Chumbawamba - The Land of Do What You're Told

Текст и перевод песни Chumbawamba - The Land of Do What You're Told




The Land of Do What You're Told
Земля Делай, Что Велено
Have a word with your Patron Saint
Перемолвись словечком со своим святым покровителем,
Cover up the cracks with a lick of paint
Замажь трещины свежей краской.
All The exit doors are all double-locked
Все выходы наглухо заперты,
Because St Sebastian sways but doesn't rock
Ведь Святой Себастьян покачивается, но не качается.
Here's to you - you put up a fight
За тебя, милая, – ты сражалась до конца,
You're the last to leave, now turn out the light
Ты последняя уходишь, так выключи свет.
You danced to the Devil and the Feathery wife
Ты плясала с Дьяволом и его Пернатой женой,
Now the Ordnance Survey is mapping out your life
А теперь Управление землеустройства составляет карту твоей жизни.
Look at the small print: it's what we agreed -
Взгляни на мелкий шрифт: это то, о чем мы договорились –
Sign your name before we teach you how to read
Подпиши свое имя, прежде чем мы научим тебя читать.
This is the land, the Land of Do What You're Told
Это земля, Земля Делай, Что Велено,
The Land of the Free: if you don't leave the fold
Земля Свободных: если ты не покинешь стадо.
Smile a little wider as you're waiting to be sold
Улыбнись пошире, пока ждешь, когда тебя продадут.
This is the land, the Land of Do What You're Told
Это земля, Земля Делай, Что Велено.
I'm a celebrity - let me in here
Я знаменитость – впустите меня сюда,
One last jump from the end of the pier
Один последний прыжок с конца пирса.
We breached the wall, but I was too tired to run
Мы проломили стену, но я слишком устал, чтобы бежать,
My Get Up And Go got up and now it's gone
Мое "Вставай и Иди" встало и ушло.
Look at the small print: it's what we agreed -
Взгляни на мелкий шрифт: это то, о чем мы договорились –
Sign your name before we teach you how to read
Подпиши свое имя, прежде чем мы научим тебя читать.
This is the land, the Land of Do What You're Told
Это земля, Земля Делай, Что Велено,
The Land of the Free: if you don't leave the fold
Земля Свободных: если ты не покинешь стадо.
Smile a little wider as you're waiting to be sold
Улыбнись пошире, пока ждешь, когда тебя продадут.
This is the land, the Land of Do What You're Told
Это земля, Земля Делай, Что Велено.
This is the land, the Land of Do What You're Told
Это земля, Земля Делай, Что Велено,
With a little lip service to breaking the mold
С небольшой данью уважения разрушению шаблонов.
Smile a little wider as you're waiting to be sold
Улыбнись пошире, пока ждешь, когда тебя продадут.
This is the land, the Land of Do What You're Told
Это земля, Земля Делай, Что Велено.
We're going on strike for twelve percent
Мы объявляем забастовку за двенадцать процентов,
We're not downhearted yet
Мы еще не пали духом.
They're filming it all for a reality show
Они снимают все это для реалити-шоу,
So twelve percent we'll get
Так что двенадцать процентов мы получим.

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.
