В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я слишком крепок
Ей меня не сломить
Я говорю сиди там
Я никому не позволю увидеть тебя
В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я заливаю её виски
И вдыхаю сигаретный дым
И шлюхи и бармены
И продавцы в бакалее
Ни за что не узнают что она там
В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я слишком крепок
Ей меня не сломить
Я говорю не высовывайся
Хочешь все мне изгадить
Хочешь испортить мне всю работу
Хочешь сорвать мне продажи в Европе
В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я слишком умен
Я выпускаю её лишь иногда по ночам
Когда все спят
Я говорю я знаю что ты там
Не грусти
Затем сажаю её обратно
Но она и там тихонько поёт
Я не даю ей умереть
И мы спим вместе
Как по тайному соглашению
И это так хорошо
Что взрослый мужчина мог бы расплакаться
Но я не плачу
А вы?

Bluebird
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
Charles Bukowski
In my heart lives a blue bird
Who dreams of escaping
But I'm too strong
She will not break me
I say sit there
I will not let anyone see you.
In my heart lives a blue bird
Who dreams of escaping
But I pour her whiskey
And I inhale the cigarette smoke
And whores and bartenders
And sellers in groceries
Do not know what she's up there
In my heart lives a blue bird
Who dreams of escaping
But I'm too strong
She will not break me
I say do not be put out
Do you want to mock me all?
You want to ruin my whole work
You want to ruin my sales in Europe
In my heart lives a blue bird
Who dreams of escaping
But I'm too smart
I release it only occasionally at night
When everyone is asleep
I say I know what you are there
Do not be sad
Then I plant it back
But she sings softly there too
I do not let her die
And we sleep together
As by secret agreement
And it's so good
What a grown man could cry
But I do not pay
And you?
