Tom Russell - Blue Wing

Текст

He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder

Well it might have been a blue bird I don't know

But he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska

The salmon boats and 45 below

He said he got that blue wing up in Walla Walla

And his cellmate there was Little Willy John

And Willy he was once a great blues singer

And Wing and Willy wrote 'em up a song. They said...

CHORUS:

It's dark in here; can't see the sky

But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes

And I fly away beyond these walls

Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall

On a poor man's dream.

They paroled Blue Wing in August, of 1963

He moved north picking apples to the town of Wenatchee

Then winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park

On the south side of Seattle where the days grow gray and dark

And he drank and he dreamt of visions when the salmon still ran free

And his fathers' fathers crossed that wild old Bering Sea

And the land belonged to everyone and there were old songs yet to sing

Now it's narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing

CHORUS:

Well he drank his way to LA, and that's where he died

And no one knew his Christian name and there was no one there to cry

But I dreamt there was a funeral, a preacher and a cheap pine box

And half way through the service, Blue Wing began to talk. He said...

CHORUS:

Hey hey, On a poor man's dream

Hey hey, On a poor man's dream.

Перевод

У него на плече была татуировка с синим крылом

Ну, возможно, это была синяя птица, я не знаю

Но он напивался и говорил об Аляске

Лодки с лососем и 45 ниже

Он сказал, что у него есть синее крыло в Уолла Уолла

И его сокамерником там был Маленький Вилли Джон

И Вилли, он когда-то был великим блюзовым певцом

И Винг и Вилли написали: запиши песню. Они сказали...

ПРИВ:

Здесь темно; неба не видно

Но я смотрю на это синее крыло и закрываю глаза

И улетаю за эти стены

Вверх, над облаками, куда не идет дождь

На мечта бедняка.

Они освободили Блу Уинг условно-досрочно в августе 1963 года

Он переехал на север, собирая яблоки, в город Уэнатчи

Затем зима наконец застала его в заброшенном трейлерном парке

На южная часть Сиэтла, где дни становятся серыми и темными

И он пил, и ему снились видения, когда лосось все еще был на свободе

И отцы его отцов пересекли то дикое старое Берингово море

И земля принадлежала всем, и еще нужно было петь старые песни

Теперь все сузилось до дешевого отеля и татуированного тюремного крыла

ПРИВ:

Ну, он пил по пути в Лос-Анджелес. , и там он умер

И никто не знал его христианского имени и некому было плакать

Но мне приснились похороны, проповедник и дешевый сосновый ящик

И на полпути через службе, Голубое Крыло начал говорить. Он сказал...

ПРИВ:

Эй-эй, Мечта бедняка

Эй-эй, Мечта бедняка.
