Nanci Griffith - Armstrong

Текст

Black boy in Chicago, playing in the street
Not near enough to wear, not near enough to eat
Don't you know he saw it on a July afternoon?
He saw a man named 'Armstrong' walk upon the moon

Young girl in Calcutta, barely eight years old
The flies that swarm the market place will see she don't get old
Don't you know she heard it yeah on that July afternoon?
She heard a man named 'Armstrong' he walked upon the moon
She heard a man named 'Armstrong' he walked upon the moon

The rivers are getting dirty and the wind is getting bad
War and hate are killing off the only earth we have
But the world all stopped to watch it, yeah, on that July afternoon
To watch a man named 'Armstrong' walk upon the moon

To watch a man named 'Armstrong' walk upon the moon
To watch a man named 'Armstrong' walk upon the moon
And I wonder if a long time ago, somewhere in the universe
They watched a man named 'Adam' walk upon the earth

Перевод

Черный мальчик в Чикаго, играет на улице
Недостаточно близко, чтобы надеть, недостаточно близко, чтобы поесть
Разве ты не знаешь, что он видел это июльским днем?
Он видел человека по имени «Армстронг» ходит по Луне

Молодая девочка из Калькутты, ей едва исполнилось восемь лет
Мухи, которые роятся на рынке, позаботятся о том, чтобы она не старела
Разве ты не знаешь, что она слышала да, в тот июльский день?
Она слышала человека по имени «Армстронг», он ходил по Луне
Она слышала человека по имени «Армстронг», он ходил по Луне

Реки становятся грязными и ветер усиливается
Война и ненависть убивают единственную землю, которая у нас есть
Но весь мир остановился, чтобы посмотреть на это, да, в тот июльский день
Чтобы посмотреть, как идет человек по имени «Армстронг» на луне

Наблюдать, как человек по имени «Армстронг» ходит по луне
Наблюдать, как человек по имени «Армстронг» ходит по луне
И мне интересно, было ли это давным-давно, где-то в Вселенная
Они наблюдали, как человек по имени «Адам» ходил по земле
