Johnny Cash - Ballad of Ira Hayes (Live At Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, July 16, 1964) - перевод текста песни на русский




Ballad of Ira Hayes (Live At Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, July 16, 1964)
Баллада об Айре Хейзе (Живое выступление на Фолк-фестивале в Ньюпорте, Род-Айленд, 16 июля 1964 года)
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Назови его пьяницей Айрой Хейзом,
He won't answer anymore
Он больше не ответит,
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ни индеец, хлещущий виски,
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ни морпех, что шел на войну.
Gather round me people there's a story I would tell
Соберитесь вокруг, люди, я расскажу историю
About a brave young Indian you should remember well
О храбром молодом индейце, которого вам стоит помнить.
From the land of the Pima Indian
Из земли индейцев пима,
A proud and noble band
Гордого и благородного племени,
Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land
Что возделывали долину Феникса в земле Аризоны.
Down the ditches for a thousand years
Тысячу лет по канавам
The water grew Ira's peoples' crops
Вода поила посевы народа Айры,
'Till the white man stole the water rights
Пока белый человек не украл права на воду,
And the sparklin' water stopped
И сверкающая вода иссякла.
Now Ira's folks were hungry
Теперь народ Айры голодал,
And their land grew crops of weeds
И на их земле росли сорняки.
When war came, Ira volunteered
Когда пришла война, Айра стал добровольцем
And forgot the white man's greed
И забыл о жадности белого человека.
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Назови его пьяницей Айрой Хейзом,
He won't answer anymore
Он больше не ответит,
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ни индеец, хлещущий виски,
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ни морпех, что шел на войну.
There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,
Там они сражались на холме Иводзимы,
Two hundred and fifty men
Двести пятьдесят человек,
But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again
Но только двадцать семь дожили, чтобы спуститься обратно.
And when the fight was over
И когда бой закончился,
And when Old Glory raised
И когда "Старая Слава" была поднята,
Among the men who held it high
Среди тех, кто держал ее высоко,
Was the Indian, Ira Hayes
Был индеец, Айра Хейз.
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Назови его пьяницей Айрой Хейзом,
He won't answer anymore
Он больше не ответит,
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ни индеец, хлещущий виски,
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ни морпех, что шел на войну.
Ira Hayes returned a hero
Айра Хейз вернулся героем,
Celebrated through the land
Прославленным по всей стране.
He was wined and speeched and honored; Everybody shook his hand
Его угощали вином, произносили речи в его честь, все жали ему руку.
But he was just a Pima Indian
Но он был всего лишь индейцем пима,
No water, no home, no chance
Без воды, без дома, без шанса.
At home nobody cared what Ira'd done
Дома никого не волновало, что сделал Айра,
And when did the Indians dance
И когда же индейцы танцевали?
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Назови его пьяницей Айрой Хейзом,
He won't answer anymore
Он больше не ответит,
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ни индеец, хлещущий виски,
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ни морпех, что шел на войну.
Then Ira started drinkin' hard;
Потом Айра начал сильно пить;
Jail was often his home
Тюрьма часто была его домом.
They'd let him raise the flag and lower it
Они позволяли ему поднимать и опускать флаг,
like you'd throw a dog a bone!
Как будто бросали собаке кость!
He died drunk early one mornin'
Он умер пьяным однажды утром,
Alone in the land he fought to save
Один, на земле, за которую он сражался.
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch
Два дюйма воды в одинокой канаве
Was a grave for Ira Hayes
Стали могилой для Айры Хейза.
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Назови его пьяницей Айрой Хейзом,
He won't answer anymore
Он больше не ответит,
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ни индеец, хлещущий виски,
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ни морпех, что шел на войну.
Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes
Да, назови его пьяницей Айрой Хейзом,
But his land is just as dry
Но его земля все так же суха,
And his ghost is lyin' thirsty
И его призрак лежит, томимый жаждой,
In the ditch where Ira died
В канаве, где умер Айра.
