragmy.
A teper' - televizor, gazeta, futbol,
I dovol'na toboy tvoya staraya mama.
A kogda-to ty byl bitnikom, u-u-u.
Kogda-to ty, ty byl kogda-to bitnikom.
Rok-n-roll'noe vremya ushlo bezvozvratno,
Okhladili sediny tvoey yunosti pyl.
No ya veryu i verit' mne v eto priyatno,
Chto v dushe ty ostalsya takim zhe, kak byl.
A kogda-to ty byl bitnikom, u-u-u.
Kogda-to ty, ty byl kogda-to bitnikom.

Once You Were a Beatnik

Hey, where are your cream-of-wheat shoes,
And where did you stuff your double-breasted jacket?
Hide your house slippers further away, old man,
You wouldn't have given a dime for them before.
And once you were a beatnik, u-u-u.
Once you, you were once a beatnik.
You were ready to give your soul for rock and roll,
Extracted from a stranger's diaphragm photograph.
And now - television, newspaper, football,
And your old mother is happy with you.
And once you were a beatnik, u-u-u.
Once you, you were once a beatnik.
The rock and roll time is gone forever,
Gray hairs cooled the dust of your youth.
But I believe, and it's pleasant for me to believe,
That in your soul you remained the same as you were.
And once you were a beatnik, u-u-u.
Once you, you were once a beatnik.
