Текст и перевод песни Stevie Wonder - Alfie (Live at Tamla-Motown Festival, Tokyo, 1968)

What's it all about, Alfie?

Что все это значит, Альфи?

Is it just for the moment we live?

Это лишь на миг нашей жизни?

What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?

Что происходит, когда ты все решаешь, Альфи?

Are we meant to take more than we give

Неужели мы должны брать больше, чем отдаем?

Or are we meant to be kind?

Или нам суждено быть добрыми?

And if only fools are kind, Alfie

И если только дураки добры, Альфи.

Then I guess it's wise to be cruel

Тогда, думаю, это разумно-быть жестоким.

And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie

И если жизнь принадлежит только сильным, Альфи.

What will you lend on an old golden rule?

Что ты одолжишь по старому золотому правилу?

As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie

Как бы я ни верил, над нами небеса, Альфи.

I know there's something much more

Я знаю, что есть нечто большее.

Something even non-believers can believe in

Даже неверующие могут во что-то верить.

I believe in love, Alfie

Я верю в любовь, Альфи.

Without true love we just exist, Alfie

Без настоящей любви мы просто существуем, Альфи.

Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie

Пока ты не найдешь любовь, по которой скучал, ты ничто, Альфи.

When you walk let your heart lead the way

Когда ты идешь, позволь своему сердцу вести тебя.

And you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie

И ты найдешь любовь в любой день, Альфи, Альфи.
