St. James Infirmary - From the Album - The Story of the Blues
Больница Святого Джеймса - Из альбома - История блюза
It was down in Old Joe's barroom,
Это было в баре старины Джо,
On the corner by the square,
На углу, у площади,
The usual crowd was assembled
Собралась обычная толпа,
And big Joe McKinney was there.
И был там здоровяк Джо МакКинни.
He was standing at my shoulder.
Он стоял у меня за плечом,
His eyes were bloodshot red;
Глаза его были налиты кровью;
He turned to the crowd around him,
Он повернулся к толпе вокруг,
These are the very words he said:
Вот слова, которые он сказал:
"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
пошел в больницу Святого Джеймса,
I saw my baby there,
Я увидела там моего милого,
She's laid out on a cold white table,
Он лежит на холодном белом столе,
So so cold, so white, so fair."
Такой холодный, такой белый, такой прекрасный."
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
"Отпусти его, отпусти, благослови его Бог,
Wherever she may be
Где бы он ни был,
She may search this wide world over
Он может искать по всему этому миру,
She'll never find a sweet man like me."
Он никогда не найдет такую сладкую женщину, как я."
Oh, when I die, bury me
О, когда я умру, похороните меня
In my high top Stetson hat;
В моей шляпе Stetson с высокой тульей;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
Положите двадцатидолларовую золотую монету мне на цепочку от часов,
God'll know I died standin' pat.
Бог будет знать, что я умерла, стоя на своем.
I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.
Я хочу шестерых игроков в кости в качестве носильщиков гроба.
Girl to sing me a song.
Девушку, чтобы спела мне песню.
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.
Поставьте джазовый оркестр на мой катафалк.
Raise Hell as I roll along.
Пусть будет адский шум, пока я качусь.
Roll out your rubber tired carriage,
Выкатывайте свой экипаж на резиновых шинах,
Roll out your old time hat.
Выкатывайте свою старомодную шляпу.
Twelve men going to the graveyard
Двенадцать мужчин идут на кладбище,
And eleven coming back.
И одиннадцать возвращаются.
Now that I've told my story,
Теперь, когда я рассказала свою историю,
I'll take another shot of booze.
Я выпью еще рюмку.
And if anyone should happen to ask you,
И если кто-нибудь вдруг спросит вас,
I've got those gamblers' blues.
У меня эта игорная тоска.
