Billy's Band - Chocolate Jesus - перевод текста песни на английский

Это было на рождество. Наш городок замело снегом.

It was Christmas. Our town was covered in snow.

Я возвращлся с работы домой и как раз проходил

I was returning home from work and just happened to be passing

мимо ломбарда на площади. В витрине было

by the pawnshop on the square. There was a piano

выставлено пианино. Слева от него, как сейчас

displayed in the window. To the left of it, as I recall now,

помню - изогнутый саксофон. Рядом - старые ножницы

was a curved saxophone. Nearby - old scissors

для кастрации быков, какие-то окислившиеся зубные

for castrating bulls, some oxidized dentures

протезы и прочий хлам. Помню, подумал ещё тогда -

and other junk. I remember thinking then -

всё-таки, как у нас люди живут. Но в то-же

how people live here. But in the same

мгновение я понял, что... Что должен положить руки

moment I realized that... That I had to put my hands

на клавиши этого черно-белого создания. Это ведь

on the keys of this black and white creation. It was

было на рождество. Я бежал, сломя голову, всю дорогу

Christmas after all. I ran, head over heels, all the way

домой, схватил мамино пальто и закричал: "Мама... Я

home, grabbed my mother's coat and shouted: "Mom... I

просто должен положить руки на эту штуку, и тогда я

just have to put my hands on that thing, and then I

смогу ездить по Easy Street в левом ряду!" Моя

can drive down Easy Street in the left lane!" My

мама, господи благослови, бежала до самого

mother, God bless her, ran all the way

ломбарда. Было полнолуние, и будь я проклят, если

to the pawnshop. It was a full moon, and I'll be damned if I

совру... Нет... Пусть меня подвесят за хвост, как

lie... No... Let them hang me by the tail like a

кота, и вороны склюют всё, если я совру, ну, кроме

cat, and let the crows peck me all over, except for my

шляпы... Моя мать разнесла кирпичем витрину и

hat... My mother smashed the window with a brick and

добыла для меня пианино... Что тут добавить,

got me the piano... What can I say,

остальное принадлежит истории. Даже то, что я так

the rest is history. Even the fact that I never really

толком и не выучился на нем играть...

learned to play it...

Well, I don't go to church on Sunday

I don't get on my knees to pray

Don't memorize the books of the Bible

I got my own special way

I know the Jesus loves me

Oh, maybe just a little bit more

Well I falling on my knees every Sunday

At Zeldera Lee's candy store

Oh, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

He makes me feel so good inside

Oh, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

And keeps me satisfied

I don't want no Anna Zabba

I don't want no Almond Joy

Because I know I ain't nothing better

Suitable for this boy

That's the only thing that can pick me up

Better than a cup of gold

See only a chocolate Jesus

Can satisfy my soul

Oh, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

It's good enough for me

Oh, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

It's good enough for me

And when the weather gets rough and it's whiskey in the shade

It's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane

He flows like the big muddy dut that's ok

Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait

Oh, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

And it's good enough for me

Oh, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

It's good enough for me

It's got to be a chocolate Jesus

He makes me feel so good inside

Oh, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

And keeps me satisfied

And keeps me... well you know

Only chocolate Jesus always keeps me...

Well satisfied
