Doris Day - Swinging On a Star (with Jimmy Joyce & His Children's Chorus) - перевод текста песни на русский




Swinging On a Star (with Jimmy Joyce & His Children's Chorus)
Качаясь на звезде (с Джимми Джойсом и его детским хором)
Would you like to swing on a star
Хочешь, милый, качаться на звезде,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
Лунный свет в баночке домой нести,
And be better off than you are
И стать гораздо лучше, чем сейчас,
Or would you rather be a mule?
Или мулом быть тебе милей?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Мул упрямец с длинными ушами,
Kicks up at anything he hears
Все лягает, что слышит он ночами,
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
Спина крепкая, но мозг его слаб,
He′s just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
Он просто глуп и упрям, вот так.
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
И кстати, если в школу ты не ходишь,
You may grow up to be a mule
То мулом, милый, вскоре ты и станешь.
Or would you like to swing on a star
Хочешь, милый, качаться на звезде,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
Лунный свет в баночке домой нести,
And be better off than you are
И стать гораздо лучше, чем сейчас,
Or would you rather be a pig?
Или, быть может, хочешь стать свиньей?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
Свинья грязнуля, вся в земле лицо,
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
И обувь просто стыд и позорище одно,
He has no manners when he eats his food
Нет у нее манер, когда ест,
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
Жирная, ленивая и крайне груба вот так и есть.
But if you don′t care a feather or a fig
Но если тебе все равно, мой дорогой,
You may grow up to be a pig
То можешь вырасти свиньей.
Or would you like to swing on a star
Хочешь, милый, качаться на звезде,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
Лунный свет в баночке домой нести,
And be better off than you are
И стать гораздо лучше, чем сейчас,
Or would you rather be a fish?
Или рыбкой хочешь стать, скажи?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
Рыбка лишь плавает в ручье,
He can't write his name or read a book
Не может написать ни строчки и прочесть вообще,
To fool the people is his only thought
Обманывать людей ее мечта,
And though he′s slippery, he still gets caught
Хоть скользкая она, но все ж поймают и тогда...
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
Но если такая жизнь тебе по душе,
You may grow up to be a fish
То можешь вырасти, мой милый, рыбой в тишине,
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish
Скользкой рыбкой, выскочкой-парвеню.
And all the monkeys aren′t in the zoo
И не все обезьяны в зоопарке,
Every day you meet quite a few
Каждый день ты встречаешь их не мало,
So you see it's all up to you
Так что все зависит от тебя самого,
You can be better than you are
Ты можешь стать лучше, чем сейчас,
You could be swingin′ on a star
Ты мог бы качаться на звезде, мой милый.
