Flightless Bird, American Mouth* (оригинал Iron And Wine)
Бескрылая птица, американский рот (перевод )
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
Я был резвым пареньком и глубокo нырял за монетами.
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
В свете уличных фонарей все пристально разглядывали мои пластмассовые игрушки.
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
А потом копы прикрыли лавочку, и я обрезал свои длинные детские волосы,
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere
Украл потёртую карту и стал звать тебя повсюду.
Have I found you
Нашёл ли я тебя,
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Бескрылую птицу, ревнующую и плачущую?
Or lost you, American mouth
Или я потерял тебя, американский рот,
Big pill looming
Иллюзию, вызванную большой дозой?
Now I'm a fat house cat
Теперь я – жирный домашний кот,
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Выхаживаю свой больной шершавый язык,
Watching the warm poison rats
Смотрю, как ещё тёплые, но уже отравленные крысы
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Лезут сквозь большие дырки в заборе
Pissing on magazine photos
И мочатся на фото в журналах,
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
А потом станут приманкой, заброшенной в горный источник холодной
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream
И чистой Христовой крови.
Have I found you
Нашёл ли я тебя,
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
Бескрылую птицу, лишённую возможности летать, истекающую кровью?
Or lost you, American mouth
Или я потерял тебя, американский рот,
Big pill stuck going down
Большую таблетку, застрявшую при глотании?
Flightless Bird, American Mouth * (original Iron And Wine)
Wingless Bird, American Mouth (translation)
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
I was a frisky kid and dived deeply for coins.
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
In the light of the street lamps, everyone was staring at my plastic toys.
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
And then the cops closed the shop and I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere
He stole a worn card and began calling you everywhere.
Have I found you
Did I find you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
A wingless bird, jealous and crying?
Or lost you, American mouth
Or I lost you, American mouth,
Big pill looming
A high dose illusion?
Now I'm a fat house cat
Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Nursing my aching rough tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
I watch how warm, but already poisoned rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Climb through the big holes in the fence
Pissing on magazine photos
And piss on photos in magazines
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And then they become bait thrown into a cold mountain spring
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream
And the pure blood of Christ.
Have I found you
Did I find you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
A wingless bird, deprived of the ability to fly, bleeding?
Or lost you, American mouth
Or I lost you, American mouth,
Big pill stuck going down
A large pill stuck when swallowed?
