Текст и перевод песни Chumbawamba - Coal Not Dole




Coal Not Dole
Уголь, а не пособие
It stands so proud, the wheels so still
Стоит такой гордый, колеса неподвижны,
A ghost-like figure on the hill
Призрачная фигура на холме.
It seems so strange there is no sound
Кажется таким странным, что нет ни звука,
Now there are no men underground
Теперь нет людей под землей.
What will become of this pit yard?
Что станет с этим шахтным двором,
Where men once trampled faces hard
Где когда-то люди топтали землю с суровыми лицами,
So tired and weary their shift's done
Уставшие и измотанные после смены,
Never having seen the sun
Никогда не видевшие солнца?
There'll always be a happy hour
Всегда будет счастливый час
For those with money, jobs and power
Для тех, у кого есть деньги, работа и власть.
They'll never realise the hurt
Они никогда не поймут боль,
They cause to men they treat like dirt
Которую причиняют людям, которых считают грязью.
Will it become a sacred ground?
Станет ли это место святой землей,
Foreign tourists gazing round
Где иностранные туристы будут глазеть по сторонам,
Asking if men once worked here
Спрашивая, работали ли здесь когда-то люди,
Way beneath this pit-head gear
Глубоко под этой шахтной копрой?
Empty trucks once filled with coal
Пустые вагонетки, когда-то наполненные углем,
Lined up like men on the dole
Выстроились в ряд, как люди на пособии.
Will they e'er be used again?
Будут ли они когда-нибудь снова использованы,
Or left for scrap just like the men?
Или оставлены на слом, как и эти люди?
There'll always be a happy hour
Всегда будет счастливый час
For those with money, jobs and power
Для тех, у кого есть деньги, работа и власть.
They'll never realise the hurt
Они никогда не поймут боль,
They cause to men they treat like dirt
Которую причиняют людям, которых считают грязью.

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
