John Prine - The Torch Singer

0
Текст
 
The night club was burning
From the torch singer's song
And the sweat was floodin' her eyes
The catwalk squeaked 'neath the bartender's feet
And the smoke was too heavy to rise
 
She sang of the love that left her
And of the woman that she'll never be
Made me feel like the buck and a quarter
That I paid 'em to listen and see
I paid 'em to listen and see
 
I was born down in Kansas
'Neath the October sky
Work the day shift from seven to three
And the only relief that I receive
Is nearer my God to Thee
 
She constantly throws me off timing
Leaves me standing both naked and bare
Makes me feel like the Sunday funnies
After every thing's gone off the air
Every thing's gone off the air
 
Picked through the ashes
Of the torch singer's song
And I ordered my money around
For whiskey and pain both taste the same
During the time they go down
 
She sang of the love that left her
And of the woman that she'll never be
Made me feel like the buck and a quarter
That I paid 'em to listen and see
I paid 'em to listen and see
Перевод
 
Ночной клуб горел
От факельной песни певицы
И пот заливал ей глаза
Подиум скрипел под ногами бармена
И дым был слишком тяжелым, чтобы подняться
Она пела о любви, которая ее покинула
И о женщине, которой она никогда не станет
Заставила меня почувствовать себя долларом с четвертью
Что я заплатил им, чтобы они послушали и увидели
Я заплатил им, чтобы они послушали и увидели
 
Я родился в Канзасе
'Под октябрьским небом
Работаю в дневную смену с семи до трех
И единственное облегчение, которое Я получаю
Ближе к Тебе мой Бог
 
Она постоянно сбивает меня с толку
Оставляет меня голым и голым
Заставляет меня чувствовать себя как воскресные шутки
После того, как все закончилось снято с эфира
Все исчезло с эфира
 
Собрано из пепла
Песни факельного певца
И я распорядился своими деньгами
Ибо виски и боль имеют одинаковый вкус
Пока они падали
 
Она пела о любви, которая ее покинула
И о женщине, которой она никогда не станет
Заставила меня почувствовать себя долларом с четвертью
Что я заплатил им, чтобы они послушали и увидели
Я заплатил им, чтобы они послушали и увидели
