Mary Chapin Carpenter - Ideas Are Like Stars

0
Текст
 
Today Joseph is sitting alone
With occasional nods to the waitress
She tops off his cup while she's snapping her gum
Making her rounds on the lunch shift
 
Counting out coins, he leaves them arranged
In neat lines and circles and arcs
She just stares at the tip that spells out her name
And ideas are like stars
 
And yesterday pedaling down 4th Avenue
Between the stalls and the bookshops
The sepia tones of a lost afternoon
Cradled a curio storefront
 
And inside the air was thick with the past
As the dust settled onto his heart
And here for a moment is every place in the world
And ideas are like stars
 
They fall from the sky, they run round your head
They litter your sleep as they beckon
They'd teach you to fly without wires or thread
They promise if only you'd let them
 
For the language of longing never had words
So how did you speak from your heart
Yet here is a box that swears it has heard
That ideas are like stars
 
Tonight Joseph stood out in the yard
As Debussy played from the kitchen
Celestial companions 'til mornings first lark
Shone overhead and he listened
 
And who was that shadow there by the gate?
Who was that there standing guard?
It was only loneliness and loneliness waits
And ideas are like stars, ideas are like stars
 
Перевод
 
Сегодня Джозеф сидит один
Изредка кивает официантке
Она наполняет его чашку, пока щелкает жвачку
Обходит обеденную смену
 
Считает монеты, он оставляет их упорядоченными
Опрятными линиями, кругами и дугами
Она просто смотрит на кончик, на котором написано ее имя
И идеи подобны звездам
 
А вчера катались на педалях по 4-й авеню
Между прилавками и книжными магазинами
Сепия потерянного дня
Витрина антикварного магазина
 
А внутри воздух был густым от прошлого
Когда пыль оседала на его сердце
И здесь на мгновение каждое место в мире
И идеи подобны звездам
 
Они падают с неба, они бегают вокруг твоей головы
Они засоряют твой сон, маня
Они научат тебя летать без проводов и ниток
Они обещают, если только ты им позволишь
 
Ибо язык тоски никогда не имел слов
Так как же ты говорил от всего сердца
Тем не менее, вот коробка, которая клянется, что услышала
Что идеи подобны звездам
 
Сегодня вечером Джозеф стоял во дворе
Когда Дебюсси играл на кухне
Небесные спутники до утра первый жаворонок
Светил над головой, и он слушал
 
А что это была за тень там у ворот?
Кто это там стоял на страже?
Это было только одиночество и одиночество ждет
И идеи как звезды, идеи как звезды
