Текст и перевод песни George Formby - Could Make a Good Living at That




Could Make a Good Living at That
Мог бы неплохо на этом заработать
I just can't remember the last time I worked
Даже не помню, когда в последний раз работал,
I could blush with repentance and shame!
Краснею от стыда и раскаяния!
When I think of the years that I've spent on the dole
Когда думаю о годах, проведенных на пособии,
Well I can't bear the sound of me name!
Ну, просто терпеть не могу свое имя!
But I'm going to reform and I'm looking around
Но я собираюсь исправиться и ищу,
For a job that I think I can do
Работу, которую, думаю, смогу выполнить.
I'll just work like a horse
Буду работать как лошадь,
And have no more remorse
И больше не буду раскаиваться,
There'll be no need for me to feel blue
Мне не придется грустить,
Because I went to the races not long ago
Потому что недавно я ходил на скачки
And watched every jockey that won
И наблюдал за каждым жокеем-победителем.
He just sat on 'is 'orse
Он просто сидел на своей лошадке,
While it covered the course
Пока она бежала по дистанции,
And he got fifty quid when he'd done!
А он получил пятьдесят фунтов, когда все закончилось!
Now if I understood horses and knew how to ride
Теперь, если бы я разбирался в лошадях и умел ездить верхом,
And learnt off a bit of me fat
И немного похудел,
If I was head stableman
Если бы я был главным конюхом
To the great Aga Khan
У великого Ага Хана,
I could make a good livin'
Я мог бы неплохо зарабатывать,
Make a good livin'
Неплохо зарабатывать,
Make good livin' at that!
Неплохо зарабатывать на этом!
Some cricketers came from Australia last year
В прошлом году из Австралии приехали какие-то игроки в крикет,
And the newspapers made such a fuss!
И газеты подняли такую шумиху!
I don't know what the row was about, but it seems
Не знаю, из-за чего был весь сыр-бор, но, кажется,
That they'd taken some cinders from us!
Они увезли у нас немного угля!
There was one in particular, Don was his name
Был там один, в частности, Дон - его звали,
He's the youngest one, that gets my goat
Он самый молодой, вот он меня и бесит.
For a millionaire chap liked his playin' so much
Одному миллионеру так понравилась его игра,
That he sent him a thousand pound note!
Что он послал ему тысячу фунтов!
Just imagine, a lad pickin' money up so
Только представь, парень гребет деньги лопатой,
Just because he belongs to a club
Только потому, что он состоит в клубе.
I could almost repent
Я почти раскаиваюсь
At the long years I've spent
В тех долгих годах, что я провел,
Playin' dominoes down at the pub!
Играя в домино в пабе!
Now if I understood cricket and what it's about
Теперь, если бы я разбирался в крикете и знал, что к чему,
And knew how to handle a bat
И умел обращаться с битой,
If I could beat Bradman's score
Если бы я смог побить рекорд Брэдмана
Of three hundred and four
В триста четыре очка,
I could make a good livin'
Я мог бы неплохо зарабатывать,
Make a good livin'
Неплохо зарабатывать,
Make a good livin' at that!
Неплохо зарабатывать на этом!
And if I went into Parliament that would be fine
А если бы я пошел в парламент, это было бы здорово,
I'd have such a lot to discuss
У меня было бы столько тем для обсуждения.
I would have some debates
Я бы участвовал в дебатах
On the taxes and rates
О налогах и ставках,
I'd surely create lots of fuss!
Я бы точно поднял много шума!
And I wouldn't sit there and say nothin', like some
И я бы не сидел там молча, как некоторые,
I would always be wearin' me hat
Я бы всегда носил свою шляпу.
And if they made me Premier
А если бы меня сделали премьер-министром
At ten thousand a year
С десятью тысячами в год,
I could make a good livin'
Я мог бы неплохо зарабатывать,
Make a good livin'
Неплохо зарабатывать,
Make a good livin' at that!
Неплохо зарабатывать на этом!
