Текст и перевод песни George Formby - I Parted My Hair in the Middle

I Parted My Hair in the Middle

Я разделил волосы посередине

I used to be bashful and shy, for fast living I didn't care

Раньше я был робким и застенчивым, меня не волновала быстрая жизнь,

But now you can tell I'm a bit of a dog, in fact I'm a devil-may-care

Но теперь ты можешь сказать, что я немного повеса, по сути, я беззаботный,

They told me to lead a gay life, a life that was dashing and free

Мне говорили вести веселую жизнь, жизнь, полную риска и свободы,

So I made me mind up to do

Поэтому я решил сделать

Something rash, to show what a nut I could be

Что-то безрассудное, чтобы показать, каким сорвиголовой я могу быть.

So I parted my hair in the middle, in the middle, in the middle

Поэтому я разделил волосы посередине, посередине, посередине.

Now when I leave my hotel everyone follows me, dogs as well

Теперь, когда я выхожу из отеля, все следуют за мной, даже собаки.

If I give a girl the glad eye, I smile and I say "Twiddle, twiddle"

Если я подмигиваю девушке, я улыбаюсь и говорю: «Подмигни, подмигни».

And I've smoked some brown paper without

И я курил коричневую бумагу, не

Being ill since I parted my hair in the middle

Заболев, с тех пор, как разделил волосы посередине.

One night with a girl you'll agree, I had an appointment and so

Однажды вечером, согласись, у меня было свидание,

And as I'm just a little bit spoony,

И поскольку я немного влюблен,

On airing my best Sunday clothes I did go

Я надел свою лучшую воскресную одежду.

I got her a nice bunch of flowers,

Я достал тебе красивый букет цветов,

From a dustbin just up the back street

Из мусорного бака в переулке.

Then as I stood in front of the

Потом я встал перед

Looking-glass there To make my appearance complete

Зеркалом, чтобы завершить свой образ.

I parted my hair in the middle, in the middle, in the middle

Я разделил волосы посередине, посередине, посередине.

Then I noticed our tom cat was washing his face on the front door mat

Потом я заметил, что наш кот умывается на коврике перед дверью.

He carefully curved his moustache,

Он аккуратно подкрутил усы,

Then at me his left eye he did twiddle

Потом подмигнул мне левым глазом.

Then I knew that he'd got an appointment as

Тогда я понял, что у него тоже свидание,

Well 'Cause he's parted his hair in the middle

Потому что он разделил шерсть посередине.
