Ralph McTell - Streets Of London

Текст

Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper,
with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

Chorus: So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking,
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

Chorus

In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven,
Same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his teacup,
Each tea lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone

Chorus

Have you seen the old man
Outside the Seaman's Mission
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
In our winter city,
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care

Chorus
Перевод

Вы видели старика
На закрытом рынке
Поднимающего газету в стоптанных туфлях?
В его глазах вы не видите гордости
Рука держится свободно рядом с ним
Вчерашняя газета со вчерашними новостями

Припев: Так как же ты можешь говорить мне, что ты одинок,
И говорить за тебя, что солнце не светит?
Пусть я возьму тебя за руку и поведу по улицам Лондона
Покажу тебе что-то, что заставит тебя передумать

Вы видели старушку
, которая ходит по улицам Лондона
Грязь в волосах и одежда в лохмотьях?
Ей не до разговоров,
Она просто продолжает идти
Несет ее домой в двух сумках.

Припев

В круглосуточном кафе
В четверть двенадцатого,
Тот же старик сидит там один
Смотрит на мир
Поверх края своей чашки,
Каждого чая хватает час
И он бредет домой один

Припев

Вы видели старика
Вне Миссии Моряка
Память тускнеет вместе с лентами с медалями, которые он носит
В нашем зимнем городе
Дождь плачет из жалости
Еще одного забытого героя
И мира, которому все равно

Припев
