A Whiter Shade of Pale (Live at Leicester University, 1975) - Procol Harum перевод на русский

A Whiter Shade of Pale (Live at Leicester University, 1975)

We skipped a light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned pale

She said, "I want no shore leave"
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree

Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride"
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightaway died

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be

One of 16 vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Thank you, thank you, goodnight

Более бледный оттенок бледного (Концерт в Университете Лестера, 1975)

Мы кружили в легком фанданго
Кувыркались через край
Меня мутило будто в море
Но кричали: "Давай!"

Комната гудела громче,
Потолок уплыл в ночь
Мы крикнули: "Еще по стопке!"
Официант принес

И вот случилось позже,
Как мельник вел рассказ -
Её лицо, сперва как тень,
Поблекло в тот же час

Она: "Мне берег не нужен"
Хотя мы в море были
Я взял её за зеркалом
Заставил уступить

"Ты, верно, та русалка,
Что Нептуна обвела"
Но грустная улыбка
Мой гнев забрала

И вот случилось позже,
Как мельник вел рассказ -
Её лицо, сперва как тень,
Побледнело в тот же час

Она: "Здесь нет причины,
Все ясно как день"
Но я картами шуршал,
Не давая ей

Одна из шестнадцати дев,
Что плыли на юг
Хоть глаза мои открыты -
Все равно, что вдруг

И вот случилось позже,
Как мельник вел рассказ -
Её лицо, сперва как тень,
Побледнело в тот же час

И вот случилось позже,
Как мельник вел рассказ -
Её лицо, сперва как тень,
Побледнело в тот же час

Спасибо, спокойной ночи
