Chumbawamba - Coal Not Dole

Текст и перевод песни Chumbawamba - Coal Not Dole




It stands so proud, the wheels so still
Он стоит так гордо, колеса так неподвижны.
A ghost-like figure on the hill
Призрачная фигура на холме.
It seems so strange there is no sound
Это кажется таким странным, что не слышно ни звука.
Now there are no men underground
Теперь под землей нет людей.
What will become of this pit yard?
Что станет с этим двором?
Where men once trampled faces hard
Там, где люди когда-то топтали лица.
So tired and weary their shift's done
Они так устали, их смена закончилась.
Never having seen the sun
Я никогда не видел 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 боли.
They cause to men they treat like dirt
Они причиняют людям боль они обращаются с ними как с грязью
Will it become a sacred ground?
Станет ли она священной землей?
Foreign tourists gazing round
Иностранные туристы глазеют по сторонам.
Asking if men once worked here
Спрашиваю, работали ли здесь когда-то мужчины
Way beneath this pit-head gear
Далеко под этой ямой-головной механизм
Empty trucks once filled with coal
Пустые грузовики, когда-то заполненные углем.
Lined up like men on the dole
Выстроились, как люди на пособии.
Will they e'er be used again?
Будут ли они снова использованы?
Or left for scrap just like the men?
Или брошены на свалку, как мужчины?
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 боли.
They cause to men they treat like dirt
Они причиняют людям боль они обращаются с ними как с 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.
