Richard Thompson - We Sing Hallelujah

Текст

A man is like a rusty wheel
On a rusty cart
He sings his song as he rattles along
and then he falls apart.

And we'll sing hallelujah
At the turning of the year
And we work all day in the old fashioned way
'Till the shining star appears

A man is like a briar
He covers himself with thorns
He laughs like a clown when his fortune's down
And his clothes are ragged and torn

And we'll sing hallelujah
At the turning of the year
And we work all day in the old fashioned way
'Till the shining star appears

A man is like a three string fiddle
Hanging up on the wall.
He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow
Or he can't play at all.

And we'll sing hallelujah
At the turning of the year
And we work all day in the old fashioned way
'Till the shining star appears

A man is like his father
Wishes he never was born.
He longs for the time when the clock will chime
And he's dead for evermore.

And we'll sing hallelujah
At the turning of the year
And we work all day in the old fashioned way
'Till the shining star appears

And we'll sing hallelujah
At the turning of the year
And we work all day in the old fashioned way
'Till the shining star appears

Перевод

Человек подобен ржавому колесу
На ржавой телеге
Он поет свою песню, гремя
а потом разваливается.

И мы споем аллилуйя
На исходе года
И мы работаем весь день по старинке
'Пока не появится сияющая звезда

Человек подобен шиповнику
Он покрывает себя шипами
Он смеется как клоун, когда его состояние рушится
И его одежда изорвана и оборвана

И мы будем петь аллилуйю
В конце года
И мы работаем все день по старинке
'Пока не появится сияющая звезда

Человек подобен трехструнной скрипке
Висит на стене.
Он играет, когда кто-то царапает смычок
Или он вообще не умеет играть.

И мы споем аллилуйю
В начале года
И мы работаем весь день по старинке
'Пока появляется сияющая звезда

Человек похож на своего отца
Жаль, что он никогда не рождался.
Он жаждет того времени, когда часы зазвонят
И он мертв навеки.

И мы споём аллилуйю
На исходе года
И мы работаем весь день по старинке
'Пока не появится сияющая звезда

И мы пойте аллилуйя
В начале года
И мы работаем весь день по старинке
'Пока не появится сияющая звезда
