He went to Paris
Looking for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive
Young and aggressive
Savin' the world on his own
But the warm summer breezes
The French wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
His summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And four to five years slipped away
Then he went to England
Played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And bore him young son named Jim
And all of the answers, and all the questions
He locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet
Clean country livin' and
Twenty more years slipped away
Well, the war took his baby
Bombs killed his lady
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered
His whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry
While the tears were falling and he was recalling
Answers he'd never found
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound
Now he lives in the islands
Fishes the pilings
And drinks his green label each day
Writing his memoirs
Losin' his hearin'
But he don't care what most people
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile, and he'll say,
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all of the way."
And he went to Paris
Lookin' for answers to questions
That bothered him so
Перевод
Он отправился в Париж
В поисках ответов
На вопросы, которые его так беспокоили
Он был впечатляющим
Молодой и агрессивный
Спасая мир в одиночку
Но теплые летние ветры
Французские вина и сыры
подавили его амбиции
Его лето и зима
Разлетелись как щепки
И четыре-пять лет ускользнули
Затем он уехал в Англию
Играл на пианино
И женился на актрисе по имени Ким
У них была прекрасная жизнь, она была хорошей женой
И родила ему маленького сына по имени Джим
И все ответы и все вопросы
Однажды он заперся на чердаке
Потому что ему нравилась тишина
Чистая деревенская жизнь и
Прошло еще двадцать лет
Ну, война забрала его ребенка
Бомбы убили его даму
И оставили ему только один глаз
Его тело было избито
Весь его мир был разрушен
И все, что он мог сделать, это просто плакать
Пока слезы падали, и он вспоминал
Ответы, которые он так и не нашел
Итак, он прыгнул на грузовое судно, пронесся по океану
И покинул Англию без единого звука
Теперь он жив на островах
Ловит рыбу
И каждый день пьет свою зеленую этикетку
Пишет мемуары
Теряет слух
Но его не волнует, что делает большинство людей
Через восемьдесят -шесть лет вечного двигателя
Если ты ему нравишься, он улыбнется и скажет:
"Джимми, что-то в этом волшебно, что-то трагично
Но у меня была хорошая жизнь все это время. путь."
И он поехал в Париж
Ищет ответы на вопросы
Это его так беспокоило
