Chumbawamba - Ogre (After WH Auden)

Текст и перевод песни Chumbawamba - Ogre (After WH Auden)




Ogre (After WH Auden)
Людоед (По мотивам В. Х. Одена)
The Ogre does what Ogres can
Людоед делает то, что людоеды могут,
One prize beyond his reach –
Один приз вне его досягаемости –
Conquers those who write the world
Побеждает тех, кто пишет мир,
But cannot master speech
Но не может овладеть речью.
Among the hurt and slain
Среди раненых и убитых,
On subjugated plain
На покорённой равнине,
The Ogre's words so morbid and mundane
Слова Людоеда так скучны и банальны.

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.
